0-60 is like 6.7-7.2...somewhere in that area...

1/4 times for 3.8 Auto runs low 16s upper 15s consistent
1/4 times for 3.8 Manual runs mid 15s(if ur a good driver)

I ran a 15.6 in mine

Besides the whole not having a V8 , Is the 3.8 quick ? , how does it handle , fun to drive ? , easy to drive , better handling than my Civic? Because im really thinking about a 2000 or so Mustang , the body just looks so damn good

I think the V6 is pretty quick. My car cuts off at around 115mph. There is a little bit of body roll when you speed through the corners. But other than that it's really fun and easy to drive. I get a lot more looks and comments while driving the stang than when I had my Oldsmobile.

Oh and I forgot to mention, if you want to do burnouts you will have to buy t-lok. Because stock 99+ Mustangs will only do one wheel burnouts without it.

3.8L = smaller 5.0

The late model 3.8Ls are pretty torquey for a 6. A nice eaton blower and BAM, easy 14s.

That right there is the reason why your insurance will be high no matter what you drive.

well , i checked insurance quotes BEFORE i got the ticket , and they were through the roof , now i can only wonder how much they will be .... A 2000 mustang was 3,000 to insure : (

hmm.. You can always eliminate everything on the insurance except Liability. That'll bring it down a lot, but just dont get into any accidents.
