I'm a Stang Owner again.

It ain't no V8 (yes it's an Auto), but I love it. I test drove an 04 GT , 5-Speed and that thing was a pig! My TC felt way stronger. Too bad it just would not stay running... this would of never happened. But I think I'll get over it though.

:D

Looks great. You're missing a pedal and two cylinders, but hey... you knew you would catch hell for that. :)
A friend of mine has an '07 V6 with the 5-speed. I was impressed with its power, actually.

if it was manual id also insist on a hurst shifter. those two mods are the first things that should be done to every s197.

Sweet:D

I wish Ford would put the Pony grill on GTs. It looks much better IMO.

I was really impressed with the 4.0 V6 as well. Definitely not the same as the 3.8 it replaced. I wanted a 99-04 GT soooo bad, but after driving the 07, I was sold. I couldn't even wipe the smile off my face when I walked back into the dealership. Believe me, I tried very hard to convince the two ladies (my fiance and her friend the saleslady) that I belonged in a used V8. Obviously I failed. :)

It'll be nice to have a car that doesn't need work all the time.  It's great to be able to hit that key and know it will start.

Absolutely. Nice purchase. Last year I rented an 06' (V-6) for a trip to Gatlinburg with my girlfreind. I like it allot myself as well. If they had one that I could trailer a cougar in, I may have bought one. I liked my 04' Mach1, that you saw when I was at your place, but the newer body style has the room and feel more to the liking of our foxes, or more to my liking anyway. Good ride, more comfortable to drive and cruise in, good power and a great body style to boot. Enjoy man ;)

one of my best firends has an 07 V6 w/ 5 spd. he has done a little to it, like cold air intake,  true dual Pypes exhaust, and  Hurst short throw shifter. It runs pretty nice, definatly WAY WAY stronger than my 3.8 in my Mustang!! It is a really nice car! I like your color better though, his is white :D  Looks good man!!

One thing I didn't count on was how much attention this V6 Pony would get. I haven't had it 24hrs and I can already tell when someone is going to say "Nice car". It's kinda cool yet unsettling at the same time.

well get used to it as its a sweet looking car. they are finally growing on me. doesnt take much to make them look awesome. a set of wheels and a hood and they look killer. brave getting black though. its such a pita to keep looking nice. course, you know that allready.

i wish i knew you were looking otherwise possibly we could have worked something out if you were interested. were looking at houses right now and ive been thinking of unloading the car to help with a down payment and get me into a better house. im right on the edge in my area for a house i can see myself in for the next bunch of years. she wants to stay in this town but its a touch too pricey for me.

you know what.. it really dont matter if it isnt a GT or  if it's a stick it's you daily driver. they all look killer  i like the pony grill beter than the GT good luck with it sir.  if you end up needing power down the road you can allways go paxton.

Nice Mustang Antonio. Nothing beats a new car. Guaranteed to work without trouble and if you do have problems, the dealer fixes it for free.  Well for a little while at least.

I think the majority of us will agree with you on that one. Still a cool car though.

Nah V6 is cool. I Know if I bought the GT I'd start modding it ASAP and before you know it I would need another daily driver

Nice stang btw, I love the nice new black paint, keep up with paint cause when black is clean its great.. don't let it get away from you.

Isn't the v6 in those cars actually more powerful than a 5.0 ho?

CAI Kit with Tune, 3.73s, TL, and Exhaust eventually. Not going to mod it too much as this is my first new car (ever!) and it is my daily driver. And now I can concentrate on modding darkthunder. There will be some suspension mods as well, but I'm still feeling things out right now.

Don't worry I'm not getting one... yet. :D

Heh, V6 mustangs start at 19 grand.
GTs start at what like 25 grand?

You could get a V6 and the turbo kit and still be a couple grand less than a GT, and 100 horsepower higher.

Black leather is bad. I can hear the smell the flesh cooking now. :D


Looks good. The 4.0 is a monster of a V6. I had one in my aerostar and that thing would roast the tires off any time I wanted to.

Me likes. Yes V8 would be nice but it sure looks good. Leather isn't that bad you just need to get used to it.

All i gotta say is for new Cars i drove at Lincoln MKZ while at barret-jackson 10 mins after i test drove the C6 Vett and it still did not feel slow or boaring after the vett ride. 3.5L 6 speed automatic only thing more fun than a V6 mustang wait no the fusion still seemed as fast with the extra 15 horsepower.

Very clean ride i don't want one till they go down in price in a few more years. But its a nice car have fun with it.

My moms 05 sport trac has the 4.0 and comes with 4.11 gears Go get you some 4.11s and that thing would move really quick.

Throw a 9 PSI vortech on it and be done.  I know of a v6 car that lived for quite some time on 15 pounds before it went.  9 will be fine.
