I dont know about you but preparedness is something a man cannot live without. Driving down the road with a V8 and still getting very decent MPG while knowing you could step on it for instant gratification is invaluable. A V6 is good if you plan on going strictly economy or are the type to never really have the urge to "get on it". Owen67 is right, you will get into that GT and instantly FEEL the difference.

If you just want a good looking car, you can consider the V-6. If you want a fun car to drive, you gotta have the V-8

I am not sure what you v8 guys are talking about....FUN? Have you really driven a 305hp v6? I mean really driven it? The car is no chump in the fun department. Watch the videos on you tube of the stock v6 vs the stock gt....you are only talking maybe one car length or a little more in the 1/4 mile. Sure there is a differnece in the cars, but real world driving the two are closer than most people think. I would challenge you guys to really drive a v6 and see for yourselves.

Yes, drive a 2010 or earlier GT and then a 2011+ V6. Decide for yourself... 8 cylinders are better than 6 for performance IMO. Get the 2011+ V6 if you are looking to get great mileage in a good looking car though.
