Yeah, but more often it's decals. No wonder the ricer community thinks Mustangs suck.

GT300? Why is there only 300' between the production building and the race shop?

Didn't cervini's produce a package that was labeled the "GT 350". Had the C-series body kit with like a CAI, some minor mods.

We have a dealer in town that puts the GT300 stripe on the Mustang's it sells. I have a black GT300 stripe on my Performance White GT and love the way it looks. I do get people that ask what package that is and I just tell them it isn't but refers to the 300 hp the car is rated at. They like the car reguardless!

about the GT350, isnt the shelby GT rated at 350hp?..soo wouldnt that be what its for?

of course though i think having "Shelby GT" on the car is far better than GT350, but still.

The only argument I hear for why people get a V6 is that they can't afford a GT. How this works, I don't know. It's not like they are paying in cash. The difference in payment between a V6 and a GT is not that much. My friend checked on the insurance, and that is only a few dollars cheaper for the V6. I would have bought a used GT before I bought a new V6. I don't understand the allure of the V6. It's front bumper is uglier than the GT's. It's rocker panels are not painted to match the car. It has a V6 and not a V8. I really think people psyche themselves out of getting a GT with lame arguments. That's why I don't see the point in supercharging or turbocharging a V6.

As far as the track goes.....I don't foresee myself ever taking my car to a dragstrip, so I don't care about those issues.

I agree the V8 is the better value (it's only slighty more and you get more stuff), but all contemporary cars are over-powered from a pragamatic standpoint anyways.

Most Mustangs that are sold are NOT V8's, something like 75% last year were the V6 (not quite sure about that specific number but it was pretty high). Most people who buy V6's probably just want to save a little money and gas and don't really ever use the power of the V8 anyways. That's my guess at least. And as for supercharing, maybe it is cheaper to supercharge a 6 than get a GT straight up?
