Maybe a troll, maybe not but at the end of the day, I don't think he would have listened.
I had a 99 V6 and I put a lot of suspension work into it to make it turn. I was going to do a V8 swap because no amount of go fast parts were going to make that motor perform the same as a V8 swap. Too bad I got smacked up and totaled. I really liked tat car. My 03 Mach 1 is a lot more fun though =)

And at the end of the day, is still worth something after you're done with it. IMO, the value of a V6 Mustang only goes down when you modify it.
Wanted to see how far this conversation would go on a v6 forum thread. truth is I dont own a v6. My main point was to see how the community would act more towards the truck issue and seeing how the community reacted to new members. I actually own a 2008 4.8L GT Mustang. My third Mustang, and favorite one so far. My name is Paul Johnson and I'm 38 years old, Mustang enthusiast and general car fanatic. Please don't take my thread to heart. It's just I've gone through many forum sights seeing the available knowledge people have to offer. Im ok impressed with this sight but have seen better in the past. If I had insight for a v6 upgrade to racing, your gonna need some serious firepower, along with some serious cash. Now I do realize being an 18 year old your probably looking to get out of high school and moving to college. Which means even more money. My advice, stick with some low end performance mods, and deck out the car to your liking, it's your first one and should love it just how it is. a little shout out to Brady's 2003GT, he had an excellent response for this thread. Thank-you for your time gentlemen and good luck on your cars in the future.

Oh look everybody, a sociologist. Doing tests and judging us from his high horse.
Super glad this forum meets your approval.
You're either a kid back pedaling for asking a question then being embarrassed by the responses or you're "Paul Johnson", the judge and social scientist nobody asked for, whose relegated his field of research to mustang forum community. Do you feel like an undercover investigator looking into the seedy underbelly of guys who mess with cars? Did you notice this particular sub forum is dedicated to 4.6L modular mustang while doing your exhaustive research? There is another sub forum dedicated to v6ers on this site. Quit screwing around
I've been on these boards for nearing 10 years. Sometimes you get the answer you need. Sometimes you're not going to like it.
Oh and I've been testing this place since joining too. My real name is "Jack Jackson". Enjoy your 4.8L 2008 GT. Must be one of those really limited edition engine options.
Dude has got me rolling over here.

Yeah whatever.
Here's the bottom line to making your experience on Stangnet a good one.
Are you ready? Pay close attention, this is important.
Make each of your posts, threads/questions specifically about the car and not about you.
Follow that tip and all will be well.

Wow....so much for that I guess
. I guess if you also noticed Im not sitting from a high horse. If you noticed in my thread, I said I was a Mustang and car fanatic. I'm not trying to impede on anybody, I was just trying to see how the community was for asking questions was all, no harm from it really. It's really awesome how you've been on the forums for almost 10 years, thanks for giving this community so much helpful insight.
And yes I did kind of get that feeling you weren't in the area out of 4.6L considering you didn't really respond to the first thread over 3.8L. Again not looking down on anybody because I'm on the same level here as everyone else, all I'm saying is if this were an actual thread question...you potentially could've driven a new Mustang owner out of looking into more Mustangs. A helpful community can lead to so much greater things.

Well, since we're all being honest here. There is asking a question(s) with a genuine interest in learning and there's approaching the topic like a pretentious, know it all teenager. You chose to explore the latter with your little social experiment, which is why you earned the backlash you did. The vast majority of membership here is over the age of 30 and quite frankly don't have the patience for nonsense kids that would rather argue and regale you with what they think they know, instead of following the advice they've been given by the ones that have "been there" and "done that". Had you been more mature with your approach, you probably would have been met with more useful feedback. So, while you may have "seen better" than this site in the past....I assured you, we've been judged by better as well.

Actually I think getting mad about a so called social experiment and reacting negatively is a bad way to go. It tends to show anger and that might suggest to someone that you feel like you were suckered. Think the best response is laugh it off.
Hey Paul, that was a funny way to test out the forum. I got a kick out of it. The internet is a place for thin skin, you will see it no matter what forum you go to.
BTW, do you have a 4.8L or a 4.6L? Was that a typo or you got something else going on under the hood?

Consider the reputation of this site before you go offering your unsolicited advice...StangNet's been around for nearly 20 years now (jeezus, I can't believe it's been that long...), has over 173,000 members, and there's really no sign of slowing down.
One can receive great advice from the community here...it is a helpful community. I've got some great help from here in the past. Everyday, people seek and receive great advice here. And it's all about being respectful, on both sides. When someone comes in here and tries to counter the provided advice in a hostile way, the community will turn their backs on them. This little "experiment" of your's was unwarranted and you'll be leaving a bad taste due to this entire thread.
Thanks for your investigation but at the end of it all, this will largely be forgotten.

Again it wasn't meant to be an investigation, but for myself to get help if I have any, I like to seek out a little knowledge of the forum members. Sometimes the best way to get to the top is to get under people skin. I know it's a really bad way to go at things but as you've seen I was able to talk to a member who's been on this site for 10 years now and is a board member. Thats pretty close to the top if I had to say so. Again not an investigation, I guess you could call it an experiment, but only for my own knowledge, this type of stuff doesn't doesn't go further then this thread.
Also sorry for the confusion, it's a 4.6L Heh heh

How about you try again with another account and less BS. Or don't... doesn't matter to me. This particular brand of drama can be found on facebook, not here. bai
I'll assume you're talking about myself or Noobz? I hope you aren't using this to gauge your experiments success? If you'll look our past post history, we interact and offer advice/direction/my .02 indiscriminately to all members. Not to mention, it's part of our duty's as staff members to review threads from new members.
If you really want to know what got people into your thread, it was the way it was titled. "Sooo....Now what" is a pretty non descript and titilating thread title, that's just alluring enough for members to poke their head in and take a look. That's 50% of the battle right there.
The rest was an attempted education session, followed by the drama you created with your response....and who doesn't like a good drama, right. So while this may have simply been a social experiment for you....I can't say it was a very creative one. It was essentially the equivalent of planting a $20 bill on the sidewalk and see how many passers by would pick it up. You weren't exactly betting on a long shot here.
