      The Cyclone doesn't have reliability issues. And whatever issues it has, doesn't matter when it makes 100 more hp with less displacement. The 4.0 is a slug compared to the Cyclone. It's a good engine for high school and college girls because it's so weak there's less chance they'll wrap it around a tree.

      @@AdmiralRustyShackleford I love my 3.7, but it is becoming a slow car too. The new mustang is always getting faster in the last two decades. It's awasome! Race as a type of sport, it challenges people, not the car. Any car can be a racing car if you put a racing driver behind the wheel. People should take it easy, and try to keep these beautiful mustangs as one piece, so the future generations still can get chance to enjoy them.

    Don't waste your money buying performance bolt ons for a V6. For the same outlay you could buy a stock GT and still be way ahead performance-wise. Even a turbo V6 will only just equal a GT equipped with only a CAI & tune.
    The only real advantages of the V6 are lower insurance, lower vehicle taxes (Europe), lower price, and less weight. Gas mileage isn't that much better to be a game changer (unless you romp the GT gas pedal to hear that V8 sing), and the GT is equally as reliable.
    If you're going to buy a V6, get one that's rust free with good paint, and enjoy it for what it is. In the meantime, start looking for a wrecked '11-14 GT to buy from a salvage auction to use as a donor car for a Coyote swap (plus many other parts) project. Then you can rescue two ponies (V6 bodyshell & Coyote GT mechanicals/interior) to build your dream Mustang.

It's fun to drive with 210 HP. If he was talking about a 1994 to 1998 mustang GT you guys wouldn't be complaining but yet that car only had 210 HP as well. Smfh why can't we all just like mustangs period? Besides we all know it's not always about HP. And btw I race my V6 and I never find myself wishing I had a V8 but that's just me. Do better guys. We all want the same thing. Not to mention Shelby built a 08 V6 terlingua Mustang. If he thought it was worth his time, you should too cause it destroyed V8s.

    I have had my 2009 v6 since 2011. I never wanted it but wife did so we bought it. I have replaced the both hvac blend doors, transmission, 2 clutches, the thermostat housing like 3x, a lifter, a water pump, radiator, the starter 2x, both front calipers, and today I went out and the driver side rear caliper is locked up and I have had to replace the driver seat because of the wear on it but honestly I have about 180k miles and it still starts everytime just needs small repairs every once in awhile.

    You could split the line with a 2010 V6 Mustang since it has the 4.0 with the newer styling, but 2011 was the start of the 300hp 3.7 V6

I just would not be able to bring myself to get a V6 Mustang. because I just like the whole thing of having eight cylinders.

  • @perryphillips8424
    @perryphillips8424 5 років тому

    4.0 did not come with an optional 6speed. Also 0-60 demonstration was a gt. V6 did not have the kind of instrumented cluster. Throwing a turbo in a v6 will make a difference but will severely damage the engine in the long run. There isnt enough upgrades to the 4.0 that would make that model a long term car to have. Could do the 5.0 swap but....might as well buy a gt if your not swapping it yourself. V6 great daily driver can handle itself perfectly but want more power maybe comp cams. Save your money a little longer buy a gt in decent condition for 5-7k buy a 5.0 salvaged coyote engine for 4I with 40000 mi. Done. Buy a gt with 130000 mi still looking at 8-9k see where the savings are.

      one word: Terlingua. A 2007 Shelby Terlingua (stage 2) was a supercharged 4.0 Mustang that made 370hp. No joke, look it up, it literally just had a Vortech/Paxton supercharger and dual exhaust (among other mods like supsension and brakes), and was meant to be a way of giving V6 Mustang owners hope of having a fun Mustang without having to get a GT. Then Ford did it themselves in 2011 with the 3.7, but the Terlingua was still faster than that. In terms of stock Mustangs, only the 5.0 Coyote was faster than a Stage 2 Terlingua

    I have bolt on mods and suspension mods, 91 oct tune and 100 shot wet Nitrous system.
    The 4.0 and 3.7 are good reliable platforms the 4.0 is limited in the aftermarket world in comparison to the 3.7
    But the 4.0 is a cast iron block and can handle boost very well.
    The 4.0 is amazing in the sense that carrol shelby had released a Shelby CS6 4.0 V6

  • @kristophermartinez6928
    @kristophermartinez6928 5 років тому

    There’s nothing reliable about the 4.0, because once that third timing chain gives out the motor is coming out, the 4.6 3 valve is bad as well with the phaser problems but that is owner neglect with the oil changes so it can be prevented. But those 4.0s aren’t the guides and tensioners will give out at one point and then that 2 or 4 grand u spent on buying the car will go up another grand or so if u take it to a shop and swapping the motor isnt easy since the rangers and explorers that had the 4.0 and also had 4x4 have a fourth chain on the vary bottom. It’s better to stay away from the 4.0 save more and get a 4.6 if u want the first gen s197 but understand what ur getting into don’t just jump into it.

(Probably spend around 5-7k good condition V6 Stang.) If you like it and money isn’t an issue go for the GT.
