The 2 Litre, 4 Cylinder engine in the Golf GTI puts out just a shade under at just above 200...

And the 2 litre, 4 Cylinder in This (Vauxhall Astra VXR) gives 240!

But back on topic, its a nice car and whilst the V8 would be ideal the V6 is a nice engine! Shame we dont get those over here

07 Camry 3.5 liter V6 produces 268 hp and 248 lb ft of torque and gets 22 city/31 highway.

THAT would be a good engine for the V6 Mustang.

Car is good bang for the buck, but totally pointless as are all sports cars.

Can't haul with it, can't put people in it. Eats gas.

The new Mustang owners are so lame. They always try to show balls on the street when obviously my car isn't fast enough, it just so happens I pass them because they are going the speed limit and decide to speed up to show they are bad asses and I laugh at them. My friends Neon SRT4 eats them at the track too.

210hp for 4 litres is pretty bad considering what other engines are putting out with a lower displacement.

No it would not. Do you not understand DOHC and American Muscle.

I am so glad you know more than an engineer that has designed engines his whole life. And, only n00bs argue about the hp per liter.

No offense to you, but it's still a neon. :laugh:

OK... so now you're simply throwing in the national argument. If you took the 2 motors, regardless of the shell its in... which is going to be a better performer?

 

[Gunslinger08]

Good move. I have a black 06 GT.. which is in dire need of a wash. Enjoy it.

What's gayer, a V6 engine OR inviting your insurance agent to bend you over and have his way with you?

How much difference in quote was the V8 vs V6?

I paid right around $30k for my GT with the red leather interior, premium package, and the top of the line stereo. My insurance is around $1200 a year for full coverage.

Your ignorance shows...by American Muscle I did not mean nationality I mean DOHC rumbling that you cannot get from some Camry dust vac sounding engine. Are you going to argue that the Fox body 5.0 mustangs were inefficient also? :disgust:

 

[holden j caufield]

Not my first choice in that price range but that's still a nice car.

Honestly, if it wasn't the Charger, I'd probably have gotten a Mustang myself.

GO CHARGER!

V6 Rumbling? Who buys a V6 for the sound? V6s don't rumble, they sound decent with the right exhaust, but i've heard very few with a "rumble"

I'm a fan of specific cars/engines. Not of automakers. If you want to rumble, yes, buy an American V8. But your argument to buy a V6 "b/c its American muscle that rumbles" is pretty weak. You're a ford fanboy, so I can understand your bias, but dude... really... let me guess, you'd also say the 2jz-gte is a POS "b/c it doesn't rumble, its a crappy import motor"

:disgust:

I simply implied that they can do better with the V6 than they did.

 

[Estrella]

I am going to have to disagree with you on your purchase. My gf's bestfriend just got a 2001 BMW 530i in perfect condition for something like 14k(something around this price). The car is pristine with low miles. With the exception of warranties and so on and so forth, I think it is way better to get a nice used car. Let someone else pay the depreciation if you want to OWN it.

I just would have bought something ultra cheap and ultra reliable and then have gotten something a LOT nicer a year or two down the road. No parent hand me downs? If not, that sux.

Btw, props to you for making 40k a year at twenty. I am twenty-one and not making ******(god, hopefully at least decent grades this semester.) Anyway, I would have waited until I was 24 or 25 and then have gotten something nice if I were you.

What made you purchase a vehicle at such a young age? What made you say I need one now?

You guys are all obsessed about HP ...what about torque? The 4.0 L V6 puts out about 240 lb-ft of it. I highly doubt the golf or any other little 4 banger gets anywhere near that.

There is no replacement for displacement =).

It's a truck engine, what do you expect. Toyota's 3.5 puts out more torque than that 4 Litre, while getting better mileage. I'm not dogging the car by any means, it's pretty good value.

the V6 mustang's purpose is just the budget model so they can sell more cars... i don't think they're going to spend too much R&D into budget cars...

but yes they can at least look into porting an engine like this

but i guess something that advanced would render the V8 redundant.

Good point - it seems however that if they build an advanced V6 with good power/displacement it'd be usable in other platforms as well (suv, midsize sedans, etc)

I personally don't see the point of buying a V6 mustang. If I were to buy one, i'd get the V8, the V6 just doesn't do that car justice.

Actually, it's even gayer to think that dropping $20k+ on a car will improve your image.

Sports car is about having fun. Like any toy you have to pay to play. Mustang is about as practical sports car you can buy with two rear seats and afforable price.
