sounds like sh*t if GT owners compliment me and they do for the sound of my v6! Yes I am missing 2 cylinders but with few mods I can spank a lot of older v8's up to 2004! Driver mod equipped! God forbid I add an X-charger and will surprise a lot of 2005-2010 GT's with average mods! Check yourself! Before you wreck yourself!

While I certainly DO prefer a V8 over a 6 (which is why I have my GT...), I really don't get the attitude that it's not a "real" Mustang unless it has 8 cylinders. I mean, since the beginning, the Mustang has been available with a 6 or 8. Also, for a while, with a 4-banger...

True a v6 will never sound like a v8! But can sound good for a v6 I wouldn't say it

I like my '11 V6, but that 05 with its color combination sounds badass. Get the 11' V6 if you want better fuel economy and a newer car. The 05' GT will sound better and have better off the line performance. And I'm assuming that the 05' is quite a bit cheaper than the starting price of $23k for a stripped 11' V6.

Flip a coin. The '05 GT and '11 V6 are both pretty great cars and the performance differences aren't big enough to make your final decision, especially if you like one body style/color combination more than the other.

Well the way people talk around here they only buy a car for sound, so I would go get a fox body 302. Sound is obviously the most important part about a car, performance comes second, maybe even third behind how many cylinders you have.
Or you know, you don't race that much and want a nice 300hp car with good fuel economy, cheap insurance, and a warranty then get the v6.
