No I'm not mad Kevin, I'm perplexed as to why you would pay $16,000 for a V6 when you could get a decent GT for almost the same.

frownonfun, I wouldn't call one the S197 chassis a poor man's sports car. Its a good platform for going to the drag strip and throwing down decent 1/4 mile times and also for taking to a road course. Please don't take my argument as one of those frothing at the mouth die-hards.

Garms Yaris has 357 HP (in one of the lightest cars available). A Mustang would probably need about 450 HP to compete. I've never seen a base Mustang with those specs.

Lol on his videos he dragged with a yellow 2nd last gen one. It was a convertible aswell I think. Those might not have as much horsepower unmodded, a v6 with the new genre of engines has almost if not 400 hp then the v8 has like 420+ or something with the 5.0 and the v6 has a 4.6 I beleve.

Not saying garms car blows, I'd honestly rather have a Yaris that fast over a mustang even though a modded mustang would do alot more. A Yaris with tons of power with its lightness size and handling would massacre any mustang.

A base Ford Mustang V6 has almost 400HP? I'm sorry but this thread is full of FAIL. Even a MUSTANG FORUM would be laughing AT YOU right now. That number is SO FAR OFF, it's beyond funny.

I actually like the Mustang. But 400HP on a stock V6, HA! How about you go to Ford.com and look it up yourself.
3.7L V6 @305HP
5.0L V8 @402HP

That's the new Mustang, as well.


The old one barely put down 200HP IIRC...

In 2009, the 4.0L V6 put down 210HP and the 4.6L V8 GT put down 300HP, and the V8 was bumped up to 315 for 2010.

Not hating on Mustangs. . . just on ridiculously INCORRECT information.

Feel free to close, and sorry I got my upgrades completely messed up.

Mr.3rdworldcountry is correct.
