Default did the two cylinder upgrade!

Hey guys, just picked up an 09 GT on saturday, upgraded from my 06 V6. This car is awesome! It definitely needs a tune and exhaust though.

Before:



and after

I'm looking at doing the same. Was it worth it? I'm trying to decide between pimping out my 05 V6 or getting an 06 GT...

even with a completely stock gt i say hell yes it was worth it. aside from the obvious power and sound difference, the car rides and shifts smoother (both are manual). could be because its new but it just feels more refined.

Its quieter than my V6 with the FRPP exhaust was which is bothering me, think im about to order a pypes mid muffler...

Thumbs up nice!!!!

That's a really sharp car! Congratulations. You will love the V8. So many options to buy in the aftermarket too.

Congrats man!! you made a great choice... The GT has a rear swaybar (unlike the V6), firmer gas struts/shocks and a TR3650 trans vs. the T5(?) in the V6.

That would explain the smoother riding/shifting.

I like the 45th Anniv horseshoe badges too...
