Default Mustang V6

ok so about a year ago I bought a Mustang V6 Premium. Everyone latley has been giving me the ****s about why I didn't get a GT and that a V6 is a girls car and this and that. I really don't care to drive all that fast, I've never went more than 100 MPH anyway and I like my V6 but everyone keeps talking about how crappy my car is. It only has under 5K miles on it and is in almost perfect condition, it's a 2008 btw. How much do you think I could get if I traded it in and how much more would I have to pay to get a GT? My car is black and has the white side paint on the side doors.

Don't listen to them!!! It's YOUR car, and what YOU want! Tell them if they buy you a GT, you'll take it. There's nothing wrong with a V6. It's a Mustang. Respect it!

Did you try reminding them its probably better than what they're driving? That tends to work...

Dude don't go and spend a bunch of money just cause someone else wants you to. Mustang is a mustang. Girls don't know the damn difference anyways. My wife doesn't know I have 436 horsepower on mine and she doesn't care anyways. Don't be something everyone else wants you to be. You always have to start somewhere, and a girl that likes you just cause the kind of car you have is a one nighter anyways. throw a supercharger on that sucker if you want power!!!!

lmao pretty true, if you're really worried about others' opinion that much, just bear that in mind. Although, many here will point out that the best girls will know the difference

You want to trade in the car you selected because some uninformed idiot told you it's a girl's car? Where did this happen, in homeroom, or the cafeteria?

GTs arent really for going over 100mph lol . there fun 0-60 ... 0-80 whatever.... i actually went 120 in my v6 and not over a 110 in my GT prob more bc of gas than anything... but i got alot of **** for my v6 but the only reason i traded it in for a GT was bc i really loved the sound of the GT i wanted more power and i wanted a manual car..... just do it for you tho it was a really good decision for me bc i love my car now but dont do it for other people its not there car

Most of the people who criticize the V6 Mustang don't own one in my experience. The people who love Mustangs don't care what engine platform you have. I get compliments all the time with my V6.

I was just at the dealership yesterday to show the service manager the new addition to my car. A bunch of the techs came out to look it over and nothing but compliments.

They all agreed by the way that with the Xcharger I probably am putting more power to the rear wheels than any of the GT's on the lot at the moment.
