(2005-2008) 4.0 V6 Mustang vs Camaro V6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

UT-Engineer · 06-30-2011, 01:54 PM

So the guy 5 houses down from me has what looks to be a (2005-2008)4.0L V6 Mustang. Sounds like he has an exhasut system and CAI possibly as well. I did some seacrhing and found that "The 2005-2008 Mustang V6 comes from the factory with 210 horsepower and 254 lb./ft. of torque. but it can be supercharged to 290 horsepower and 294 lb./ft. of torque. in a 1/4 mile who would win? seems like a stock v6 can easily keep up with a S/C 4.0.

PoorMansCamaro · 06-30-2011, 03:29 PM

it would be very close if supercharged because it's lighter, and the torque.

KungFuHamster · 06-30-2011, 03:35 PM

if he has a blower he may keep up, but otherwise you will destroy him. those cars are turds.

I was hoping this was the case. It doesnt sound like he's S/C, just the CAI and exhaust for sure. He's always giving me "that look", as he drives by my driveway.

In before the stang trolls.

KMPrenger · 06-30-2011, 06:21 PM

Hes lighter, and with a CAI/exhaust they have nice gains, but you'd still have em good when the speeds climb.

If hes supercharged...he will probably take you, or at least put up a hell of fight.

Course...thats just my guess.

Not much you can do about the weight difference, but throw in an exhaust and CAI of your own (plus say shorty headers & a tune if he does have FI). Minus the headers that's what I have, and it's gotta be good for what, ~330hp & at least 285ft-lbs at the crank? For half what he spent on his FI alone, and you'd probably beat him handily.

So in other words...IBTST.

Ummm yeah if he's got a CAI and an exhaust then it's not going to be a contest. You will

him bad.

However, that 4.0 can be modded pretty decently. SCREAMIN can answer this as he used to own this vintage. He posted a video of a turbo'd 4.0 runnin in the 12's I believe.

Fixed. I.A.T.A.T.

I swear when I googled "turd" something smelled like $#!+

Coming from a guy that owns one with a CAI/Exhaust... you will destroy him. These cars are slower than time. FI is another story... but just normal bolt ons... not even worth the gas and track entrance fee.

Going to have to agree, total slaughter. I am pretty sure those motors should have been in trucks not a Mustang. I am so glad they retired that horrid engine. I had a '98 v6 and it should have never had the Mustang name plate. I think it was slightly faster than a civic.

I honestly don't know why someone would bother super charging one. It'd be cheaper to buy a GT.

Insurance. The cost savings of insurance of owning a V6 and then buying a supercharger vs owning a GT would pay for itself. I can't seem to word that right, but you get the point.
