hey everyone i kinda need some help it may sound stupid but here goes, my parents just bought a new mustang gt and they sold me their 00 v6 really cheap so now i don't know if i wanna modify the v6 or sell it for a 5.0. what do you guys think? all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I would keep the 6. Mainly because I never liked fox bodies but also insurance reasons and it's newer.

the 5.0 has more potental then the 3.8 but stock for stock the fox shouldnt be too much faster the 3.8

Sell it and buy a 94-98 gt

The 5.0 will build you more power and will be cheaper insurance wise, however, it may have to go into the repair shop more often than the sixer simply because of the age of the car.

96(i think)-98 GTs aren't much faster than new edge sixers.

I'll be honest with you, i like fox bodies, but i have a 2000 V6, and have actually beaten 2 foxbody GTs in a race, so after that, I kinda decided to hang on to my sixer and mod it. Now if you had some extra money put away, and sold your sixer, get a 99GT or somethin, now that would be a real quick car.

You have to also think about the ladies who look at your car man, I got a 04 v6 and ive gotten so many compliments from random people and losts of chicks saying nice car and whatnot. Where as a Fox can be built really easily/beastly, and looks MUCH older and not appealing to the females,a v6 with work put into it can be sometimes betting then fox gts at times. But then again its your choice of riding man. Good Luck!

i have owned a '02 v6 and a '90 lx 5.0 and they are both great cars. for a daily driver the newer one will be more comfortable to drive around a lot and it won't have to visit the shop a lot. the 5.0 is a great fun car if you don't mind fixing little things all the time(at least mine i have to). the 5.0 was cheaper on insurance. gas mileage isn't that bad i average about 18 mpg in the city where i got about 23 or so in the v6. i personally like the fox better just because my dad had one when i was really little and i have always wanted one. the newer 'stang is a much smoother ride though and the fox doesn't even have cup holders haha

insurance on a 5.0 will actually be cheaper if you bother to actually call your insurance company

so he looses 2 years and proably gains a sh*t load of miles, and has no history of the car for a V-8 sound and .1 in the quarter? uhh no
