How many cylinders is it good to have on a Mustang? I dont know much about cars, but Im looking to buy one..?

Question

Some friends are saying that a 6 cyl. is a cheaper style, and to go for a 8... I want a fast one, but I dont want to spend a whole lot... but which is better?

thanks.

Answer 1

If your friends are buying the gasoline, go with the V8,if not you might reconsider the 6 cylinder.BTW This gas price thing isn't going to get any better.

Answer 2

a v8 is the best  for power and performance a v6 is best for gas  

Answer 3

it really all depends on what you are looking for. there are alot of different models to choose from all of which perform different. if you have a tighter budget and are worried about gas, go with a v6. they get the best millage of all of them but still have a good amount of get up and go. if it speed you want than the v8 will give you that, for a little more hp you could go with a gt. the more you are willing to spend the more hp you get.

Answer 4

A v6 is quick and cost less than a GT model. The GT has a V8 and is quicker but the insurance and overall cost is more. You could also go with a turbo four cylinder svo from 1985-1986. 205 HP and it beats the 5.0 V8. It's a 4 banger so insurance won't be much and they are cheaper than new cars.

Answer 5

the 8 is $10 K more, so it's the best..the 6 is plenty fast..

Answer 6

well its really up to you. a 6 cylinder would inevitably be cheaper on gas, but it would also be slower. the 8 would be faster, but use more gas...i dont know how big the difference is though. If you go into google you can search and find out the exact mph and all that for the year of the car you were looking to get.  

Answer 7

If you "don't know much about cars", stay away from any V-8 cause you can't handle it. There's a difference between being a driver and a steering wheel holder.

Answer 8

get the v8 version its the GT you wont regret it
