And I saw a 2013-2014 Mustang that on the side it said 3.7 in the style of the 5.0 logo that's there for 5.0 cars.
And I was like, aww. Not quite.
"Let everyone know what your packing under the hood of your Pony with a set of 3.7 emblems from AmericanMuscle."

Gotta admire the honesty.

305 hp would have been unbelievable 25 years ago. We would have had 3.7 liter banners across the top of our windshields. I thought my IROC was badass with 215 hp.

I'd do it if I had a V6. I'd definitely do it if I got the new 4-cylinder.

Whatever, everyone already knows you have the 3.7 if the 5.0 badge isn't there and the 3.7 is a good engine, no shame in it.

But it's the V6 . In a pony car. It's forever the hairdresser, junior manager, and the I-want-a-young-looking-car-but-I-don't-feel-like-spending-much-money-during-my-mid-life-crisis mobile. Forever.

I disagree. I think there is a distinction between a muscle car and a pony car. A pony car doesn't require a V-8 just like the original mustang didn't require a V8, those old Inline 6 motors they put in the original mustangs were fine. Plus there are plenty of young people who want a mustang but can't afford the GT, or it just simply doesn't make sense, the V6 gets 30MPG on the highway and is almost as fast to 60 as the outgoing 4.6V8. Hell the 3.7 V6 makes more power than any Foxbody Mustang or any SN95 mustang other than the SVT Cobra.

Unfortunately, They make these too... so you can show off that your car came with 105hp or less from the lot... You wont find me slapping a set of these on the fenders of my 4-banger fox anytime soon lol

U must not be very well informed, when was the last time u saw a 2.3 turbo making 105 hp?
And as a status symbol it's above the v6 and below the 5.0.
Hows ur comment valid again?
P.s. posting fron mobile sucks.
EDIT: talking bout the new one, not the trash that all came in the 80s

I'm talking about my 1993 2.3 which was the highest power rated N/A 2.3 in its 14 year run quoted at a whopping 105hp! The SVO 2.3 and some of the early 2.3 Turbos are a different story and the new one should kick ass, but the stock little N/A 2.3 is a turd with motor mounts and not an ounce of pride deserving a badge lol
Trust me, I daily drive one...

None of that matters. You can't shake that stigma.

If you're the one judging them then you're incredibly close-minded. If you're driving it and you worry that people are judging you for driving a V6 then you're incredibly insecure.

I don't care either or. I don't like Mustangs.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting anyone to reply in such a serious maner to what I thought was clearly a joke. A was taking the piss.

I wasn't aware that taking the piss out of a car made one a monumental asshole. I'll keep that in mind for the next time, bud.
Enjoy your hairdresser special.
