it's easier than that, just look through the front bumper cover at the radiator portion, the V6's look different than the GT's.

So do you think its ok when a GT looks like a Cobra? There is nothing wrong with a V6 trying to look like big brother GT unless they badge it....

well I think one thing that would be easy to spot is the brakes, I'm pretty sure the stock brakes on a GT are different than a v6 are they not?

That's the only TRUE way to tell. V6's can have dual exhaust and fog lights and those who don't know the sound can mistake a V6 for a V8.
yeah tell me about it, this 17 year old brought his car in to ford. I saw it from far, i was like sick i get to test drive the cobra. Everything looked like a 03 cobra, even interior. I got in turned it on, and I was like wtf sounds like a ****in v6. pooped the hood, and yep a freakin v6. lol
