Gonna be getting one of your rear mount turbo kit very shortly, buying a Mustang from my late cousin in law and she would have loved to have 400+ hp in it
That sounds like an nice economic option.... Do you have to re tune the car when you buy and bolt on a super charger kit like that? Or could I just buy one and bolt it on?
David we gotta talk you are full on stealing ideas out of my head i literally spent most of the day at work yestday realizing thid same thing that the 2014 v6 mistang is the modern grand national and its amazing weird how close the specs are also i found the ford taurus sho a few days before you made the video keep up the awesome work dude #smilespergallon
Ecoboost and Cyclone stangs are lighter with better weight bias cheaper to buy cheaper to insure, but still full aftermarket support. Good daily drivers & sleepers.
I saw a kid driving his 2005-09 S197 V6 Mustang (not sure what year exactly) and no joke he had GT500 lower side stripes, Shelby trunk lettering, Cobra emblems and to top it off the faux Bullitt center gas cap. No body kit or ground effects or anything and it still had a single exhaust pipe sticking out the back.
nah no thnx the car I’m talking about was red. I’ve seen several base Mustangs with different badges and stickers on them like 5.0 badges or something. It’s hilarious.
I have a 2015 Procharger V6 mustang as well and i absolutely love mine. It is an automatic but that gives me a big advantage when it comes to racing down in Mexico, also its fun to see the look on 5.0 owners after racing them because most people are truly shocked at what a boosted V6 is capable of.
If they would’ve put this v6 in a different body and called it something else AND made it an affordable car they would’ve had a a nice entry level sports car
I think the V6 always sells out the V8 though so that would be a huge hit to their sales. A lot of dads and "Chads" wanna buy these cars to look cool and dont care about the actual power so financially it wouldn't work for any of the muscle cars
The 3.7s can actually sound pretty good too. Kind of like a less raspy 350Z. I think it’s pretty sweet. Probably has a lot better weight distribution too.
I LOVE my 3.7, which some people don't understand because of the whole "coulda had a V8" mentality in the Mustang community. That's why I love your channel, you actually give things a fair shot and focus more on the strengths of the 3.7 than weaknesses. Keep up the good work man!
Ya I had owned a 5.0 and a 3.7 and the 3.7 was honestly a fun car! People overlook it because of the V8 and the fact that a true muscle car should have a v8 but honestly if you can just overlook that one judgment then the V6 is actually a really fun car!
Yeah, the whole "Muh v8" mentality is really cancerous in the Mustang community. People always sleep on the 3.7 and 2.3 and underestimate their potential.
Not cancerous but more so a stupid mentality. I personally would have no problem with a V6, especially in manual. People just want power, as if they are really going to drag race it...
The biggest difference, and an important one, is that the grand national was a high performance version of a plain-jane car. Half of the legacy is that it was a sinister sleeper from the factory. Given that the v6 mustang ( and camaro, and challenger) are cars where a much higher performance version is available, they don’t have a sleeper effect. Its a platform built for more power, rather than a platform built for far less. Thats not to rag on boosted v6’s, but rather to say the comparison doesn’t work for me.
The true modern grand national is the 3800 w-body. Same base engine thats modernized and some come factory supercharged so the engine can handle a turbo well. Some people build them and theyre great sleepers.
having driven a boosted 3.7 mustang and owning a 4.0 mustang i would say that it is a lot of fun in those cars because most people dont see it coming when you hit it. it is a lot of fun being different. at the same time i do wish i would have started with a GT being that i could be making a lot more power with the extra two cylinders. nice video david! hope to meet you one day.
The point you made about not spinning is one reason why I’ve won so many races in the two v6 mustangs I’ve had. I’ve beaten 4.6 and 5.0s in my 4.0 and 3.7 cause they always spin and the v6 always gets 100% of its power down every time
There’s this eco boost mustang that’s always outside of my school, literally this guy has every decal on it. It also has fake rtr grill lights or whatever. And guess what, glued on 5.0 badges. It’s pretty funny.
The 3.7 was a great V6. The problem is that by the time Ford got around to making it, it was too little too late. The V6 was already shadowed and stigmatized by the bad reputation of the 3.8 and 4.0 motors. As an owner of a procharged 3.8 Id love to try the 3.7 boosted. The Ford 3.8, though a shit motor, was a better copy of the Buick design.
@@FerRod2113 I would like and have thought about. As well as videoing one of my other cars. But I dont have a camera and would want to film something better than low quality cell phone video.
I have a 2011 GT (2 cats, no mufflers). Really love the sound of that, but the boosted V6 in this video is really nice! It sounds almost exotic. The 3.7 has a governor that stops the fun at 115mph due to the driveshaft. With ~500 hp on tap, I would suggest a installing stronger driveshaft.
400HP is pretty damn respectable, regardless of displacement or number of cylinders. Very cool car! And I love the 3.7 emblem. Let them know that they were beat by a V6! LOL.
I drive a bolt on tuned 2017 GT and my previous car was a 2011 v6 mustang with a procharger pushing about 430 to the wheel. The power delivery is very very similar but the biggest difference is v6 mustangs feel extremely light compared to the V8. You could really fling the v6 around especially because I had a full suspension.
I remember when these newer V6s came out. I was very impressed how quick for a stock V6. These put Mustang v6 ownership in a whole new level of performance. So did the coyote.. :)
I had purchased an 05 4L after rolling an 89 5.0 hatch. I purchased it because I was young and my parents were scared of me having the GT after rolling my last car. (Little back story; I rolled the car after pulling it out of storage and the next day it was freezing rain) back to the point I still have that car and had alot of fun with it when it was new. I've never had to do anything major mechanically and believe it or not it was faster then my my fox 5.0 and some of the stock fox 5.0s on the street due to mostly their power loss in age. I am fixing up that car and preping it for a shelby power train swap but that 4L treated me good even though I still beat the shit out of it.
There were some turbo 2.3 Mustang Cob ras in the very early 80's before the SVO, but yeah not GT's. I recall some Mustang magazines putting underhood Paxton blowers on 82-84 GT's to get near 300 hp. Thought it couldn't get any better.
Hey david loved this one! Your review are lit as always but i noticed that views are going down and i remember that in an another video you mentioned that views are going very down and as your fan i want to suggest you to do more pov stuff with smurff and more action in general. I mean this trend is going on on every channel that it's not "commercial" in a sense and as a 2 years viewer i feel like your channel is one of the realest out here and you and alejandra are a very nice guys. Just wanted to share this thought with you man!! Sending love from italy!! Have a nice day every one😎😎
I actually have a '12 model 3.7 Stang and I was planning on putting on a procharger like the one you were driving. I just have to replace the driveshaft because I hear they do weird things at the 120+ mph zone.
@@ethanpapa3585 - Don't be one of those people?!? Dude, I'll be whatever I wish, I have no wish to drive my summer toy in the winter, I have a daily driver for winter use. During the winter if there is a nice day and no salt on the road, the Mustang goes out to stretch her legs, the way I like it. Don't be one of those people that tells others what they should do with their cars.
@@ethanpapa3585 - The Mustang isn't that special?? Why isn't it? It's special to me and millions of other people who don't daily them. I can't think of another car that I would prefer to take up garage space except the GT500 or a Super Snake.
Do they make a eco boost v6 twin turbo for the mustang like the SHO Taurus? If they don't then they should. If they did they would have a problem with ppl buying them and just tuning them to walk the 5.0. I would buy it bc you could make decent power and it would be alot less on your wallet.
I drive a 87 Grand National with some bolt ons and a chip. Maybe I’ll let you drive it once I install a new trans. Your opinion may or may not change. You’ll love the old school boosted automatic V6. Never loses boost between gear changes lol.
I had one just like this except it was a Premium and it was absolutely fantastic. Just enough power to hoon and the engine sounds great when you rev it out. Cheap to buy and cheap to mod too. I did Air raid intake, MBR Exhaust, MPT Tune, and Steeda springs all for like $1500. The problem isn't that the cyclone cars are bad, it's that the GT is just better in every way. And these days an S197 GT is really not that much more than a 3.7. If I had some extra cash I'd pick up an early S550 3.7 to hoon on backroads and a '19 GT to actually build. One thing is for certain though, no one should buy an Ecoboost Mustang under any circumstances.
@@QuickF90 The v6 driveshaft is considered an economy driveshaft. They actually can't withstand the same speeds of a GT driveshaft. I've heard of a couple instances where a v6 shaft detonated when the driver went over 120-125, before that they said they heard a very loud vibration too.
I like how hes giving v6s a chance. Im getting a v6 for a few reasons mostly because im only 19 and insurance would hang me out to dry for owning a v6, i plan on driving this car daily, and i am a little worried about having gas money on hand for a v8 but not a v6. I mean someday i do plan on upgrading to a v8 maybe in my late 20s but for now a v6 will be more than good enough especially with aftermarket items
I talked to you once in the comment section of your mustang week 2014 video asking for more content like it, but you told me that people don't want to see those kinds of videos. But look now. You have skills in videography. Show them off. If you feel stuck inside perhaps you should focus on what you did best in the first place.
You can tell you were having a blast. I am still thinking TT mine. They are both good options. I would love to drive this car too see what it feels like
I think the decision between purchasing a Coyote versus purchasing a Cyclone and boosting it depends on the difference of depreciation, and personal preference. It is entirely possible for the Cyclones to depreciate enough to make boosting one to get comparable power to a Coyote to make sense. Although If one truly prefers the sound and feel of a Coyote it would be better to stick it out and purchase the Coyote. As far as longevity I have not researched either engine very much, but from what I remember the Coyote is very reliable, and the Cyclone strikes me as being pretty reliable as well. Once boosted the longevity and integrity of any engine is sacrificed. So if you want an S550 for a short to medium amount of time, and you are ok with the sound and feel of a boosted V6 go for it. If you want the S550 and you plan on having it for more than a few years and potentially for life, it makes more sense to just purchase the Coyote. PS David: The highlights are a little eccentric but cool. Keep up the good work!
For anybody thinking about buying a mustang Yoo I’ve driven a 2000 v6 mustang with like 120k miles, no engine mods this car can only go up to 120mph I hit 120 on the dash and got that hella push back feeling it was fun af
okay short throw shifters are cool but nothing is as satisfying as a medium hard pull in a car with a long shift throw. hearing everything at higher revs then nothing for what actually feels like a really long time then more engine is the best sound i’ve ever heard. doesn’t matter the car.
Shorty headers is the key to getting these to sound good. When I deleted my cats it was insane, so I added 14 inch resonators. That with roush axlebacks made some nice tones but the shorty headers completely changed the sound for the better. I have clips on my channel if you want to see the difference
I'm not even watching the video. GN is in a league of its own. When somebody builds a common family car into something that is quicker than every American car and almost every car in the world at the time, then we'll talk.
Challenger Hellcat, Charger Hellcat, 2011-201? Chevy SS, Taurus sho. It's a common formula for manufacturers to play around with, there's nothing special about the GN besides GM somehow building a not-shit car in the 80's.
@@Daniel-lv8ze you forgot that the GNX was the first to champion that notion to make cars that are faster than just about anything out of a family car.. Not Dodge (even though that's my company), Not Chevy, Not even Ford.. *_Buick did this and without a V8 either.._*
You get a 3.7 v6 mustang, because it's lighter and more balanced for tracking and with a blower and can whip a coyote on the street. That engine is a racing engine and if stronger then the coyote block. It's the same reason people buy a 350z, light and nimble. The same can be said for the BRZ. With basic suspension mods it can out do something with double the HP when Auto crossed.
You can totally downbadge... But never upbadge! As far as buying a V6 vs a V8 it's a no brainer. You get that V8 if you have the scratch. You'll never get the sound from a 6 and that is a major selling point with me. BUT, on the flip side it is so fun having that much power in a V6. Sleeper status! Reminds me of the Ripp supercharged Challenger I reviewed. Lots of fun!
This will get some hate, but I happen to really like modern V6’s. I think they are perfect for a young or casual enthusiast, and adding boost to the mix makes them a total sleeper. A 6th gen V6 Camaro has 335 hp, that’s 20 HP more than a 4.6 mustang from 8 years ago, and with boost those cars can make 450 whp. That is enough to complete with most bolt on N/A V8s. I saw a procharged V6 run low 11s on pump gas, that’s merging onto stock Hellcat territory. Boosted V6’s are no joke. I respect the hell out of anyone with a fast V6, that goes for Mustangs, Challengers, 350Z/370Zs, G35/G37s, and especially the Camaro’s. They are not what they used to be, I consider them full on sports cars. But that’s just my 2 cents.
I owned a 2013 mustang V6, the engine genuinely had good power. Especially when tuned for 93 octane and CAI. I had 3.73 gears on mine and beat all the 2005-2010 GT's that tried to stoplight race me. Procharging it never made sense, it was like $7000 or something crazy. Plus you had to fix the exploding driveshaft issues that plagued certain years. Back in 2014, for any 2011+ cyclone V6 you could find, adding the cost of the procharger instantly had you right in GT pricerange. so it never made sense financially, unless you bought a salvage V6. Even now it would make no sense to build a procharged V6 since a used coyote could be had for the same money after its all said and done.
I have a 2011 black mustang v6 and I plan on keeping my pony car until I'm old . I'll end up retiring the mustang once I've got two more cars I do plan on boosting it later down the road
I know this thread is old already, but I just came across it. So @ThatDudeinBlue I just wanted to say thanks for this. I have a '12 Cyclone and have long debated what to do with it. Unfortunately I can nowhere near afford a Procharger, but that's my goal. AM has some good stuff and when I'm able to drop about 8 large I'm going all in. Again thanks.
Bro I've been watching you for about 5 years, and I hate to say this but you need to reinvent your channel. I feel bad seeing you not getting the views vs the ratio to the amount of subscribers you have. Tommyfyeah gets comparable views to you with about 800,000 less subscribers. I'm just merely suggesting you do something different, maybe like a daily vlog, working on new builds in those vlogs, just something different. Love yah man just wanna see you get the views I know that are there.
What people don't realize is that the V6's value is going to tank worse than the V8. Doesn't matter whether you boost it or not you're wasting money and depreciation/appreciation will never be good on a V6 Mustang.
@@blackairforceones9075 im not saying they are bad cars bro. But not everyone has the money to boost a v6. People who buy v6 and boost em do it for the Giggles cause they got a v8 or have something faster than a Coyote. Im just saying if you want to go fast and are in a budget get a v8
I mean that's fair. I had a tti turbo 98 z28. Sold it in preparation for a move. Had the 3.7 as a daily I had done a few mods to. Then decided why not let's boost the v6 mustang lol.
@@leonardo179_ not always do people have money for a V8 either tho.. I don't think most people take that into consideration.. Either that or the V8 is just a lil too much for them so they get the next best thing which happens to be better for them because it's better for everyday use with gas mileage, and such of the latter
I have a modded GT 2017 right now but had a 2011 v6 with a procharger and I honestly think my old v6 would beat my new car. I definitely beat plenty of coyotes back when I had it.
"Or do you want to be unique and beat the v8?" How about if you want to do that get an ACTUAL V6 like a Genesis (350 hp stock) or any v6 other than a MUSCLE CAR... V6's are NOT Muscle cars!!👎🌈🌈
But then you're not different. Everyone expects 6 cylinders to be in European or Japanese vehicles. People want to be different, unexpected, and proven. That's why lots of people are making sleeper 6 Mustangs now.
The old 3.8 from 99-04 (was slow) but you can’t kill them. The first car I ever bought from a dealership was a 2000 ( in 2005) v6 5 speed and I put an m90 supercharger off of a Buick and with a pulley and a tune it made 300hp at the tires. It wasn’t a monster but it was a fun car and that 3.8 took a beating and didn’t care
There will always be some disagreement within the mustang community about engine size...but in its entire history this car has had multiple options for its customers, thats whats kept it alive. thats what allows the "community" to be just that...it has allowed us to be unique and take on different challenges to make it something different from the other guy. Not having a V8 in it, shouldn't take anything away from what it really is...a piece of american history.
Lol RIP, I boosted my v6 and ran 9.88 at 138mph in the 1/4. The cyclone engine is stout and the limit on a stock block is 600+hp on e85. But once you have to build one it gets expensive fast. Building a coyote is probably cheaper and is for sure easier as parts are more readily available.
Building a coyote- and I'm speaking from experience -is about the same price but consumables when owning a coyote is a whole different thing. you won't be getting 30 miles per gallon on the highway like you do in a boosted v6 you have six spark plugs and six coils to deal with instead of 8 and a whole hell of a lot less oil.
Joshua C it’s cheaper to build a coyote, for the cyclone you have to get custom parts made because there are only two companies who have internals available and one sucks and the other is incredibly over priced. Like $2000-2500 for pistons and rings and $1500 for a set of rods... mind you that’s a set of 6. I had to have wiseco make me a custom set of pistons and it was still expensive.
It’s just very different, you’d think oh it’s 2 less cylinders consumable and the build is overall way cheaper. But that’s pretty far from the truth. The coyote has a way bigger market and way more aftermarket support. The cyclone barely has any aftermarket support. It’s just tons and tons of custom stuff you need made to build one. I even needed to get a custom torque plate made because there wasn’t a single machine shop in Houston that carried one
People dont understand that the vast majority of mustangs sold are base model V6s(now inline 4s). That enables ford to produce and sell the V8s that they do. Which is a small number by comparison. The 4 and 6 cylinder cars keep the name afloat and allows the V8 to exist. Everyone loves the V8 but most only buy the V6 which is weird, but be grateful because it lets you have your V8. Same case for the camaro.
Huge thanks to my buddy George at GMG Automotive for putting on this pro charger kit!
I got a 2014 v6 mustang and i will upgrade it with a procharger or a supercharger ... And kill all V8 hahahaha
Hey buddy. Just purchased a 2013 Roush RS. Any suggestions to improve this ride or just leave it alone?
What type of pro charger is it
That you put on this car in the video
If S550s came from factory with the twin turbo ecoboost V6 i feel people would have a hard time choosing between those and the Coyote
2JZ UL8R that’s actually why they didn’t- I asked back then why they didn’t when I was at Ford nationals one year and that was the reason!
V6 boosted for handling v8 and or boosted for drag racing
If they go through with the mustang based sedan, they should make it the flagship Lincoln and give it the ecoboost from the raptor
@@mavrick351 The EcoBoost version of the Cyclone weighs about 50 lbs more than a Coyote.
ramon tubbs like that small amount of weight really makes a difference in the handling. Tires and suspension will make the real difference.
We love the 3.7 which is why we have one at the shop and tune so many of them! They are great!
I eish i could get my 3.7 tuned by you guys so i can get your AMR swag

I have a 2011 GT (2 cats, no mufflers). Really love the sound of that, but the boosted V6 in this video is really nice! It sounds almost exotic. The 3.7 has a governor that stops the fun at 115mph due to the driveshaft. With ~500 hp on tap, I would suggest a installing stronger driveshaft.
400HP is pretty damn respectable, regardless of displacement or number of cylinders. Very cool car! And I love the 3.7 emblem. Let them know that they were beat by a V6! LOL.
I drive a bolt on tuned 2017 GT and my previous car was a 2011 v6 mustang with a procharger pushing about 430 to the wheel. The power delivery is very very similar but the biggest difference is v6 mustangs feel extremely light compared to the V8. You could really fling the v6 around especially because I had a full suspension.
I remember when these newer V6s came out. I was very impressed how quick for a stock V6. These put Mustang v6 ownership in a whole new level of performance. So did the coyote.. :)
okay now review my Grand National for comparison 😁
I just put a ProCharger in my 2016 cyclone. With sport springs, full exhaust, and a dyno tune, it's truly a speedy little beast. I love driving it!
Don’t ever disrespect a Grand National like that again.
True
Facts
He has a point tho
But the cyclone is such a good engine
Grand nationals are the equivalent of a 57 year old trailer park queen with a 3 pack a day habit and a solid lady mustache
I had purchased an 05 4L after rolling an 89 5.0 hatch. I purchased it because I was young and my parents were scared of me having the GT after rolling my last car. (Little back story; I rolled the car after pulling it out of storage and the next day it was freezing rain) back to the point I still have that car and had alot of fun with it when it was new. I've never had to do anything major mechanically and believe it or not it was faster then my my fox 5.0 and some of the stock fox 5.0s on the street due to mostly their power loss in age. I am fixing up that car and preping it for a shelby power train swap but that 4L treated me good even though I still beat the shit out of it.
You think you can find somebody that has an early 80s Ford Mustang GT Turbo I've always wanted to see you review one just to get your perspective
Foxbodies are always cool no matter what model thats why i own two lol
@@carsandquads7253 you have a factory turbo model?
@@maxxas5067 No such thing as a factory GT with a turbo. You're thinking of an SVO.
@@Sheehy223 yea that car. I couldn't remember exactly what it was called.
There were some turbo 2.3 Mustang Cob ras in the very early 80's before the SVO, but yeah not GT's. I recall some Mustang magazines putting underhood Paxton blowers on 82-84 GT's to get near 300 hp. Thought it couldn't get any better.
Hey david loved this one! Your review are lit as always but i noticed that views are going down and i remember that in an another video you mentioned that views are going very down and as your fan i want to suggest you to do more pov stuff with smurff and more action in general. I mean this trend is going on on every channel that it's not "commercial" in a sense and as a 2 years viewer i feel like your channel is one of the realest out here and you and alejandra are a very nice guys. Just wanted to share this thought with you man!! Sending love from italy!! Have a nice day every one😎😎
I own a 2012 Mustang V6 and would love to boost it
I actually have a '12 model 3.7 Stang and I was planning on putting on a procharger like the one you were driving. I just have to replace the driveshaft because I hear they do weird things at the 120+ mph zone.
they fuckin explode. please please get a one piece alum. You will not regret it if you plan on taking the gov off at any point
Now that my '18 GT is in the garage until Spring, I'm enjoying my new 400hp MKZ which is freakishly fast! I would love to own a V6 SC/Turbo Mustang.
KlipschHead281 don’t be one of those people that puts a daily driver away for winter smh
@@ethanpapa3585 - Don't be one of those people?!? Dude, I'll be whatever I wish, I have no wish to drive my summer toy in the winter, I have a daily driver for winter use. During the winter if there is a nice day and no salt on the road, the Mustang goes out to stretch her legs, the way I like it. Don't be one of those people that tells others what they should do with their cars.
KlipschHead281 I’m just saying a mustang is not anything special to keep away. My opinion tho you do you man.
@@ethanpapa3585 - The Mustang isn't that special?? Why isn't it? It's special to me and millions of other people who don't daily them. I can't think of another car that I would prefer to take up garage space except the GT500 or a Super Snake.
KlipschHead281 I mean it’s the price of a normal every day car🤷♂️ it might have sentimental value but it’s not a very special car
Do they make a eco boost v6 twin turbo for the mustang like the SHO Taurus? If they don't then they should. If they did they would have a problem with ppl buying them and just tuning them to walk the 5.0. I would buy it bc you could make decent power and it would be alot less on your wallet.
I drive a 87 Grand National with some bolt ons and a chip. Maybe I’ll let you drive it once I install a new trans. Your opinion may or may not change. You’ll love the old school boosted automatic V6. Never loses boost between gear changes lol.
The v6 with pro charger is pretty dang dope.
I had one just like this except it was a Premium and it was absolutely fantastic. Just enough power to hoon and the engine sounds great when you rev it out. Cheap to buy and cheap to mod too. I did Air raid intake, MBR Exhaust, MPT Tune, and Steeda springs all for like $1500. The problem isn't that the cyclone cars are bad, it's that the GT is just better in every way. And these days an S197 GT is really not that much more than a 3.7. If I had some extra cash I'd pick up an early S550 3.7 to hoon on backroads and a '19 GT to actually build.
One thing is for certain though, no one should buy an Ecoboost Mustang under any circumstances.
Okay but if you know anything about these cars, you have a buy an 800$ one piece driveshaft. If you don’t do that do not go over 115
been 160+ on on my factory two piece just fine multiple times
in my GT, assuming it has the same driveshaft as the V6
@@QuickF90 The v6 driveshaft is considered an economy driveshaft. They actually can't withstand the same speeds of a GT driveshaft. I've heard of a couple instances where a v6 shaft detonated when the driver went over 120-125, before that they said they heard a very loud vibration too.
Alex James why are you trying to go over 115 anyway, I wouldn’t trust any car in the same price range stock to push over 110
@@blackairforceones9075
Because it can?
I like how hes giving v6s a chance. Im getting a v6 for a few reasons mostly because im only 19 and insurance would hang me out to dry for owning a v6, i plan on driving this car daily, and i am a little worried about having gas money on hand for a v8 but not a v6. I mean someday i do plan on upgrading to a v8 maybe in my late 20s but for now a v6 will be more than good enough especially with aftermarket items
Update on the 240 drift car please!!!
The mustang came with a 6 cylinder when it first came into production if I remember correctly
My mom had 3 67's and they were all straight sixes. I grew up in those.
Someone in the Usa Needs to Experience a 4.0L Barra from the Xr6 Turbo in Australia in a Mustang ;)
I talked to you once in the comment section of your mustang week 2014 video asking for more content like it, but you told me that people don't want to see those kinds of videos. But look now.
You have skills in videography. Show them off. If you feel stuck inside perhaps you should focus on what you did best in the first place.
Love my 3.7 stang as long as we smoking them Honda’s and keeping the mustang rep good then it’s all good 🤷🏽♂️ mustang is a mustang
S197_MAX 🙌🙌🙌🙌 preach it
The 6th gen v6 pony cars are hidden gems man. The cyclone mustang, and the lgx v6 Camaro are both fun cars.
I've seen a '15 3.7 that sounds exactly like a 370z. So dope
You can tell you were having a blast. I am still thinking TT mine. They are both good options. I would love to drive this car too see what it feels like
First! star power to defend against blue shells
I think the decision between purchasing a Coyote versus purchasing a Cyclone and boosting it depends on the difference of depreciation, and personal preference. It is entirely possible for the Cyclones to depreciate enough to make boosting one to get comparable power to a Coyote to make sense. Although If one truly prefers the sound and feel of a Coyote it would be better to stick it out and purchase the Coyote.
As far as longevity I have not researched either engine very much, but from what I remember the Coyote is very reliable, and the Cyclone strikes me as being pretty reliable as well. Once boosted the longevity and integrity of any engine is sacrificed. So if you want an S550 for a short to medium amount of time, and you are ok with the sound and feel of a boosted V6 go for it. If you want the S550 and you plan on having it for more than a few years and potentially for life, it makes more sense to just purchase the Coyote.
PS David: The highlights are a little eccentric but cool. Keep up the good work!
I could only afford the v6 and I'm planning on saving 4 a supeecharger
Thanks for the fun day David, video turned out great! Funny as hell to see my car on the TH-cams
Dillon Jett how much boost and whp are you pushing?
i wonder if ford will ever make an fwd inline 4 mustang
That's called the probe
I hope not LOL
Pony cars are not FWD lmao.. that’s why they make the focus
@@jakethesnake121394 did make the focus. Not anymore
Unknown reaper yeah not many people want a FWD 4 cylinder car from a company that is famous for muscle cars
For anybody thinking about buying a mustang Yoo I’ve driven a 2000 v6 mustang with like 120k miles, no engine mods this car can only go up to 120mph I hit 120 on the dash and got that hella push back feeling it was fun af
Before you said supercharger I thought it was turboed
I love my 3.7. They are underrated
Hell no, you cant even put Mustang and Grand National in the same class. Never disrespect a Grand National like that 🤣🤣
Badguyred Well mustangs are still around.. So which car is better?
I bet you didnt even watch the video before saying that
@@sap1995-1 so are Buick regals which the Grand National was a package of, so what's your point
@@prestonsaunders8056 I sure did. That has nothing to do with my opinion on the title of this video though
Badguyred 😂
okay short throw shifters are cool but nothing is as satisfying as a medium hard pull in a car with a long shift throw. hearing everything at higher revs then nothing for what actually feels like a really long time then more engine is the best sound i’ve ever heard. doesn’t matter the car.
Good to see another boosted 3.7. At some point need to drive mine to you to do a review. Maybe in the summer when theres actually traction. Lol
Shorty headers is the key to getting these to sound good. When I deleted my cats it was insane, so I added 14 inch resonators. That with roush axlebacks made some nice tones but the shorty headers completely changed the sound for the better. I have clips on my channel if you want to see the difference
The 4.0 engine is not bad at all, especially turbo
I'm not even watching the video. GN is in a league of its own. When somebody builds a common family car into something that is quicker than every American car and almost every car in the world at the time, then we'll talk.
Robert Hull the disrespect is real😂
Your effort to comment will never be forgotten
Challenger Hellcat??? Ok next
Challenger Hellcat, Charger Hellcat, 2011-201? Chevy SS, Taurus sho.
It's a common formula for manufacturers to play around with, there's nothing special about the GN besides GM somehow building a not-shit car in the 80's.
@@Daniel-lv8ze you forgot that the GNX was the first to champion that notion to make cars that are faster than just about anything out of a family car.. Not Dodge (even though that's my company), Not Chevy, Not even Ford.. *_Buick did this and without a V8 either.._*
You get a 3.7 v6 mustang, because it's lighter and more balanced for tracking and with a blower and can whip a coyote on the street. That engine is a racing engine and if stronger then the coyote block. It's the same reason people buy a 350z, light and nimble. The same can be said for the BRZ. With basic suspension mods it can out do something with double the HP when Auto crossed.
The Mustang is nice.
I follow a guy who has a 10 second v6 mustang turbo set up. Sick.
The 3.7L deserves more respect!!!! If you like anything 3V 4.6L V8's and before, you should like the 3.7L.
No you shouldn't. Because it sounds like trash and it's not a V8.
@@rhull3939 The old "It's not a V8, it sounds bad" saying. It's comical. The 3.7 hurts a lot of feelings lol.
Usually sayings get old because they're correct.
@@GOPACKERSJT I mean it's kinda true. The 3.7 sounds like complete ass and lacks low powerband torque like the 3 valve.
But a 3.7 will pull to a higher redline very nicely. Still down on tq but does better uptop.
You can totally downbadge... But never upbadge!
As far as buying a V6 vs a V8 it's a no brainer. You get that V8 if you have the scratch. You'll never get the sound from a 6 and that is a major selling point with me. BUT, on the flip side it is so fun having that much power in a V6. Sleeper status! Reminds me of the Ripp supercharged Challenger I reviewed. Lots of fun!
Hi David
Sounds great for someone new to performance cars who wants to have fun without killing themselves
No it’s a boosted v6 mustang.
What
^ lol exactly
Josue Aguilar He’s answering the title of the video dipshit
invinciblejets that vert fc, you might be a heavy girl but your ass nice 😍😍🤤
This will get some hate, but I happen to really like modern V6’s. I think they are perfect for a young or casual enthusiast, and adding boost to the mix makes them a total sleeper. A 6th gen V6 Camaro has 335 hp, that’s 20 HP more than a 4.6 mustang from 8 years ago, and with boost those cars can make 450 whp. That is enough to complete with most bolt on N/A V8s. I saw a procharged V6 run low 11s on pump gas, that’s merging onto stock Hellcat territory. Boosted V6’s are no joke. I respect the hell out of anyone with a fast V6, that goes for Mustangs, Challengers, 350Z/370Zs, G35/G37s, and especially the Camaro’s. They are not what they used to be, I consider them full on sports cars. But that’s just my 2 cents.
Well my dad owns an 86 Buick grand national and a 91 gmc syclone, I own an 87 Buick Regal Turbo t 👍🏽nice mustang though.
A buddy of mine back in the day outran 2 IROC State cops in his Syclone. That truck was fucking nuts.
I owned a 2013 mustang V6, the engine genuinely had good power. Especially when tuned for 93 octane and CAI. I had 3.73 gears on mine and beat all the 2005-2010 GT's that tried to stoplight race me. Procharging it never made sense, it was like $7000 or something crazy. Plus you had to fix the exploding driveshaft issues that plagued certain years. Back in 2014, for any 2011+ cyclone V6 you could find, adding the cost of the procharger instantly had you right in GT pricerange. so it never made sense financially, unless you bought a salvage V6. Even now it would make no sense to build a procharged V6 since a used coyote could be had for the same money after its all said and done.
It almost sounds like a GTR on the inside when you floor it.
When are you going to review the grand national Buick regal 1987
V6 life
I have a 2011 black mustang v6 and I plan on keeping my pony car until I'm old .
I'll end up retiring the mustang once I've got two more cars
I do plan on boosting it later down the road
A modern grand national?! Chill out 😂
I know this thread is old already, but I just came across it. So @ThatDudeinBlue I just wanted to say thanks for this. I have a '12 Cyclone and have long debated what to do with it. Unfortunately I can nowhere near afford a Procharger, but that's my goal. AM has some good stuff and when I'm able to drop about 8 large I'm going all in. Again thanks.
No. No it is not a modern Buick Grand National. That is all.
It All comes down to anything that can go fast . . . What interest , and what are you willing to have Fun .
No, next question
This has easily become wanna of my favorite review you’ve done in a while. Title is fitting
Bro I've been watching you for about 5 years, and I hate to say this but you need to reinvent your channel. I feel bad seeing you not getting the views vs the ratio to the amount of subscribers you have. Tommyfyeah gets comparable views to you with about 800,000 less subscribers. I'm just merely suggesting you do something different, maybe like a daily vlog, working on new builds in those vlogs, just something different. Love yah man just wanna see you get the views I know that are there.
I would love to see him go back to daily vlog
It's a great alternative to the v8. It sounds really good and isn't it all about enjoying your ride. 400+ to the wheels...smiles per gallon.
Just get a V8
What people don't realize is that the V6's value is going to tank worse than the V8. Doesn't matter whether you boost it or not you're wasting money and depreciation/appreciation will never be good on a V6 Mustang.
Leonardo’s Videos why, ppl are pushing over 600whp on turbos with stock internals, everyone hates on the 3.7 till they get walked by one
@@blackairforceones9075 im not saying they are bad cars bro. But not everyone has the money to boost a v6. People who buy v6 and boost em do it for the Giggles cause they got a v8 or have something faster than a Coyote. Im just saying if you want to go fast and are in a budget get a v8
I mean that's fair. I had a tti turbo 98 z28. Sold it in preparation for a move. Had the 3.7 as a daily I had done a few mods to. Then decided why not let's boost the v6 mustang lol.
@@leonardo179_ not always do people have money for a V8 either tho.. I don't think most people take that into consideration.. Either that or the V8 is just a lil too much for them so they get the next best thing which happens to be better for them because it's better for everyday use with gas mileage, and such of the latter
close race with a 370z? i always put 2-3 car lengths ahead of these v6 mustangs and i only have a axle back , i dont think it can even beat a 350Z HR
A V6 IS NOT A

You're right, doesn't stop it from being awesome.
Nothing is muscle car these days you dork.
yeah, but its a rly cool sleeper tho
@@witchityman7148 pretty sure the Challenger is a muscle car.

Was pleasantly surprised how good that thing sounds! Def RAD!
*watched from inside my Coyote
Mmm'nope, still not a V8
I have a modded GT 2017 right now but had a 2011 v6 with a procharger and I honestly think my old v6 would beat my new car. I definitely beat plenty of coyotes back when I had it.
V8s just give that satisfaction that v6 can’t supply
@@holmieg3435 yeah I thought that. But boost and a dumped wastegate changed my mind. And that's coming from someone who owned a turbo ls1 car.
You’re so cool, so so cool
This edit is the same as your older ones! I love it!
"Or do you want to be unique and beat the v8?" How about if you want to do that get an ACTUAL V6 like a Genesis (350 hp stock) or any v6 other than a MUSCLE CAR... V6's are NOT Muscle cars!!👎🌈🌈
But then you're not different. Everyone expects 6 cylinders to be in European or Japanese vehicles. People want to be different, unexpected, and proven. That's why lots of people are making sleeper 6 Mustangs now.
A genesis won’t beat a coyote though
@@JOE5oo5 well obviously.. Why are u comparing the V6 Geni to the 5.0?? Compare it to the V6 mustang..of course the GT is faster than a V6..😑😑
Saleen Mustang and if you’re going to be a v6 sports car buy a Z
The genesis is a piece of trash. Get a 350z(hr, if you know you know 😘), do full bolt on's, acquire driver mod, gap stock coyotes.
V6 power has come a long way.
The old 3.8 from 99-04 (was slow) but you can’t kill them. The first car I ever bought from a dealership was a 2000 ( in 2005) v6 5 speed and I put an m90 supercharger off of a Buick and with a pulley and a tune it made 300hp at the tires. It wasn’t a monster but it was a fun car and that 3.8 took a beating and didn’t care
There will always be some disagreement within the mustang community about engine size...but in its entire history this car has had multiple options for its customers, thats whats kept it alive. thats what allows the "community" to be just that...it has allowed us to be unique and take on different challenges to make it something different from the other guy. Not having a V8 in it, shouldn't take anything away from what it really is...a piece of american history.
Great video. You can tell you enjoyed and actually had fun in this car.
Lol RIP, I boosted my v6 and ran 9.88 at 138mph in the 1/4. The cyclone engine is stout and the limit on a stock block is 600+hp on e85. But once you have to build one it gets expensive fast. Building a coyote is probably cheaper and is for sure easier as parts are more readily available.
Building a coyote- and I'm speaking from experience -is about the same price but consumables when owning a coyote is a whole different thing. you won't be getting 30 miles per gallon on the highway like you do in a boosted v6 you have six spark plugs and six coils to deal with instead of 8 and a whole hell of a lot less oil.
Joshua C it’s cheaper to build a coyote, for the cyclone you have to get custom parts made because there are only two companies who have internals available and one sucks and the other is incredibly over priced. Like $2000-2500 for pistons and rings and $1500 for a set of rods... mind you that’s a set of 6. I had to have wiseco make me a custom set of pistons and it was still expensive.
Joshua C also my turbod cyclone was on e85 so the gas mileage wasn’t that great.
It’s just very different, you’d think oh it’s 2 less cylinders consumable and the build is overall way cheaper. But that’s pretty far from the truth. The coyote has a way bigger market and way more aftermarket support. The cyclone barely has any aftermarket support. It’s just tons and tons of custom stuff you need made to build one. I even needed to get a custom torque plate made because there wasn’t a single machine shop in Houston that carried one
People dont understand that the vast majority of mustangs sold are base model V6s(now inline 4s). That enables ford to produce and sell the V8s that they do. Which is a small number by comparison. The 4 and 6 cylinder cars keep the name afloat and allows the V8 to exist. Everyone loves the V8 but most only buy the V6 which is weird, but be grateful because it lets you have your V8. Same case for the camaro.
