      @@zachsmcl Based upon what? I am curious because the PP V6 has a semi-performance gear. I have seen a lot of Mustang V6 vids that do not understand the affect gearing has on performance...yet they tend to make believe they are car guys. The 11 V6 has a aggravating dead spot in the torque curve which is easily corrected with a simple bolt on mod. Not calling you comment out, asking for clarification.

      steven14621462 Which makes it considerably heavier and more bulky and less room to work with in the engine bay. The 302 is just a model of perfection. Now that massive 540 is badass to the bone, and has already proven itself time and time again. But I do have to say the 302 will just naturally be superior due to its power to weight ratio over the 540.

    My girlfriend just bought one of these. Lava red.. It has to be the most powerful v6 I've had the pleasure to drive. It's stance is very solid, almost too solid, it doesn't want to drive with the road I find, more... Pushes against the road quite a bit.. Although it is quite a lot to handle. It's very tough, and if you have the experience and personality/fitness to drive it, you can drive it like it was meant to be driven. However if you're unsure in your abilities, it will be in control

    read comment above from me, 60's mustangs were offered with inline 6's or V8's... V6's didnt come until generation 2, 1974-1978,
    there was a time also that mustang was only offered as 4 cyl or V8. (87-93)
    so mustangs have not always offered V6 engines.
    they have however, always offered a V8 at a price / performance that was very enticing, which is why it still exists today.

The V6 is the new small block, and Ford has obviously done thier homework. Plus its nice looking.

No more huge inefficient V8 engines producing what an Asian sport car can do with a V6. New Mustang 2011 got technology under the hood and it is able to stand side by side with modern sport coupe cars. Now the Mustang is a real competitor for "bangs for the bucks" cars like the Genesis Coupe. Please dont compare this car with a Luxury Wannabe G37. BTW, New Mustang looks great!!

    @byronmohawk Twin independent-variable cam timing. It's an extension of the milder version the three valve 4.6 of 2005-2010. Of course the 2011 has 4 cams and the neat thing about the new system is the intake side has it's own cam and differs it's variation from the exhaust cam. These new heads will outflow anything out there today, not including race heads to be sure, but production heads.

    1) Go to Autotrader.
    2) Select Chevrolet and type in your zip.
    3) Select New Cars and select Chevrolet Camaro.
    4) Look at all of the Camaro SSes starting at at least $35k MSRP and averaging around $37k after extraordinary dealer markup.
    This may not be the same in all areas, but in the DC area you are not going to find a new Camaro SS for less than $35k. This is similar to what dealers did with the Saturn Sky.

I just read that the track pack V6 will even have a better stopping distance than a Mazda Miata ..... if you know anything about racing that's big time. Pay attention this new V6 stang will be a huge hit for club racing and autocross for the next few years.

    @CorvetteRacingFan I agree with you. Everyone has a story about how they paid this or that depending on where you are in the country and a host of other factors. The fact is, the MSRP for the 2011 Mustang V6 is $22,145 and the 2010 370Z is $30,410. Everything else is meaningless because deals and different packages can be had on both sides, but the MSRP is what it is. The GT Premium is $32,845 which is a bargain IMO for the performance.
