4-banger Mustang

my friend is getting a mustang for her first car... her brother says its a 4 cyl.. wtf?

uh... what year?
someone put a 4 cyl into it? or is he claiming its stock?

not sure its the newest model..

no

no way its a 4 cyl. 6 or 8 only

the guy is an idiot


edit: i only asked what year because i dont know the '71+ mustangs or the fox body's too well

thats what i said after i looked it up on cars.com

my friend used to have an 88 mustang 4 banger

Yep, they definitely came with 4-bangers. The old Mustang II did, and there were some fox bodies as well. The SVO was a turbo 4.

Yes I had an SVO Mustang it it would outrun most of the V8 stangs back in the day ...

New gen's are 6 or gt's are 8... no 4's... old style did have them tho, as already stated a few times..

i'll check this out becuase now her dad's saying it too... i'm thinking they turned it on and it made no sound so they think its 4.

step 1: pop and prop hood open
step 2: count cylinders

If it is a new model w/ a 4 banger then they got the shaft. Someone must have switched engines.

4 banger Mustang = crap. All the old 4 bangers were dog slow as well.

they shouldnt be allowed to buy a car if they dont even know what engine it comes with...proof they have no clue what they are doing...


4 banger mustangs havent been around since the 80's I believe and the only decent one was the SVO with the turbo 4....which is a kickass ride..

its either a V6 or 8....Ford doesnt make a 4 banger for the mustang...its too heavy and would be slower than a kia

Four cylinder Mustang were available from 74' to 78' in the Mustang II's and from 79' to 93' in the Fox body Mustangs.

Old 4 banger mustangs couldn't get out of their own way.

she said it gets 20 mpg city and 28 on highway i'm deffinately thinking that is V6 and they be R tards

yea that would be a 6er....and try 18MPG city

Damn, mine gets 18 city/26 highway and it's a GT (but it is a 2003, not a new one).

Just ask the owner if it has a big "GT" badge on the side, dual exhaust, and fog lights. If it's missing one of those then it's a 6 cylinder. If it has all of those it MIGHT be a GT (could be a rebadged sixer). Another easy option is to type the VIN number into google.

i like the open the hood and count method.
if you dont know mustangs too well to be able to tell by trim wheels/badges/fogs-accessories, just count the cylinders.

Count the cylinders? Hell you should not even have to do that. Just open the hood and if the engine is not a V then it is a 4 banger.

they had a picture NO GT and no duallies.

pretty damn sure they wouldn't be making 4 cyl mustangs.. thats why they make Foci.
