"Its a V6 thing"

I think the SS is awesome and I congratulate you on your upgrade..that is fantastic if it makes you happy and it isn't dinging your pocket book too much. In that case I say go for it!

As for those who say they've only added a grand or two total in the upgrade to a brand new SS...I just don't believe it and neither should you. Expect to take a big hit unless you go with a used SS which will help a lot.

Many V6 owners (myself included) are just as satisfied with seeing what we can do with the little engine. People expect a V8 to be fast. They don't expect a V6 to be that fast and so when we make it into a suprisingly quick machine thats just as full-filling to me. I have zero desire to upgrade.

One person on here said something about no V6 ever pulling up along-side a Z06 and having a chance to win. We don't care about that. Mustang V6ers are literally a tenth away from being into the 12's N/A and we are working on low 13s. If you can't appreciate that then you aren't a true enthusiast.
