SWEET CAR Careener.

man, i still wish i would have taken a test drive of the V8 Mustang 5 years ago..  and your 3.7 is just as powerful as the old 4.6 V8!

great deal as well.

Congrats and may it serve you for long time, problem free.

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

I just checked their website...there are at least 5 dealers in Ontario where you could have this done...

How informative.

I asked you to link to the actual "Tune".  Having trouble.  ;D


There is NO as in NONE ..... FRP or Ford authorized ECM Tune for the 2011 Mustang V6.

However, there are AFTERMARKET tunes not warrantied by FORD although I don't see the value in that.

Hmmmm....was it for the 2010 V6 then??  I know I saw it.  Comes with filter and the little blue handheld uploader.  I thought it was for the 2011.  If you REALLY want, I'll go through the catalog....

Suit yourself  :)   You say the 4.0 air cleaner and tune that nets 12 HP @ $700 USD.

The reason there isn't one on the 3.7 is that Ford says that it's already built in.  They claim the knock sensors have no limit.  So when a user uses 91 octane the knock sensors send the ECM new info and then the ECM advances the timing, etc.

Looks like 2010 V6 Stang.  And it's only $388.

I just noticed this week for how cheap you can buy one of these in base form. 22 999$ this is ridiculous. of course it doesnt have any of the options you have which are a must for an enthusiast. I will definitely be looking for a mustang for my next vehicule purschase but it will probably be the next model by then.

only negative points i read a couple of times in reviews is how 'at higher speeds the front-end floats and bobs around too much'.
and how it needs revs to be fast... it doesnt have a lot of torque below 3000rpm but who isnt aware of that? it's the v6 not the v8... well congrats this thing looks good and is probably gonna be very reliable.

Tremendous "bang-for-the-buck", and will probably be very economical to operate and maintain over the long haul.

Good luck finding one in base trim. When I looked there were none available anywhere. I was lucky to get premium seats without leather seating surface.

I paid cash and got a huge discount though. The upgrades are awesome and the car is really comfortable for my 6'4" frame in both driver and passenger seats. The stock tires are almost $500 each  :pimp:
