    2014 V6 Sluggish

    Yeah, to have what you really want it's a foregone conclusion that expensive is the word of the day.

    2014 V6 Sluggish

    Just out of curiosity, did you notice an appreciable decline in mileage for this kind of upgrade? Of course, if I'm going to so this, why not just make it a posi-trac rear end? Oh...

    I'll assume that it's whatever Ford put in it at Flatrock. I haven't crawled under there yet. I'll do that next chance I get. Thing is, if you're changing gears like that don't you have to replace the axles as well? Sorry if I sound like a greenhorn...it's because I am.

    Okay, I'll bite. This thread got moved. Don't understand why. Are we not supposed to talk about our S197s anymore?

    Don't I know it. That :poo:'s been going on since 1973. Honestly, it's bull and I hate it. Thank you Jimmy fricking Carter.

    I don't think the V8 will ever go away completely. The V6, however, is already gone as an option in the Mustang because of the Ecoboost 4-cyl. Personally, I don't like the Ecoboost because my experience with a 2015 Ecoboost was all eco and no boost. My V6 walked it like a dog.

    2014 V6 Sluggish

    I'm in the same boat with you imp. I've had my baby since February 2016. I've finally managed to get over being triggered by the guys who think a V6 isn't a real Mustang. A Mustang is a Mustang no matter what engine it has - and 305hp is respectable.

    Ford hood letters on a 05 Mustang

    The S197 has so much looking like the 65-66 and the style just screams Mustang that I think the less badging the better. My '14 says "Mustang" in exactly ONE place on the whole car - the dashboard on the passenger airbag cover. It also says "Ford" in exactly ONE place - on the rear medallion...

    2014 V6 Sluggish

    I've heard there are methods for tuning the 2014 V6 Cyclone so that the power band begins somewhere around 1 or 2k RPM instead of the stock 3k. Is this true? (I assume there is some truth to it because there is a forum prefix called "Digital Tuning"). Has anyone tried this? Are there some to...

    Thanks guys. I keep pretty busy most of the time so I'll post when I can and laugh a whole bunch.

    Well, that was painless (relatively). So, I'm here and no, I'm not a duplicate account for someone else who stole my handle. I was Captain Jack long before either Pirates of the Caribbean or the Doctor Who restart - albeit I've been a fan of Doctor Who since the 1980s when Mustangs were built...
