2011 Mustang 3.7l- 300hp to the Wheels

[RustyRodder]

That's great new's. A few 2010 Camaro SS L99's have dynoed in the 290's. I would love to see this V6 beat up on on a stock SS L99.

I would hope it would beat up the 260-powered 90's caprices....




Makes me pretty damn sad to see how obselete mine is today- Lets hope equal power and 500lbs less is enough to keep up!

Well, at least 2V's sound way better and the model years they came in look a lot better. Still can't like the sound of a V6 but can't argue with the performance.

So these cars put down 260rwhp/240rwtq stock (from the searches Ive done)....and this car makes an additional 33rwhp/36rwtq with just a CAI, axle-back, and a tune? Not even 03-04 Cobras made that much with those mods......

Why is it so unimaginable that this car could be beat by a 2v? I dont think most of these running around will be making 300whp, the avarage v6 driver wont be modded like that. I see bolt on 2v's beating the 05-09 GT's all the time, done it myself. A bolt on 2v with gears(which is almost every 2v out there) should be able to pull one of these in stock trim no problem, even with a average driver, dont see why thats hard to believe?

Good thing I am selling my Cobra

Nearly every V12 I have ever heard sounds like a six, a high winding six, but a six none the less.
So you could say that the high winding Ford 3.7 V6 sounds like a high winding V12.

For sure all the five cylinders I have heard(Audi/Volvo) sound an awful lot like Viper V10s.

I think it sounds GREAT!
I can only imagine the wail with a CAI, cat back, off road pipe and a PROCHARGER!!! People(and COPS) will be snapping necks and wondering where the hell the Ferrari is that just flew by. And all they will see is the back of a nondescript Mustang... "nope couldn't be that";-)

I agree, a 2v does sound better... not to mention, im stuck on the new edge look because that is what I grew up with...

But It's awesome that Ford finally caught up with current V6 technology

What was the baseline for this car

That's great new's. A few 2010 Camaro SS L99's have dynoed in the 290's. I would love to see this V6 beat up on on a stock SS L99.

Beside not knowing anything about that particular dyno run, something must have been very wrong if a car is losing >25% of it's power, because that's a good 40hp from the norm.

 

[svtsmo]

lol, 2V's beware? there's some N/A 4V's putting down those kind of ponies with similar mods. as it is, these sixers are high 13's from the factory

 

[2002c5coupe]

That is more than my supercharged 2003 GT. 2V 4.6's are junk.

 

[bull3441]

i still don't know why people use the Bama tunes. they're crap.

what kind of blower do you have? im guessing not a kb, vortech, paxton or tork teck, or procharger... :??:

 

[Fox-4]

fuuuuuuuuu Q.Q Time for a 100 shot of nitrous!

 

[black03kbcobra]

we need an eco boost mustang.

exactly!

 

[SVTContique]

Electric supercharger yo!

But seriously how do you make less than 300whp on a blown 2v?

 

[ls1eater]

Your right 03/04's dont make that much with those same mods they make much more.....My old 03 gained almost 60rwhp with intake tune exhaust....

So these cars put down 260rwhp/240rwtq stock (from the searches Ive done)....and this car makes an additional 33rwhp/36rwtq with just a CAI, axle-back, and a tune? Not even 03-04 Cobras made that much with those mods......

 

[ChiSVT]

2v owners beware? Maybe when that thing loses about 800lbs, otherwise it is very impressive and I would rock one in a heartbeat.

Dude, this thing would lay waste to a stock or close to stock 2valve. :lol:

The 2011 V6s are trapping upwards of 102mph, STOCK. If you think they need to lose 800lbs you're mistaken, without the shaker1000/premium packages they're in the low 33xxlb range.

Here is one running low 13s@107mph on 19inch street tires. Intake, exhaust, gear, stock automatic.

2valves beware? With bolt-ons these new 6s have enough to hang with N/A 4 valves and stock LSX fbodys. :banana: They're rev happy little motors that shine with aggressive gearing.

Your setup is underpowered. :dw:

I don't think that V6 Mustang sounds like a V12. :dw: But I'm not THAT familiar with the sound of a V12, sooo...

Regardless, IMO I just can't get used to the sound of a V6, only thing I just don't like about the new 2011.

However... this V6 Mustang sounds as good as they get, to me:
