Q: Mustang V6?
Why are Mustang V6’s so slow? I drive an Altima SE-R and I smoke them on a regular basis. Just wondering why they have such a lack of power.
yes, but they weigh about the same, and the Mustang has a 4.0 vs. my 3.5 engine. Once again, why the big difference in performance? The Mustang has RWD, so that should help from a dig.
BTW – I’m not trying to be cocky or anything… If a stupid high school kid pulls up next to me in his V6 Stang and wants to race, I’ll race them.
I am trying to compare apples to apples here. V6 vs. V6.

A: Because anyone who buys a V6 mustang and not a V8 (like its supposed to be) needs to be humiliated any chance possible! So thanks for showing them why they should have bought a real car!

Q: Mustang v6???
Should insurence for a 16 year old be more cheaper with a v6 since it dont go that fast???

A: Yes, but it depends on a few things. Have you taken a drivers ed course? That will help establish you as a safe driver. Do you make good grades? There’s usually a “good student” discount from most companies. I’d shop around since most insurance companies are wanting new business (you’ll have to go under your parents’ policy) but I’ve seen significant savings when you get a V6 Mustang instead of a GT.

Q: Is there anyway to convert a 2005 mustang V6 to run on ethanol?
I have a 2005 mustang V6 and as far as i know they aren’t supposed to use E85 or any other type of ethanol. So, is there anyway to convert them to run on it? I want to do it because E85 is almost a dollar cheaper than regular around here.

A: most newer cars are easy. It requires a computer tune to add the right amount of fuel, and sometimes bigger injectors to be able to meet that demand. But as far as conversion parts most will only need a new fuel filter, because the fuel lines, pump, and tank are already abe to handle oxygenated fuels(10%ethanol) This does not make it a flex-fuel vehicle, because it doesn’t have a sensor to determine the ratio of fuels, and a computer tune able to adjust to any ratio between 10-85%.

Q: What is a good estimate of the cost of insurance for a Mustang V6?
I am 16 and I have been looking at a manual transmission V6 Mustang for the past couple of years. I have looked around and I am aware of the typical prices that are being sold. I’m trying to focus on the 2007-2010 versions. The 2010 V6 Mustang is the version that has really caught my eye. I need to know how much I should expect to spend/save. Thank You.

A: at 16, the insurance on a 2010 Mustang is going to be about 3 times the amount of your car payment. any newer car like this will have extremely high insurance costs for someone your age, it doesn’t matter if it’s a Mustang or a Chevy Aveo. look dude, you’re young and there’s no point in dropping this kind of cash on a car at your age. you or your parents are going to be making payments for years to come, and it’s only the V6 version. it’s seriously not worth it at all, find something older.

Q: What engines can be swapped for a V6 in a 2001 Ford Mustang with little or no modification?
I have a 2001 For mustang V6. I know you can stick almost any engine in it with the right kind of modifications. I was wondering what engines I could swap that would require the least work and money. I was hoping to put a V8 in it. I want to go upwards of 300 horsepower. Any answers would be appreciated.

A: I’m not a ford guy, this is just from what i’ve heard, but the easiest would be the 4.6 v8. The 2 valve single cam version swap should be easy with a donor motor and wiring. don’t forget the ECU. You could go with a 4 valve dual cam v8 from the cobra or earlier mark VIII, but this motor would probably need drivetrain modifications due to the increase in power over stock v6 components. These are both ford motors and should swap in with the least amount of modifications to existing chassis components.

Q: what do I need to turn my 2000 v6 mustang into a cobra?
I have a 2000 mustang V6 that I want to turn into a cobra. Yes I know it will be cheaper to buy a cobra, and my vin will still say v6. I know all of that. I just need to know what parts I need to make it a cobra. I already have a new engine for it, and will soon get the transmission.

A: You will need the DOHC 4.6L
You will need a TR-3650 transmission
You will need a new clutch
You will need a new driveshaft
You will need the IRS setup from a Cobra
You will need the cobra springs
You will need the cobra struts/shocks
You will need the center 8.8 inch section from a Cobra
You will need the Cobra brakes
You will need the Cobra gauges
You will need the Cobra wheels
You will need new tires
You will need a new exhaust
You will need a new radiator
You will need the cobra spoiler
You will need the cobra from fascia
You will need the cobra fog lights
You will need the cobra seats
You will need the cobra hood
You will need to get everything painted as well

You might new new accessories (AC compressor, power steering pump,alternator,etc.)

I’m sure there are plenty of things I left out.

Q: how do i make my 2000 v6 automatic mustang faster?
I have a 00 mustang v6 automatic. Any suggestions on how to make it faster?? Anyone that knows how to?

A: Yeah but if you put nos into a stock v6 or v8 without getting the heads and pistons changed, there goes your engine. What i reccomend doing is buying a supercharger or a blower installing that, then going from there with cheaper upgrades (flowmaster exhaust, cold air intake, bigger cam, longtube headers) then once you get what you want, then spend the big bucks and get your pistons redone then you can install a NOS kit.

Q: What are some ways to make my mustang 1999 V6 go faster?
I have a 1999 ford mustang V6. I want to make it faster, i already have an K&N cold air intake on it. What are some other things to make it faster?

A: How much money do you want to spend? You can make anything go fast if you have the money. Replace the intake manifold, cam, Heads, Fuel injection, fuel pump, computer, gear box, Rear end, and exhaust manifolds with High performing parts. Have the bottom end rebuilt with high compression pistons and have it balanced and blue print the block. You can pick up after market turbo kits or super charger kits. But they all will take money. So a lot of it depends on what you want to spend and how fast you want to go. Keep in mind that too many modifications will make the car no longer street legal. So watch what modifications you make. As long as you can pass the smog tests in your state your fine with the modification.

Q: What gear ratio should I get for my 2000 Mustang v6?
I have a 2000 Ford Mustang v6 automatic with over-drive. I found about 6 different gears I could get for the 7.5″ differential. I was wondering which one was the best for quickness off the line and/or overall performance for normal street use and highway use. 3.08, 3.27, 3.45, 3.73, 4.10, and 4.56 are the ones I have found.

A: I get this question a lot. The first thing I ask in return is what they plan to do with the car. You have supplied me with what I need to know and I can tell you that the 3.73 will be your best choice. It will give you the initial acceleration that you desire, but it will also leave your highway cruising speed relatively untouched. This is good for two reasons, you will get out of the hole quicker and when you get to cruising speed, you won’t be running 5000rpm at 70mphs.
I would suggest something like the Motive Performance Plus gears:

Along with that you will want to order a bearing kit, so you can have all the gaskets, shims, bearings, etc. that you will need to replace while you are in the rear end. That kit can be found here:

Hope this helps, Good luck!

Q: How could you make a regular v6 mustang accelerate and go probably as fast as a mustang GT?
i bought a ford mustang v6 and im not happy with its performance. i want to try to fix it up so it could be a muscle and a raceing car. so if any one know how i would appreciate it.

A: Sell the V6, buy the GT.

Q: How do I put the starter back on my mother’s 2000 Mustang V6?
How do I put the starter back on my mother’s 2000 Mustang V6?
A friend of mine came over and took the starter off of her 2000 Mustang and didn’t put it back on before he left. How can I put it back on?

A: Mustang’s are petty easy. disconnect the battery, jack the car up, put the starter back in and then the two bolts. reconnect the black ground cable to the engine/transmission(if disconnected) and reconnect the wires to the starter (red to big nut and red/pink or brown/pink to small nut). replace th plastic cap over the wires on the starter, lower the vehicle, reconnect the battery and start the vehicle. Should take you no more than an hour.

Q: Requirements to make supercharged mustang v6 safe?
Hey I’m planning on supercharging my 2007 mustang v6 in a few weeks. Obviously I’ll need to tune the car afterward, but as far as safety goes i need help figuring out what changes are necessary to ensure that the car won’t fall apart at 130 or 140 mph. If anyone could tell me what aftermarket upgrades I’ll need, i would appreciate it very much.

Thanks, Joe.

A: - Rebuild the engine with stronger internals to deal with the higher pressures.
- Upgraded cooling sytem to deal with all the extra heat.
- Upgraded transmission to deal with the extra power.
- New ECU to deal with all the new stuff you added and for tuning.
- Better brakes to deal with a faster car.
- Your car will still be limited to approx. 110 unless you tuner can remove that.
- The V6 models are limited to such a low top speed due to instability above 110 mph caused by soft suspension, lift, and tire ratings. You will want to upgrade everything.
- A stronger rear axle from the Mustang GT or aftermarket to deal with the increased power.

Why didn’t you just get a Mustang GT? Its going to be just as fast, cheaper, more reliable, have some resale value, and still have a full warranty.

Where are you going to do 130 mph? There is no way you will get up to those speeds on a drag strip.

Q: How much horsepower will flowmaster dual exhaust and k&n cold air intake give me on an 01 mustang v6?
I have an 01 Mustang v6 and was wondering how much horsepower these mods will give me. It has 193 hp stock.

A: to the wheels probably 10 hp

Q: Price to install dual exhaust on a 2007 mustang v6?
Hi, I’m planning on converting my 2007 mustang v6 to dual exhaust and running the Ford Racing Performance Parts Exhaust system. Does anyone know how much it will cost to have this part installed and what it will cost to have my bumper trimmed?

Thanks, Joe.

A: Sorry to be off topic; but;
I would stay away from the frpp pack just mainly due to the price. theres a ton of forums for mustangs that I could lead you to selling all the compnents used and cheap from modded gt’s. I would be looking to do this install myself if I got the kit.
I modded my 06 gt myself. It would have been much easier if I had a lift. But I just drove up on some wood in the garage and took my time over a day and a half, just doing little by little and finished. Took off my axlebacks and worked my way up to my stock manifolds. Installed an offroad h, to the factory mids, and finished with the frpp stinger ab’s. Tips are a little tricky to get to line up. I had to adjust my midpipe clamps many times and get someone to hols my tips in place while I tightened.

Q: Is there a way to make my v6 mustang sound close to a v8?
I have a 2007 Mustang V6 and I have put the true dual Flowmaster 44 series pipes on it and it sounds a Little ricey. Is there an Aftermarket cam that will go on my V6 I cant find one anywere and would that make The riceyness go away.

A: frankly, no
