Ok guys and gals, please dont laugh.....
I've had 3 Mustangs, the last was my only v8, a 1991 5.0 lx coupe that was stolen years ago.
Now having read these threads I'm getting the itch again. So let me tap your great knowledge.
I see that the 05 v6 will put out 200hp (official but is that under-rated?) which is within 12.5% of my old 91 lx 5.0 coupe that put out 225hp (official but was that under-rated?), which would be very acceptable to me, especially if ride and handling were superior in the 05.
But what do ya'll think is the real power difference?
Where does torque fit in to the equation?
I'm a Mustang enthusiast who looks forward to going to work and running errands just for the drivin'.
I just love the drivin' experience, but I dont care about the track or strip, eventhough I have great respect for all the mods and improvements that have trickled out to the masses from what racers have brought to the stock car game.
Thanks for your valued opinions and time!
