IMHO I would get the 08 GT, no question. Only 5 less hp and a lot more torque. Plus the V8 sounds about 1,345,852.1 times better... The 08 is also a better looking car (imo).
Get a 2011/12 GT. It won't cost any more than the loaded 13 V6. I would NOT spend the same money as the 13 V6 on a 2008 GT. That 2008 GT should go for around 15k.
..or just a bit more for a clean Cali Special, Bullitt or Shelby GT. And, any of those will hold value better in the long run, than the new V6.
If you get a '13 V6, you'll be saying.... "I could'a had a V8"...
08 for 15K.....HA......maybe under private sales listing. Dealships are going to demand over 20K for premium models. More for Shelby GTs and California Specials.
If you're concerned about fuel economy and you want that 'V8 sound' then the base '11/'12 GT (19/29 MPG) has better fuel economy than the 05-09 V6 (18/26 MPG).
wait... you mean 11/12 GT (17/26) which if your getting that your probably not driving it right lol, and (18/26) for the 05-09 v6. Still not really enough of a benefit to not get a GT, go v8!
I recently got an 08 gt/cs with 35,000 miles. cai/tune 20inch rims new tire,s lowered, tri ax, bassani x pipe and mufflers. Purchased it for $19,500. Save a ton of money and get an 08 gt
