Default Which one to get? V6 vs GT
I am looking aggressively to buy an 11 stang. Question is whether I should go for the V6 + Performance Package or GT + base package. Is the GT worth the price difference between the two? I wrecked my 2000 Mustang GT back in 07 and I have been driving my 07 Nissan 350z for awhile now. Thinking of trading it in for the stang. Got any suggestions as far as I getting the best price for my trade and purchase price of the new stang?

Edit: Haven't been on MF for awhile now (almost 2 year drought) so I don't even know if this is the right section to post something like this.. oh well

Gt, the v6 will probably feel similar power wise to your z

If you're not worried about gas prices, then go for the GT.

Both will be fun, but the GT will probably be more fun IMO.


GT wins!

GET THE 5.0.

Just do it. Even if it is 100% plasticky base model. It can always be upgraded.

Soooo, you're saying the V6 has more style than the GT? I really hate it when kids drink too much...

(wow, how'd I respond to post #9 in post #8? Another forum space and time continuum issue)

Yeah, the clock's still messed up...

Anyway, I'd go with the GT as well folks.
