2010 FORD Mustang 4.6L V8 Engine
The 4.6-liter three-valve V8 engine for New 2010 Mustang benefits from horsepower gains (up to the present 315hp with 325 lb.-ft. of torque) achieved by the addition of a cold-air induction system pioneered through Ford Racing Technology. The intake is tucked behind the driver-side headlamp, mounted in an air box that’s specific to the Mustang. Extensive sealing modifications ensure cold air from the front of the Mustang feed the engine. The redline for the V8 engine is increased 250 rpm to 6,500 for 2010, and revised calibration ensures the customer fully feels these changes. What’s more, the 4.6-liter, three-valve SOHC V-8 engine is the most-accessorized engine in the marketplace. The engine is mated to a smooth-moving standard five-speed manual transmission. A responsive, tight, five-speed automatic transmission is also available.
Uh, no, a v6 wouldn't even come close to the mustang gt. You're forgetting that the mustang is over 300 pounds lighter. But nice try anyways...
Camaro v6 runs quarter mile in 14.4 seconds at 98.3 mph.
Mustang gt runs quarter mile in 13.5 seconds at 104.2mph
