New and Improved!

2011 Mustang V6

 

I believe that it is safe to say that both the 2011 Mustang V6 and 5.0 are going to make all other American Pony Cars eat their dust. I’m excited about these two monsters finally hitting the road and seeing them in action with all their glory. I’m also looking forward to the day when I’ll finally have one to join all the other Enthusiasts out there in spreading the word that Mustang power houses are back.

According to Car and Driver, the 2011 Mustang V6 finishes the ¼ mile in 14.0 seconds at 104 mph and goes from 0-60 in 5.4 seconds.

While the 2011 Mustang 5.0 finishes the ¼ mile in 13.2 seconds at 109 mph and accelerates from 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. This is an improvement on both models.

Now, I respect all the other pony cars out their like the Chevy Camaro and the Dodge Challenger. They are very nice cars and they do deserve respect. So please, all the mustang enthusiasts out there, let’s not try to rub it harshly in their faces that the 2011 Mustang might be a better car. I believe that when all is said and done, all the Pony car enthusiasts will come together to talk about the 2011 Mustang. That’s what we all want anyway.

Much respect to the other Pony car fans out there!

V6 Power!

This year, the arrival of the 2010 Chevy V6 Camaro (which offers 300 hp) and the 2010 Dodge V6 Challenger with 250 hp marked a turning point in V6 muscle heritage. The V6 Mustang has always had a less provocative appeal towards mustang fans due to a variety of reasons. But mostly because of the lack in power and performance as compared to some of the other vehicles available (like the 2 mentioned above). But that is all going to change with the arrival of the 2011 Mustang V6 package.

2011 Mustang V6 Package

 The 2011 Ford Mustang V6 comes with a newly developed all-aluminum Duratec 3.7-liter DOHC Ti-VCT engine. This engine will have an output of 305 horse power and 280 ft.-lb. of torque. This new engine allows the 2011 Mustang to return with an estimated 19/30 mpg (city/highway) ratio and a 6-speed automatic transmission.  It will also feature a 6-speed manual transmission with a 18/29 mpg (city/highway) ratio. Production of the new 3.7L V6 engine for the 2011 Ford Mustang will take place at the company’s recently remodeled Cleveland Engine Plant.

The 2011 Ford Mustang V6 will also offer the choice of a Performance Package that includes  GT-based suspension and braking components, a 3:31 performance rear axle as well as an electronic stability control. This new feature of the 2011 Ford Mustang V6 compromises a great sport setting for the vehicle that is ready for track use.
