Anything's better than the old 3.8 from the 90's, which ran out of breath and started shaking at only 4K

The 3.8 was always a POS. Its up there with the cologne V6 they had during the 80's.
Seemed designed for a short miserable life.

As for running out of breath @4K, my Yoter 2.4 does that. From 4-redline, it's just noise. Shakey too but Toyota saw fit to install uber engine mounts and insulation to hide it.

then buy a 2010 GT. 315hp is more than enough, plus decent low down torque, optional 3.73 gears, and they are selling for $25K new right now.

Bargain.

The Mustang is 'only' about 3400 lbs and comes with optional 18 in Pirelli P zeros, dunno the profile...
