seriously what's the point?
uhhhhhhhh better gas mileage?
idk
Your friend drives a car that every college sorority girl drives because she wanted something "fast"
>>15224545
Less likely to hit pedestrians
>>15224559
nah if he bought a v6 he is still retarded and just as likely.
What's wrong with a 2011+ v6 mustang?
>>15224545
Tell you're friend thanks for taking one for the team. It's idiots like him why ford sells trillions of mustangs, which in turn allows the principals of mass production to keep the real mustang (v8) price low.
>>15224559
>implying mustangs wouldn't still hit pedestrians even if they only had one cylinder
The 3.7 V6 mustang from today has as much hp as the 4.6 V8 mustang from 10 years ago
Hell even the Ecoboost 4 banger makes more power than the 2006 GT
V6 mustang is fine.
>>15224599

what?
>>15224545
There's a V6 mustang in the town I live in that I've been seeing for a few years now. It sounds cool and rips hectic skids so it's all good
>>15224660
"Though it gains a few pounds compared with the outgoing model, this 2015 Mustang carries its burden more evenly. In EcoBoost guise, weight distribution is 52/48 front-to-rear; wearing 5.0 trim, it's slightly more nose-heavy at 53/47. Still, that's a vast improvement over the previous 57/43 split, and the closest any production Mustang has ever come to perfect 50/50 allocation."
>>15224711
That's not bad at all

>>15224566
Could've had a slightly older V8 for the same price.
>>15224599
A new 3.7 V6 Mustang starts at 24.2K, and makes 304hp.
A new 2.3 I4T Mustang starts at 25.6K, and makes 314hp.
A secondhand Mustang GT, at 25K, is pretty damn loaded, and comes with a 400hp V8.
For the price of any given V6 ponycar, you can always afford a slightly older V8 model with more power.

Actually the 2015 has about 52-53% front weight.
And the 05 gt had about 53% front weight.

And what do you fucks drive? 4 cyls? What v6 mustang did he buy? If its 2011 or newer, its probably still triple the HP of anything you'll ever own.
I'm a v8 guy myself, but these new v6s are 22k sticker price, and that isn't bad when you compare it to other new cars. I bought my termi for a lot cheaper than that though
I think you need to find better friends.

>>15226228
>If its 2011 or newer, its probably still triple the HP of anything you'll ever own.
And if it's a V8 it would have even more power. Being able to only go a little faster than a car with an engine from the 90's is sad.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the V6 mustang is a poser trim.
>>15226300

Why is it that the V6 Mustang always gets shot on? Same shit with the Cayman in comparison to the 911
Is it just bitter econobox drivers?
>>15226337
A V6 Mustang is for people with poor decision making skill. Could've had an objectively better, slightly older V8 model for the same money, maybe a bit less. The stereotype of a V6 Mustang driver is a girl who begged daddy to buy one for her, or a guy who knows nothing about cars.
Cayman vs. 911 is a whole different game. Cayman has traditionally been gimped by Porsche, to protect their moneymaker (the 911) They never offered it with a turbo flat six, no decent naturally aspirated six, hell, the GT4 even has longer gears to make sure it doesn't accelerate faster than a comparable 911.
Also, Porche purists hate anything with the engine in the right place (and watercooled stuff for that matter). Then there's the girls begging daddy for a Porsche convertible - hence the Cockster. It's a cheap way into Porsche ownership, which the purists don't like, it dilutes brand image, just like the 4 cilinder models (914, 924, 944 etc.) did. At the same time, the Cayman chassis is the best they've got (without a milliondollar budget), which makes the purists butthurt. If Porsche would just man the fuck up and slap the GT2 engine in the Cayman, it'd easily outrun the 911 GT2.
Point is, the Cayman is a good car in itsefl, but it's gimped by Porsche, hated by purists, and has reputation that's soured by the Boxster.

As far as i know theyre pretty quick and light with better weight distribution not to mention mpg
>>15226492
>Then whats the stereotype for the ecoboost
Ricer or hypermiler - unless they're making V8 power, in which case they don't have a V8 power curve, and they should've gone with the V8.

One of these things holds value, one of these things doesn't. Hint: It's a mustang. Better get paddling, you're gonna be underwater on that loan for a while.
>>15227954
you know what? It does have the comforts of a minivan. And its great. Maximum comfy.
And debt would be the wrong word, it implies I cant pay for the car.
And the salesman only chuckled when he showed me the first payment schedule with either 7 to 9% interest and I told him "im walking out of here if you don't change that to something much more reasonable."

Oh god, my sides are literally in orbit. No retard, it implies that you owe money on it. I'm able to afford multiple retarded purchase that I can stretch out over a few years, that doesn't mean it's smart.
>And the salesman only chuckled
They don't laugh at in the customers face like I'm doing you. They have the decency to wait until you give them money and or are out of earshot.
>>15227972
actually the V8s hold value much better than the ecoboosts. I already knew that.
But a V8 with the options I would want would be 40K and the insurance higher as well.
>>15227981
Let me rephrase that, anything holds value in comparison to a mustang. A Smart car is a better purchase if you buy it outright than a new mustang.
>>15227992
maybe in 30+ states that aren't California.
>>15226184

>>15228032
and pay coyote prices too. For retard tier suspension.
>>15228033
>missing the point this hard
You are a fucking clueless and obviously live at home still. Nobody said YOU had multiple. Being able to afford =/= smart purchase. You could have almost outright purchased a slightly older V8 mustang. Instead you live at home longer with a i4 Mustang.
>>15228038
>and pay coyote prices too.
Wat? You mean pay less for the same engine as the current v8 in a lighter vehicle that has a solid rear axle instead of independent rear suspension? Totally worth 37k on the i4 for the IRS.
>>15227972
>Buying a M3
You would spend way more than the value your car holds just in maintenance, without taking into account repairs in contrast with the mustang.
>>15228055
Absolutely, it would be a retarded purchase in your early 20's while living with your parents. Just less retarded than paying 37k for a mustang with a Mazda engine.
>>15228038
>Retard suspension.
It hold pretty good against the M3 at the track, i don't know why people hate live rear axles so much when they are decent if done good, something the 2011 - 2014 mustang did.
>>15227368
If you mean old LT1 fuck no
If you mean the new one.... im too poor
>>15228070
Tbh in his shoes i would've gone for a manual v6 2011 - 2012 v6 with the perfomance package, they are like 8 to 12k right now, or maybe a used GTI/Focus ST or hell, a 2012 FRS.
Wasn't the mustang originally a straight 6?
>>15228072
They're idiots, even their favourite Chinese cartoon weeb machine uses a live rear axle

the 2011+ v6 mustang was a clean slate engine or all new design. the best addtion was the 6 speed manual which makes it more fuel effcient than previous v6 mustangs plus with the better chassis than previous cars it handles just as good as the camaro v6 the challenger v6 isnt a challenge to get past...
>>15226362
the v6 mustang is now the middle of the range not the poverty pack it used to be, and with the 300+hp and 6 speed manual its faster and more fuel effcient and handles better than the old 4.6 asthmatic v8.
cayman is a boxter with a roof, and the boxter was a clean slate car as well. its a good fine handling car in its own right without the usual fanboy 911 crowd that goes with it
the 4 cylinder didnt dilute the image, the 924/944 just about killed the brand because audi

They were around 19.900 to 24k brand news, it's been a long time now and even though they have the same engine as the new ones, people only care about the year they were made.
I got mine about a month a go for 8.5k, although the owner wanted 10, it has 23k miles, manual transmission and the performance package, although the rear bumper has a little crack on it, mechanically speaking everything is good, i can't stress enough how much of a difference the Performance package makes.

Thats a stupid rule senpai, the 5.0 and 3.7 uses both the same exact transmission, why would the 5.0 requires more HP than the 3.7? Just because it has more?
The same reason I have a V6 camaro. It does not need premium gas. I live in NY and premium gas is like 60 cents more than regular per gallon
>>15228931

What's the point of buying a mustang at all when a basic economy car is sufficient for 90% of drivers and mustangs bring literally nothing to the table that a corolla doesn't except that it's faster to 60 and sounds better. We're talking about toys and luxuries and people are going to buy what they feel they need that suits their budget and their desires. Honestly the v8 vs v6 mustang debate is just dick measuring that people take far too seriously. "My cheaply made fat RWD pony car is faster and louder than your cheaply made fat RWD pony car, thus I am the more successful human."
Pick the car that suits you and enjoy it.
>>15228211
