GT or V6? Stock?

My job requires alot of travelling and I am racking up to many miles in a short amount of time I really hate to sesll it as it is a sharp car.

Then don't sell it. You'll probably lose in the long run. Put pencil-to-paper and see, using fuel savings vs. what you'd lose in the trade/sale. My GT isn't my DD but I use it on long trips because it gets about 4 MPG on the highway at 70+ MPH more than my V6 SUV gets. Unless you can save about $100/month of fuel, the cost of replacing the vehicle can be a lose-lose situation. Think hard before you make a move.
