I Must be old, because I still think it needs 8 cylinders...

But hats off to the fuel efficiency. Just wish they wouldn't put v6's in mustangs.

Except the new V6 for the 2011+ models makes more power than many of the=20 classic V8's, especially if you adjust between the old gross and newer=20 net/certified.

I think the only reason they did this was a knee jerk reaction to the high HP v6 in the camaro and its surging sales. Its the 60's all over again in a small way.

The 2011 Mustang V6 has more HP than then 2010 V8, but the 2011 V8 is up to

415 HP with BETTER fuel mileage as well
