Worth buying a 2010 GT over an 2006 one
I posted before about my 2006 gt and wanting a 2011, but if you're buying a 2010 GT to save money and sc it, would it be worth trading in a 2006 GT with only 19k on it for a newer car with the same engine basically? Or just super charge the 06?

Depends, if you have the extra cash and you like the 10 better then i guess it would be worth it. But if you have the money, the 2011 is even better... Id love to have a 10/11 with the stillen body kit though, that thing is sexy

yea, 19,000k for an almost 5 year old car is really good, not to mention rare. i would sc the 06 unless you really like the new body '10

I personally would just supercharge the 06. The looks are not that far superior in the 10-11's to where the old body style does not look good anymore especially if you are getting a 10 with basically the same powertrain. Heck, there are a lot of people who still prefer the look of the old body over the new. You are going to get more than enough power out of your car with a blower where it will feel like you got a new car. just my 2 cents.

$2100 to go....well, quite a bit more if you add in the clutch and new set of rears I'll be needing.
Also, it really doesn't matter what you do to the 10-11 Mustangs, that rear still belongs on an Accord.

Hmm tough choice, with the 06 you can pay it off and supercharger it. If you trade it in then you will have more payments and can't do as much to it as a paid off car and also you have low mileage on the 06' so keep it!

Or you could take the money you're planning to drop into a supercharger (probably at least $7K including install) and use it as a down payment on an '11 GT, probably end up with the same payment you have now or less, and have a nicer interior, probably just as much power as if you supercharged your '06, and have a better jump off point if you decide to supercharge the '11 later on. But the idea of no car payment sure is a compelling one! I haven't been w/o a car payment in over 17 years. 
I just don't like having a car too long. I get bored with them. When there's no more fun in driving it, it's time for it to go. My 550i Sport is getting booted out of my garage real soon.
