So, like the title says, I saw this car in my gym parking lot. I don't quite know what to make of it, because it looks pretty well done (for the most part) but I didn't know Cosworth had anything to do with the 6 cylinder motor... or the Mustang for that matter,
Maybe someone can educate me.
Tell me what you guys think
Sorry for the cell phone pics.

Yeah, I don't know. Like Mentioned before, it was really cleanly done. Nothing was done that was "chincey". Maybe not in great taste (GTR6 sticker?) , but nothing cheaply done. The ...

Tell that to the guys at Road and Track.
They did a test on one of the Shelby prepped V6 cars and they loved it.

Apparently it made for far superior handling and driving ...

I never go to peek under the hood, (there would have been pics) But... Why the heck would you put a sticker like that on a v8 mustang? So, no I'm not absolutely sure that this car is a v6. It's all speculation.

The only reason I would keep it in the family is for ease of application, that's it. I really have no qualms about tossing something from any manufacturer in any car... but that's me.

Thats just it to stick a chevy small block into a ford it takes more work then it's almost worth. At that point you might as well have bought a camaro or something of that sort. Sure chevy small blocks make good power but the 351w is no joke either and the aftermarket for that motor is there as well. Not to mention right now GM has themselves in such a situation that money is coming out of our pockets to bail their asses out of hot water....
its not too bad looking... and to be honest.. the v6 can be built very strongly.... seen one recently on a local dyno who laid down 65-whp using a massive single turbo setup... fairly impressive -AcId-
