Default HELP I CANNOT DECIDE!

I am searching for the perfect stang for me. I was originally leaning towards the v6. I have NEVER owned a v6 EVER in a sports car. Well other then my old 300 hp vr4. Anyways, I was certain I was going to get a v6, until I found a blue gt 5 speed. It is sleek. No spoiler just the way I like them. The insurance on a gt for me is only 10 more for 6 months. What is the gas mileage difference in them? What do your gt's get, and for the v6 owners what does yours get mpg wise? Help me decide!

I have quite a few bolt ons. I get 15 in town and 23ish on the highway. If your looking for performance and can afford to do so, get the GT. Theres a 90 hp difference between the 4.0 and 4.6. Thats huge difference.

Kara, I have an 07 GT that gets about 19-20 MPG in town (running steeda CAI and Brenspeeds tunes) and 25-28 MPG on thehighway. Don't get a v6, you'll regret it in a very short time.

Ok well is 16800 good for a spoiler delete 05 mustang with 49900 miles. 5 speed and tan leather with a shaker 500. Is that a good deal?

If they are asking $16800 for a used GT, take it! Everyone will say get GT over V6. But for some, money is an issue. A deal like that though, you regret not taking it if you buy a 6! Good luck
