RE: tough decision
Do not get the shaker 1000, even at dealer cost the money could be much better spent on an aftermarket subwoofer.
And at 16 I would 2nd the recommendation to go for a V6 'vert over a GT. Nobody "needs" 300 hp, as much fun as it may seem to be.
Have you actually called your insurance agent and asked about the priceincrease for a GT over a V6?
I think that that info alone may well make up your mind for you

RE: tough decision
I think all these guys are giving you great advise. I just bought my 17 year old daughter a 2006 Ford Focus.
Take the V6 Pony Package but don't get the Shaker 1000. Someday when you are a more experienced driver, you can trade or sell it for a GT......that's IF it's still in one piece.

Sorry but a V6 with those mods still won't touch a GT.........unless it's a driver issue.
I would get the base GT. It's a much faster car and handles better.

I have a friend with your setup that runs as fast as my auto GT did stock (9.4 1/8 mile)
He has:
CAI -- $300
Tuner -- $400
3.73 Gears -- $250
Traction Locker -- $250
Exhaust -- $400
Total -- $1650 ish
Course, it's the coolest V6 in town.
