Replying to: thegraduate (Oct 06, 2008 5:41 am) Actually two ways to look at it - someone commented negatively about someone else accelerating to 115 on a public highway, and I commented on how short a time it took these days to do that, so I tried it with our '08. 10 secs is that great comparatively, but still a very short burst of speed to get there. There are certainly opportunities to do that just about anywhere, with no traffic and clear dry road. |

I haven't 'timed' it but my 4 banger is strongest from 50-70. Great acceleration at that speed. Matter of fact I 'punch' it every now and again just to feel how strong that 4 cyl is when operating at its peak effeciency. One of these days I'll take my stop watch with me. Like I've said before she isn't a drag star but very stout all things considered. What makes it so nice is that its about 200% of what I expected it to be when I made the decision to buy the 4 vs the V6. It bears repeating "I'm certainly not dissapointed" not by a long shot.

Lower maintenance costs, better mpg from the I4. The V6 is performance just exceeded by the 300 hp Mustang GT with far better reliability, engineering and MPG. Major difference V6 to I4 is the timing belt replacement V6 at 105k miles or 7 years. The engine is interference so heads up. I plan belt replacement at 10 years because miles will be less than 40k and climate is moderate SCa.
