Today, I drove a Torch Red '06 Mustang V6 Premium with the Pony Package and an automatic and was very impressed and very tempted. Having owned four new 5.0L GT/LX Mustangs during the 1980s and being the current owner of an '03 Marauder, it's unusual for me to consider anything but the most powerful engine available in a car. However, I like the V6 Pony Package's look, with its smaller driving lights and chrome trim in the grille, better than I do the GT's. While the 4.0L V6 lacked the deep, throaty V8 roar, it had a nice quiet rumble and its acceleration was very respectable. I've read that late-model V6 Mustangs return 0-60 times in 6.9 seconds and the quarter mile in the low 15s, which is right there with the powerful 5.0 Mustangs from the '80s and my stock Marauder.
My questions are:
1. Is there a high-performance chip available for 2006 V6/automatic models?
2. If so, what kind of improvements can be expected with it?
3. If anyone here has installed an aftermarket exhaust on a V6 model that sounds good, what brand/model muffler did you use?
