2011 Mustang V6 Road Test at TheMustangNews

[MustangOne]

What once was the low man on the totem pole is no more. The Mustang that was often called rental grade is gone. For 2011, Ford has moved the entry level Mustang V6 up about seven notches on the coolness scale. This new 2011 Mustang V6 is so good, we almost feel pity for dealers still trying to sell the 2010 4.0 liter models when the new ones begin to arrive later this spring. They had better be blowing them all out right now.

Glowing statements? Yes. But the new 305hp 3.7 liter DOHC V6 that powers the 2011 Mustang is only part of the story. Yes its power is alluring and its sonorous sounds emotionally engaging. It’s the total package that really brings America’s favorite pony to a full gallop from a leisurely canter.

This week we had the chance to take the 2011 Mustang V6 for a spirited ride into the curves and hills of Southern California’s coastal motorways as well as push it hard through the orange cones of an auto-cross course. Driving examples equipped with both Ford’s new six-speed automatic and standard six-speed manual gave a well rounded experience that did not disappoint.

To get the big news first, Mustang’s new 3.7 liter V6 with twin independent variable cam timing (TiVCT) has a very sporting growl under hood and an exhaust note that will impress anyone with a Nissan 370Z or BMW 3-Series. Now with standard dual exhaust and two seriously large chrome tips, the look matches the sound. The rear end speaks a serious performance message that no Mustang V6 has ever spoken.

this would be a better upgrade for a motor than making the 3.8l a 4.2l
