Default '05 V6 vs. '98 GT stock for stock

Now i've had this in my mind for quite some time now and never really got to post it on any threads.One reason is because my brother has an '05 sonic blue V6 and I've drove it some, but for V6's , there no slugs for that matter. I'd really like t hear everyone's thought and 2 cents on the matter.

One of the online reviews on '05 Mustangs I read stated that the '05 V6 has more horses than the '98 GT. Just a few more, I forgot how many it said though.

215hp for the GT, 210 for the V6, the GT has less weight and more torque but the V6 has better spaced gears in both the auto and 5speed. However I know the GT should be able to run a 15.1 or .2 and the V6 stock I've seen run mid 15's. This is speaking stock vs stock of course but we'll need to defer to V6 owners for feedback.

Ah... that was it... the review stated it had just 5hp less than the 98 GT. Pretty doggone close! My bad... but a V6 owner's good.

the 98 GT's had 225 though, not 215. they did some kinda intake thing or something that made it get 10 more horsies.
