Default GT vs V6, same 0-60?

A salesman at my local ford dealer told me that the GT and the V6 are exactly the same speed-wise in 0-60 but then after that is when the GT is faster. Is this true?

I'm gonna repeat, since this was cross-posted in V6 tech...

Wow! Your salesman is... and, I'm going to be kind.... an absolute lying, sonnovab*tch moron!

0-60 times...
GT 5.3 seconds
V6 6.9 seconds

so... there's a slight difference as you can see. 90hp between the two engines will do that.

Run ... don't walk ... run from that dealership as fast as you can.

If they are willing to tell you something like that, then they are willing to tell you anything.

OK, I am going to nit-pick here, but your salesman is right. A V6 will be traveling at the same speed as a GT in a 0-60 contest, but the GT will get up to 60mph quicker. He meant to say the V6 and GT have the same time 0-60, which is wrong. He'll full of BS.

Right with the nit-pick. ...made me laugh; thought I could nit-pick your nit pick but couldn't really. (lol)

Another dumb-a** salesperson. With a few exceptions in the world of all sales people in all markets they are the most ignorant/clueless ones about what they sell of any group I have ever seen. When they are sitting around doing nothing which they do an awful lot of, why don't they simply read up on their products; And if they wouldn't mind, keep documentation of what they say available and handy. It's just down right sickening...

Tell the guy to lose the fake Italian leather jacket and learn about his products; ...that he looks stupid dressed like that and his stupidity is accentuated when he says things like this. Let him take a swing at you, you'll drive away in a FREE new GT.

Wow, this is so strange to hear about a salesman that doesn't have his info correct! What are you going to tell me next, that a salesman might actually LIE????? I feel little pieces of my world letting go somewhere!
