Default 4.6 vs 3.8

Besides the engine (V8 vs V6) what are the differences between the two? Different interiors, options, wheels?

for the most part they are the same other than the motors. rims on the v8 tend to be bigger.

rear end (8.8 vs 7.something), wheels (17x8 or 17x9 depending on GT or Mach1/cobra, vs 16x7 I believe), and foglights, don't know of anymore offhand.

rear bumper, rear end, exhaust, tranny, hood, wheels, most v6s dont have fog lights, the speedo reads 120 compared to a gt's 150 if that matters. iono some more little stuff. but the big thing is the motor and the rear. i beleive its a 7.5
