  • Which is the BETTER non-GT Ford Mustang? The 2020 Mustang EcoBoost is powered by a 2.3L turbocharged inline-4 & mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The 2017 Mustang V6 has a 3.7L V6 & is mated to a 6-speed automatic. I am going to compare these two Mustangs inside and out to find out Is the 2017 Ford Mustang V6 a BETTER performance car than a 2020 Mustang Ecoboost?

    So many people hate on the V6 yet with a good catback exhaust system you’ll sound better than any EcoBoost + with a procharger you’ll smoke stock 5.0’s and still have money leftover all while paying lower insurance and getting better gas mileage. Ford quickly realized that the V6 has too much potential to outshine the other two engines which is why they killed it. Change my mind.

    I had a white 2012 V6 Mustang Premium Pony Package It was a great car and loved it. I got a ton of compliments from both men and women. The 2011-2012 Pony Package V6 was a beautiful car.
    A few guys at work talked a lot of crap about my car, but I later figured out that it was all based on jealousy. They weren't actually jealous of my V6 Mustang. Not too many people would be. They were jealous because I bought a new car which looked like a beautiful sports car and every time they saw it, they were reminded of the fact that they weren't driving their own dream car.
    If I had bought a new Camry or Accord, nobody would've said a damn word. But, I would take a V6 or EcoBoost Mustang as daily driver, rather than a Camry or Accord, any day of the week.

    My 2015 V6 Mustang with the 051A package which gave you the fog lights, 18” five spoke wheels, color matched spoiler (or delete like I did), and power drivers seat. I also got the Auto Trans and it cost around $26k. I got mine for around $22k and ordered it from the factory. It was built on my birthday which is a great piece of provenance. The larger screen with Nav was NEVER an option on the V6 and neither was leather or the different trim on the dash. I’ve had the car 9 years and I put a Borla S-type cat back exhaust so she sounds amazing. Better than any Ecoboost. My car is a DIY P-51D Mustang Tribute car which has black Lemans stripes with white accent stripes which are an homage to the invasion stripes on Allies fighters during and after D-day June 6 1944. I use two USAAF roundels where 5.0 badges would be on the V8 and a custom tribute edition rear badge with a P-51d as well. She’s a beauty and still turns heads all these years later. 70k miles and I still smile every time I’m behind the wheel. So the V6 is just great to me!

    @timtresch4848 2 года назад +6

    The 3.7L is a great engine for what you want in an entry level muscle/sports car, the reason ford went with the ecoboost is because they wanted to make the Mustang a global car and in a lot of counties they tax the displacement size of the engine. So to get around that Ford developed this turbo-4 to make them more competitive in the global market. Ford has 2 turbocharged V6's very similar in design to the 3.7L that they put in the F150 that both make a lot of power and I think would have been amazing in the Mustang platform but then that would have stepped on the toes of the 5.0. At the end of the day I would say if you want a car that your going to buy and keep for a few years and sell get the Ecoboost, you can put a few minor mods on it and be close to 400HP, which is really impressive for a 4 cylinder, do a down pipe, an intake and a tune have have some with it for a few years and put it back to stock and sell it before the motor blows. if your looking for a long term car, something that you want to get a lot of miles out of go for the 3.7L they've made that engine for a long time now and their fairly reliable, and hey if you want to mod it theirs still a great community and theirs a ton of stuff you can do to a 3.7L, a turbo or procharged on that V6 will have you spanking bolt on ecoboosts and slightly ahead of 5.0s, its not as easy to get more power out of then the 2.3L but I'd rather have the 3.7L long term.

    Yeah, the V6 is the way to go. I don't think the Ecoboost is tuned properly or something -- they just sound too wheezy. It is possible to make a 4 cylinder sound like magic but Ford hasn't figured it out yet. Maybe they should study the Fiat 500 Abarth -- while that car is stupid looking and slow, it has a great exhaust note.

    Had an s550 V6 with 18” oem gloss painted rims and installed Borla SType exhaust it was acousticly loud. Was fun car, traded it for a GT while I have equity on it. Lesson learned, buy a V8 in the first place if your heart tell you to. Save up. If you cant afford a GT dont buy a Mustang alternative to begin with.
    Ford admits cyclone is a durable engine :).
    If you’re set for a V6 or i4 turbo and no ambition for a V8 then you are good too. Otherwise like most first time buyer who didnt buy a V8 will end up buying a V8 sooner or later.

    Fun fact the ecoboost needs premium to make that 10hp more than the 3.7 which makes its power on 87 octane. If you ran the ecoboost on 87 it would make less. If you ran premium on the 3.7 it would essentially be the same hp. Also gotta love that the ecoboost ran an identical 13.7 to the v6s that the v6 ran back in 2011.

I powder-coated mine and they look a heck of lot better. I don't know why automobile manufactures feel the need to make the wheels on all base trim levels either chrome or silver. The color black is in style now and no more expensive to apply than the others.

  • @jked7463
    @jked7463 3 года назад +15

    The two cars have different purposes. The turbo 4 is designed to act like a V-8 with maxed out low end torque. The V-6 is more of a euro engine that has torque higher up in the rev range and likes to rev more with a great sound. And most importantly, NO turbo lag Also, the V-6 has the least weight over the front tires for better turn in. The wheels are a little smaller which means better handling on less than perfect roads. The larger sidewalls also transmit less road shock into the unibody for less metal fatigue over time (a problem with ford's). Finally the V-6 is the only engine that does not require high test. Also, insurance is slightly less with the V-6. With the right tires, it handles well in real world driving. It likes curves but is more of a grand tourer than the turbo. The V-6 is more about a real world car for curves. The turbo is all about 0-60. Woo hoo, I'm a big macho car guy because my car goes fast zero to -60. The V-6 is for mature drivers.

    • @jked7463
      @jked7463 2 года назад +1

      @Arkeves I test drove a turbo before I got the V-6. "Hardly any tubo lag" is correct. But "hardly any" means it has some. The v-6 has none, zero. That is my point. My point in the post above is the different engines create cars with different personalities. Each good in its own way. I happen to prefer the V-6 version.

    • @jked7463
      @jked7463 2 года назад +1

      @Arkeves agreed, getting tired of the horsepower wars going insane. Like you can use 700, or more horsepower in real life. In the words of shrek, "I think he is trying to compensate for something". I once saw a race between a miata vs. a Hellcat on a twisty race course. The Miata easily beat the hellcat. Power is not everything.
