At the end of the day i could sell this car tomorrow for 10k and buy a clean 2v or 3v v8 and not spend anything additional out of pocket but I choose not to cause it’s my car and I like it.

Wanted a gt In this year so bad but stuff didn’t work out the way I wanted got a v6 and love it and I’m never getting rid of it🤷🏾♂️sound nice too and I got a lil build going on never really let the hate bother me I just know I like it
I was looking around at foxbodys a few years ago and found a V6 convertible with 114,000 Mi on it. Watched it on Marketplace is it went from 3000 down to 2,000 and then eventually down to 1200 and scooped it up. Has a v6 and it's got some get up and go. I plan on building it up somehow.
Been daily mine for 4 years now in canadian bipolar weather it was my practice car learning how to work on cars and shit so i basicly beat tf out of it. But never let me down but now im trying to restore it. Best car i have.
@@Kelvin_-qs3uz Basic maintenance oil changes every 3k cuz I run it like a Gt Tune ups only really major maintenance I’ve done to it was the heads a 320k miles and a alternator at 200k
What is interesting about the later model 3.8L found in the New Edge Mustangs is that its only 12 hp less than the prior FOX body 5.0L V8. Further, if one were to make some simple upgrades (cold air intake and updated exhaust) the 3.8L, hp would increase 8 to 10 percent (16 to 20) hp. which is slightly more than that 5.0L. So the later 3.8L (Split Port) is not a bad choice by any means. Add to that some minor chassis tuning (Heavy Front and rear sway bars, Improved shocks and shock mounts, maybe Delrin bushings), a manual gear box (T 3650), larger brakes, with 20" wheels, and you have yourself a decent corner carver for very little money. That said, It stands to reason that a tired V6 (lots of miles on it) would need to be rebuilt in order to reach past the 200 Hp threshold. Its still a worthwhile project Cars are not about HP only.... they are about balance... An engine that can reach its max torque in the 2300 to 3200 rpm range is, an engine which will give one that push they desire, while navigating the apex of a turn. An engine which delivers it torque and HP at 5000 rpm will never be able to move the car through the twisties with adequate power. The Essex V6 and other push rod engines, were about torque, not hp. The 5.0L V8 would make 193 RWhp at 4600 Rpm... However its heart lived in its torque ... 277 ft/lbs at 3000 Rpm
I grew up with a 1990 fox body 5.0 and a 2000 3.8. The 5.0 is literally 4 seconds quicker in the 0-60. A lot more than hp matters like how fast you make that power.
my 2000 v6 mustang has 247,000 miles and no noises or problem. i could beat the GT on a cannon ball run as i fly bye them gasing up ! GT is fun but for what the v6 is and my budget, hey !
I have 3 wonderful V6 and i love them ..they are amazing mustangs .. 2003 premium convertible torch red 🍒 and a 2008 V6 convertible oxford white 🤍 and finally a 2012 cyclone 🌀 Kona blue coupe mustang 💙 trust me when you pull up anywhere with 3 mustangs ...you see a lot of turning heads .. they all in great condition.. 2003 has 94,000 miles my 2008 has 101,000 miles and the 2012 has 87,000
They seriously are tanks tho my cy I red line all the time and it's over heated multiple times and it has 265k miles on it and it still runs once I fix the next part out on it
Found to make my 04 3.8 sound realllly good is bbk shorty headers and a black widow neighbor hater muffler with a 2.5” inlet- 4” outlet. Haven’t done my mid pipe yet but so far I’m pretty satisfied
First off I wanna say my comments are for new edge ONLY. I'm a new edge dude. I don't care to own any other car or mustang at this point. The body does it for me as far as cars with a back seat. And I feel the interior is fun to be in. The v6 is the best car for the streets. Im talking about putting some miles on it. I live in Texas... so I'm talking real driving. Like to go just about anywhere is like 30 mins ONE way. Let me drop these facts. I had a procharged mach 1 dyno at 468 to REAR WHEELS. I currently have three gts. One gt is cammed with nos...420 to REAR tires. Facts about my v6 that l love. It's a 5 spd. Thing will take off from a dead stop in 3 gear. Best thing is crazy good gas mileage. Next...I have a stage 3 clutch on it. I rev it to 3500 rmp and dump it just about every time I drive it. I have embarrassed many around my parts from a dead stop. Got that driver mod my good man. Has cold air intake, headers, high flow cats, high flow mufflers and a tune. Sitting on 295 tires all around and very sticky. I currently have and will be adding soon. Gt rear end with posi traction...I believe that's the factory 8.8. And 345 tires in the rear. Yes three forty-five... they will fit with minor modifications. I run them on my gt that is cammed with nos currently. Got pics to prove. Spinning...ain't winning. Power without traction is not effective.
I own a coyote and like it so much i got an 01 3.8 for a daily and i love it and it sounds great with the new exhaust i put on it and for what it is its got some pep lol
i just got my mom a manual v6 00 mustang so she can get used to rwd. once shes had it for a few months im putting in a 4.6 or 5.0 for her to really get the full experience. but the 3.8 is a very reliable motor. just do oul changes and it will last you, also not terrible on fuel. mind you i drive a 5.6L nissan patrol
I got a 97 3.8 with just a flowmaster and it sounds like a V8. Just don’t straight pipe a V6 Mustang and get an actual exhaust system or else it’ll sound like a V6.
if ya wanna see some crazy v6 mustang builds check out my playlist on my channel. originally made the playlist to highlight some great sounding exhausts but there are some nutty builds on this list.
I got a 03 V6 as my first car quite a few years ago. I bought it at 109K Miles - rn I’m boutta hit 160K. I beat the fuck out of that thing almost every time I drive it. And I’ve never had any too major problems. It’s not fast, but it’s fun and it looks good.
I have a not so stock 1989 5.0 hatchback and a 1996 sixer with a 2000 split port engine swapped in. The fox body feels slower until you lay on the pedal, but for some reason the V6 just *wants* to go. It feels more "zippy" at low speeds. It's hard to explain other than that.
I blew a V6 motor back in the day, me and a buddy were racing eachother through a small town and i floored it the entire time in a low gear with almost redline RPM and within about 15 minutes i felt a huge drop in power and it started knocking, i kept driving it like that until the knock was so loud it threw a rod lol so yeah its possible to blow them up. It had 180,000 miles on it with cheap oil, could of had another internal issue i didnt know about like bad oil pump or pick up... I have a 2002 GT now and it's not super fast but i love how the 4.6 sounds... v6 is a good daily
Almost the same as me 😂😂 I was driving back from Virginia raced a Tiburon and just held it at redline for miles lolol 186k but yea only blew a head gasket but drove that sucker all the way back to nj. Threw a used jasper in it and drove it till I got my gt.
The later ones tend to be better. I had a few of the earlier ones (1984). One was blown when I got it (could hear the rod bouncing off the oil pan), and another blew the head gaskets. The current one seems to be solid. Good daily driver. Terrible mileage. 😅 I am just going to keep cleaning this one up and driving it until the truck is drivable, then sell it. The biggest downside is finding replacement parts for the V6 cars. A lot of stuff isn't available, and half of what is costs three times as much as the V8 stuff. My neighbor with a V6 Firebird from the same era has the same problem.
I bought a V6 last year and didn’t even have it for a month before some lady jumped out in front of me and wrecked it. Now I’m in college and drive pretty far to get there. I want a GT but my gut is telling me to get a V6 😅
I had a 2000 v6 an i loved it i got rid of it sadly but i got a 3.8 v6 1998 an they are very reliable an can sound rlly good an there good on gas so its a win win
I have an 02 with the 3.8 and it had a really bad rod knock, I tried putting a hole in the block but it just wouldn’t happen. I got the crank to snap in half still ran and drove
Im doing a 3.8L build with a supercoupe top end to supercharge it ;) hoepfully it works out I also got a 4.2 top end that bolts onto the block of mine cause I got an sn95.
My 04 3.9l v6 had coldintake and flowmaster 40s dual exhaust make about 9 or 10% horsepower. Im planning to get a sct x4 tuner with 91 octane. Make 15 or 17% more horsepower
@@OverDriveMed But you have a lot of douchebags who try to think they are. They’re honestly the worst, “yeah bro *snorts I bought a v6 mustang. Cheaper and all I need is a supercharger to destroy your GT *snorts hurhurhur”
@@OverDriveMed Yeah but why waste soooo much money on it? In the end it’s a v6 and v6 mustangs sound awful. Just put all that extra money into a v8 and make it into a monster I just know this and been there done that, because I used to build my 04 v6. Total waste of $$$ I’ll never get back
