4 Reasons Why Owning a v6 Mustang and Being a Car Guy Sucks

Ah, the v6 Mustang (AKA the rental car). While I absolutely love my car, there are some glaring downsides to owning a v6 mustang and being a car guy. Here are 4 reasons why!

Reason 1: You are automatically assumed to not be a car guy

A widespread belief in the car community is that the only good mustangs have v8’s, which is true. However, as a result of this belief, the v6 then has gained the reputation of a typical flashy car that non car people buy to impress people. Most car people assume that since you didn’t opt for a v8 that performance doesn’t matter to you, and hence comes the assumption that you are a sub human.

Reason 2: Ricers

The v6 Mustang is a popular domestic car that ends up neck deep in rice. GT and 5.0 badges, huge wings, boss 302 stickers, and other unnecessary visual mods really ruin it. V6 mustang ricers are just like the ricers that rice honda’s. They set bad reputations for decent cars, and enforce a terrible stereotype.

Reason 3: Non-car guy D-bags

This reputation is very detrimental to car guys that own v6’s. The D-bags that drive v6’s follow the non car guy stereotype, but they make it worse. They act like the v6 is the best car in the world, and shove it into people’s faces.

Reason 4: Modified v6 Mustangs are frowned upon

The meme says it all. When you start modifying a v6, some car guys instantly assume that you are a “v8 wanna be”. So no matter how you modify a v6 in terms of performance, some car guys will frown upon it.
