I have just come back from a week long trip to L.A. Went rented a brand new V.6 Mustang with just 5k on the clock.
I drove the car a hell of a lot in the week as i'm geuinely interested in getting one of these.
But the V.6 was a collosal dissapointment. I wouldnt buy a V.6 anyway but i did expect it to have a bit of grunt. You can imagine my dissapointment to discover this 4.0 engine is nowhere near a quick as my 1.8T, 150bhp Audi A.6 or my 40 year old 302 GT Fatsback. Whats going on here, how can such a big, modern engine, with apparently 200bhp be so slow from standstill. Ok when you get it going its ok, but from the lights, it just has no pulling power.
So, V.8 owners, will the V.8 dissapoint or is there a significant difference in power?
