Why does /o/ hate the 2015-2017 V6 mustang?

>300+hp(Around the same as the 4.6 V8)
>N/A Coupe
>RWD
>3500lbs (not terribly overweight like its V8 and Egoboost counterpart)
>Good exhaust note
>0-60 5.4 secs (Around same as the SN95 4.6 V8)
>Healthy Aftermarket
>Good looks
>Cheaper to insure, maintain and fill up

All of this can be had for around $16,000 for a lightly used example, why is this gay?
>>
Because a 300hp v8 model used is cheaper still and has way more room to grow. If you want a v6 sports car get a 370z. Part of the mustang experience is the v8.
>>
>>17347030
So literally

>MUH VEE ATE
>>
>>17347036
If you haven't driven one you won't get it. They're nothing special, just a larger sporty-ish coupe with the v6. The whole point is an affordable v8.
>>
>>17347055
I've heard v6's sound like shit so yeah I get your point honestly
>>
>>17347068
>V6's Sound like shit

Are u high? there are tons of cars with V6 engines that have godly exhaust notes.
>>
>>17347078
The mustang's v6 isn't one of them. 90 degree IIRC. More so it's just that the v8 option exists, might as well get it. Put an exhaust system like a Magnaflow bolt-together set on them and you'll crack a smile just starting it up.
>>
The Mustang V6 is for rental car fleets. Get a Camaro if you must have a V6, since it makes more power and has a decent redline, and is in a lighter car. Also you can get a track package (1LE) while you can't get the Performance pack with the V6.
>>
>>17347021
>300+hp(Around the same as the 4.6 V8)
no you stupid nigger, it has ONLY 300 CRANK horsepower. it has even less when you put it on a dyno. the 4.6 veeeight from ford has 315 crank horsepower.

>N/A Coupe
what the fuck does this even mean. a v8 mustang is also an n/a coupe, it's also infinitely better than your v6 trash

>RWD
veesix fags this btfo they use """muh rwd""" to try to justify veesix trashstangs

>3500lbs (not terribly overweight like its V8 and Egoboost counterpart)
the veeeight mustang has a weight to power ratio of 8.517 (3705/435)
your veesix trash has a weight to power ratio of 11.753 (3526/300)
the veeeight is heavier but still shits on your anemic pile of 6 cylinder garbage

>Good exhaust note
HAHAHAHAHAHAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>0-60 5.4 secs (Around same as the SN95 4.6 V8)
the 2010 veeeight mustang does it in 4.9 seconds.
kill yourself

>Healthy Aftermarket
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>Good looks
lmao autistic poser doesn't want performance but he wants to look cool

>Cheaper to insure, maintain and fill up
if you can't afford a real muscle car go back to your $3k shitbox civic

>daily reminder pic related is the only muscle car ever built with a v6 that isn't trash
>>
>>17347021
It has the best NA v6.
>>
>>17347102
>90 degree IIRC
Irrelevant because the crank will be offset ground to compensate to 120 degrees. Nobody has done a straight 90 degree V6 since the Chevy 3.8 vibration monster
>>
>>17347021
Mostly because the V8 Mustang exists which means you settled for the lesser car. If the V8 didn't exist /o/ would still hate the car because it's not some 80's shitbox so they can't afford it.

First of the ecoboost only weighs like 200lbs now and you can tune it to over 450hp with the FPP and a FMIC. $2000, doesn't void the warranty, and is as fast as the V8. V6 takes way more money and work to make those numbers.

>/o/ cums everywhere and starts screaming about "muh weight savings" and "muh torque" as if a turbo'd 4 cylinder is something to brag about, ever

Fucking retarded faggots, 90% of you. The V6 and Ecotoot don't compete with a 5.0L V8. If you want a GT, you're paying another $10,000 minimum. If you buy a used GT, you're buying something with HIGH mileage for the same price as a new V6/Ecotoot (though they won't be selling the V6 anymore).

You can either have a N/A V6 with good power and torque, that is decently reliable...or you can have a turbo'd version of an old Mazda engine for several thousand more, without any noticeable gains in performance.

>>
>>17347021
a mustang without an N/A V8 is not a mustang, and this is coming from a yuropoor.
I was so disapointed when I saw an ecoboost exhibited in a mall, read the specs, and practically recoiled in shock when I saw the travesty of an engine they put in it. it is literally a fake mustang for posers. it is like those retaards making a cardboard chasis of a lambo over a bicycle.
that is what a non V8 mustang is. a lie.

Then you should probably shut up Eurofag, because the first Mustangs ever made had 6 cylinder engines.

Besides, you'll never own a VEE-ATE MUSTANG, they won't sell them in your cucked vassal state. You couldn't afford the PETROL for one anyways.

>>17347607
The FPP tune alone won't get you GT performance, that's why you add on the FMIC and intake too.
>>
>>17347591

I haven't seen anyone praising the ecoboost, isn't an engine under that high stress with presumably super low tolerance for error mean that they are all likely to go bang in 7 years time?

Should also admit that I like the Toyobaru so if i was after a Mustang it would have to be the V8
>>
>>17347652

Spend any time on this board and you'll see that /o/ has a perpetual boner for the Ecotoot. It's pathetic the way they drool over that shit, especially the Fiesta and Focus STs.

And for the record, yes, these engines are likely to grenade themselves in short order. You can't take a simple aluminum block, give it direct injection, strap a cheap turbo to it, and crank up the pressure (THIS PIECE OF SHIT RUNS AT 18PSI) and expect it to last very long. Especially with the way these cars will be abused, and the lack of maintenance they'll receive (typical of most Ford owners to be negligent fuckwits).

I'm not sure that it's the same in smaller cars, but over here in Eurostan STs are nothing special and I haven't heard any horror stories

You can buy Focus 1.0 litre misery spec Ecoboosts though, that must be a grim drive. I think this is emission led though, not sue about how it would work in a Mustang (probably not very well).


I've spent a while here but haven't seen anything the Ecoboost, is it just because the majority of Americans didn't get the ST until recently?

What? I can go out and buy the proper 5.0 V8 Mustang tomorrow, our engine choices in the UK are either the Ecomisery or the V8, weirdly we don't get the V6

>>
>>17347763

I just looked up the prices for a V8 in the UK...

>34,995GBP

>$60,000CAD

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus fuck they rape you guys hard for such things.

We pay like $38,000 for a loaded GT here in Canada.

Sorry about your lot in life, dude. Try to get out of there.
>>
>>17347648
That tune comes with an intake, and a FMIC doesn't increase power at all, just helps cool your engine so you can drive harder for longer. You might get another 10 hp out of an exhaust, but that's it.

The GT also has FPP packs. One gets 457hp/424trq (muh torque) and the other gets you 472hp/405trq (muh revs), both have a warranty.
>>
>>17347797

Tbh mate it's just new cars, i'm not really interested in anything made post 2008 so it's cool, how much is 38k CAD in terms of average income in Canada? Average salary a year in uk is approx £22k in bong units

On the other hand used cars are super cheap over here as right hand rive and MPH instruments means no export market.

I do dream of emigrating but not to Canada sorry, too many non-whites and leftist sympathisers although you can have guns and lots of natural resources to you could be OK I guess
>>
>>17347832

Well it depends on the province, but in Ontario you're effectively middle class if you make anywhere from 40-70 thousand a year. Anything above that is going to upper-middle class, and typically if you're hitting 100-120 thousand, you're at the top of middle class. Higher than that is upper. Lower than 40 is liveable if you're single, but you can't have a lot of nice things.
>>
>>17347870

So a Mustang is a whole year's middle class salary? I would say £40k a year in the UK is about average middle class, so it would make sense for things to scale up from there. £100,000 a year is a huge amount of money, I'd say that was proper upper class over here

It seems that things don't quite scale up in a linear way, is Ontario posh or expensive? Is it much different in other provinces or have the Chinese and the CAD being in the toilet made no difference
>>
>>17347870
I make 42k/yr and don't feel very middle class. "Bottom of lower-middle class" maybe. The insurance rates and cell phone bills here are fucking robbery.
>>
>>17347942

Ontario is expensive but you don't get much for your money. Our sales tax is 13%, but our income tax rates are niggerish. Most people pay between 35-50% of their income to the government. That's Canada in general though - a safe place to live, but you pay through the nose for it.
>>
>>17348074

Yeah it seems like the UK until recently (thanks religion of peace) - I'm very low down on the income ladder as an under-25 living independently with an OK job, still get jewed hard for over a third of my income for bullshit, at least I don't have student debt and leave in one of the cheapest parts of the country, London must be a nightmare

Are there any decent political parties over there or is it all socialist anti-car bollocks?

No one gives a shit about the 5.0, power is cheap to make. Supercharge a 4th/5th gen for cheaper than it would be to buy a late 5th or 6th gen, and it would have considerably more power.They want the IRS and the handling that comes along with it.
>>
>>17347021
>good exhaust note
Nah you tripping
>>
>>17349355
from personal experience with the 6th gens irs and a 5th gen with just lower control arms and rear sway bars the 5th handled just fine and lost all wheel hop, its stiff like a plank of wood but like does that really matter to people buying performance orientated cars.

also man buy a 3v 4.6 for cheap yeah but it will have miles poured on it then you spend a fat chunk of change to put an edelbrock on it and make like 450-470 at like 9psi, want more power get smaller pully blow up already old and spent motor.

or get a nice car with low miles that handles well with minor modification thats relatively cheap and has much more potential, putting 415whp down n/a not a lbs of boost touching the engine.

No, it has 305hp not 300 (2011 to 2017 v6 mustang uses the same engine)

2005 to 2009 V8 has 300 HP, 2010v8 has 315 and...

ITS FUCKING SLOWER THAN A 2011 V6.

/O/ Likes the ECOBOOST better because with a tube, you can make 100hp or some shit, even though that Fisher Price engine will brake way faster than the V6 and can't make the same power as a modern v6 without forging the engine.
Plus, it needs premium gas and it actually gets worse mpgs than the V6.

Ya'll are retarded.

Even if the newer V6 makes more power than an older V8, no one is gonna respect you like they would if you owned a v8. It sounds a million times better than a v6, has more potential for mods/power gains, and is just more fun.

If you're gonna buy a v6, get a VQ not a Mustang.

You mean a 5.0 2011-2014 right? Because older gens with the 4.6 engine suck ass compared to any modern v6 Mustang.

Also the ECOBOOST is slower because it overheats.

MFW I make 71,000 a year, more than my mom and dad combined when they retired in the late 90's... and I still can't afford a Mustang GT with the rising cost of gas in Ontario thanks to Trudeau and Wynne.

If I sold it now, I can get a good 21k for it, 10,000 miles later lol.

The cyclone V6 Mustangs are undoubtedly the best, most under-rated coupe of this decade. It's a fucking shame Ford is killing them in favour of their goddamn cucked Ecotoot shitbox.

The engines are going to grenade so quickly, they'll be a blight on Ford's legacy in no time. You can't run an engine that small at high boost pressure ALL THE TIME and expect it to last very long. Say what you will about Ford "building it" properly, there's no way they did the internals properly on such a cheap port-over from the old Duratecs/MZR line.

Mazda tried this with their Speed3s with the 2.3 DISI. The end result is that most people with higher mileage Speed3's (100,000+) are having serious compression issues or needing new turbos. That is, assuming their body hasn't rotted out first.

An under-worked, larger displacement engine will always last longer and deliver more consistent performance than a bite-sized 4 cylinder running high boost.

Not everyone can afford the GT, it's considerably more expensive. You're looking at another $10-15K for a GT, and while it does sound objectively nicer, the performance gains from stock version are pretty negligible.

If we're talking strict benchracing numbers (when are we not on /o/?), you're paying about $10K minimum for less than 1 second faster at 0-60mph. A late model V6 Mustang (Cyclone) will do it in about 5.3, and a late model GT (Coyote) will do it in about 4.5.

Keep the basic numbers in mind, here. 305hp. RWD. 2 doors. Beautiful styling. Nice interior. Handles well.

For about $25,000, that's a great deal. If I had oodles of money I'd certainly get a V8 (though I'd probably get a Shelby 350), but most people aren't in the market for a $40,000 V8 as their DD.
>>
>>17353149
Actuallyu 2015 and 2016 used examples go for around $16,000
>>
>>17353247
and a 2014 GT can be had for (as I said previously) 20k used with a clean car fax in the off season.
>>
>>17353254
>19-21yr old Insurance rates are highway robbery
>More money on Gas
>Older body style
>Prices are still inflated
>Unless you floor it everyday or track it is there really a difference besides sound since the V8 is only faster when both cars are at WOT, rest of the time your just putting around town not using the power.

There is a reason the Ecoboost and the V6 sell. Not everyone needs or can afford the V8, and the V6 and ecoboost are great cars in their own respect.

Cant complain about a 300hp+ good looking coupe with RWD and N/A power.

I had a v6 previously and I would buy it just for the sound alone.

yeah its def making power up there it is hard to see because dyno graph was so short, ill need to get a dyno sheet showing full 0-7600 rpm which gives better perspective, but my point stands.

Why is a 2015 Mustang V6 coupe with 300+hp rwd NA engine that is true and tested, a 6 speed and sticky tires gay for someone with a $17k budget?

not that anyone is still on this thread but just to reply my first gear ratio goes from a 4.17:1 to a 2.31:1 the rpm drop off is from 7600 to 4500 and 2nd to 3rd is from 7600 to 5000, also with a raise in rpm my 3rd gear shift speed is raised to 115 mph which is right inline with my trap speed currently, when i procharge ill drop the 3.73 for a 3.23 or 3.15 gear and should get 130 out of 3rd gear then.

as well as only making noise when hp isnt being increased thats not how it works, there is still 400 to the wheels which is going to cause acceleration and as mention my gearing drops back pretty far in the range.
>>
>>17347021
why the fuck would you buy the v6 when theres a 300hp 4 banger
>>
>>17358908
Cheaper and you get 2 more cylinders. And its more reliable and doesnt sound like a mazda 6

because the V6 needs a fucking turbo + alot of work to get over that 350hp from the factory

the v8 litreally only needs what cams + tune

What is /o/'s obsession of having the fastest car if someone is looking for a sports coupe they can daily.

The fuck cares who has the fastest car on the block, none of you race or track everday and very rarely do any of you WOT on ur daily. I do it on occasion but not at every stoplight.

At the end of the day A V6 Mustang has plenty of power to pass retards on the highway or on any road with 300+hp on a RWD irs platform that looks good and is comfy. Its over $10,000 than a V8 amd for someone that wants a sports coupe and has a limited budget its a great car.

People need to stop taking bench racing numbers seriously and buy whatever the fuck car they like based on their budgets, needs and research. A V6 mustang is faster than over 95% of the traffic you will encounter daily so who gives a shit which car has a better 1/4.

Someone making sense on /o/? Unheard of.

Anyways yes, nevermind the V6 S550 mustang is the lightest mustang you can buy. And with a few simple bolt-ons and a nice tune with some sticky tires it is faster than 98% of the traffic you will encounter daily. (Can push 350hp easily with minimal investments)

It's beyond me why people think the ecoboost is worth the extra dollar when the V6 is cheaper, lighter and more reliable and you get 2 extra cylinders.

Both are valid options for a mustang. >New V6s aren't as shit as the old ones but still pretty shit. Good option for if you want decent stoplight racer speed but you'll hate that base model Kias have way better interiors.

Because why get that garbage when you can get the 1LE V6 Camaro if you want a V6 muscle car? It's faster than anything in it's price range on a track and also ALMOST outperforms very expsensive cars like the BMW M2 losing by less than 0.8 seconds, has a great exhaust note and overall performs fantastic.

The V6 mustang has none of these things.
