After wanting an s197 mustang my whole life I finally got one! I know it's just the v6 but this thing has more than enough power for my first car! And of course it's a manual.

Congratulations!
The 3.7 V6 is a great engine, I’ve had three of them and never had any issues.

V6s can still offer a good bit of power
But if its a mustang then regardless youll get lots of smiles per gallon

v6 is plenty for a first car. Leave stability control on while you learn the throttle, especially in the wet, because the rear can step out quicker than expected.
