mkspeed26

</P>


the number of speeds is the number of foreward gears in the tranny <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">it has nothing to do with the speed of the car. the only differance is that a 4-speed is usually a 5-speed without overdrive. a six speed just has closer ratio gears so there are more of them to get up to the top gear (which is just about the same as the top gear of a 5-speed). </P>


and if you lived closeby to me i would teach you, but you dont. if you pm me i will try to explain it so that you could at least get going with it <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

2001v6

Hey guys,</P>


I saw the used GT and wasn't impressed honestly. It wasn't in great condition. I've begun to think about trading in my 2001 v6 for a 2004 GT and just paying the extra bit more. One thing though to keep in mind is I've *never* driven stick nor do I know anything about it. My worry is that a) I won't enjoy it and will regret the purchase for whatever reason, b) I won't be able to drive stick well, c) I'll bang up a brang new beautiful stang learning stick on it (either transmission-wise or body-wise). What would you all suggest in this case? Go for the 2004, or just hang tight with the v6? v6 has 46K miles on it. I'm really debating here as I want the GT, but I'm just worried about major regrets later. By the way, thanks to all for the advice and generousity (person who offered to help me learn).</P>


Kindest regards,</P>

46K is pretty low miles. Maybe just get some new chrome wheels, like 18" or bigger and it will seem like a new car. New chrome wheels have that effect on a car. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

2001v6

Hey guys,</P>


I couldn't resist. I went ahead and went with an '04 GT. Within a few days I should know what my approved APR is and we'll see how it goes from there. Friends tried to convince me to get the 350Z, or an older Firebird, but I love the stang too much. So trading in the '01 v6 for an '04 v8 (with some financing). Drove in one today with one of the salesman and man, I just couldn't get over the growl, especially in comparison to my v6. Beautiful doesn't begin to describe it. I'll keep you all updated!</P>


Regards,</P>

yeah man definitely have fun. Good choice to thier really nice. Oh and I didn't mean to put down v6's hell i used to have one that i did all sorts of work to, stalker body kit and performance mods, lots of mods. I'm just saying if he wants speed go with the GT, plus they got more performance mods to offer.</P>


Anyways have fun with the GT.</P>


Peace</P>

Hey guys,</P>


You all rock. Thanks for the feedback. One last tiny decision to make: the Mach 1000 or the Mach 460? Is the 1000 all that better sounding for roughly 1200 added onto the car? What about XM radio and that other new radio crap they're selling? Worth it?</P>

It's always nice to get your system in the loan payment, but if you can swing it, it's better to get a custom install from a quality car audio place. I can't count how many times I spend the money and get the high end factory system, then 6 months later tearing half or all of it out to do a better system. <edited><editID>HotRods_n_Booze</editID><editDate>38008.5394328704</editDate></edited>
