with gas being so expensive, i was thinking bout dropping a v6 into my ws6. good idea?

**lvbroham1** · 07-04-2008, 08:19 PM

unless you're planning on building a badass motor and the V6 is just temporary, I wouldn't suggest it. IMO.

No. If you want better gas mileage, buy a Prius; don't maim a perfectly good WS6.

just cut back on other expenses. ie:food, bills, hookers(i know, i know, the first week or so will be hard, but after that, its nothing rosie palm cant take care of).

My ls1 gets better gas mileage than it did on my v6 bird 3.8L.

**FORD RECOVERY EXPERT** · 07-04-2008, 09:12 PM

give me the ws6 and back away...
i have a camry that gets 28mpg, and its a stick, so you can still have fun.
i'll even pay shipping.

is this burns ?

**B34M3R** · 07-04-2008, 09:15 PM

I agree with them... unless you want to trade me your LS1 for my V-6. then I dont think you should do it.....

but seriously, if you want better mileage, sell your WS6 and buy a cheap-ass DD for gas mileage, and save yourself money and hassle, instead of wasting money and raping a perfectly good WS6.

I am plan on selling my WS6 and get an R1.

**basballny2** · 07-04-2008, 09:27 PM

im not sure this is a serious comment.......but if it is, the v6 firebird it said to get 17/28 mpg (5 spd.) and the v8 trans am is said to get 17/25 mpg (6spd.) However, alot of guys claim to get around 28mpg with the v8 on the highway and if you break down the difference per year its an additional 300 bucks a year to drive the v8. (Depending on how much you drive) That means it will take approximatly 10 years for it to pay itself off.

LS1 with a 6 speed gets the same mileage as the V6.

good GOD man!!!!

**blackSS01** · 07-05-2008, 05:09 PM

V8 Rapes the V6 in mpg if its a 6 speed and you can keep your foot off the pedal ALL THE TIME. Best I got was 32.8 mpg. Average is 29.9 mpg. Thats if I don't get on it. If I get on it quite a bit then my average is about 20.3 mpg.
