what can't you afford on the GT? thats why I said SAVE some more and buy one, do you NEED to buy a car now? I don't know your situation, but to me I would not suffice for a V6 if I could hold out and save some money then buy a GT. or save and wait till they come back around used at the dealerships or something.


and I don't doubt that the V6's hold their own, I'm impressed by the power they make for being a V6....I just dont care to drive/own one.
you're essentially telling him to save another 7k or so. when you think about it thats 25% the cost of the more expensive GT. easier said than done...the v6 is still nasty enough to hold its own.

Do it, better interior, better technology, better quality, comes in grabber blue, suspension mods are an option, more power stock than the 2v, better mpg, there are also a few guys I've talked to saying that you can swap in the turbo setup off of a sho into the v6, and you can select steeper gears too. Only major down side is the sound/tq.

Just in case no one else said it, the V6 is still nasty enough to hold it's own.

It all comes down to a matter of opinion. Personally, if I'm going to be driving this car every day, I would much rather have a fully optioned 305hp V6 than a bare bones v8. It's too simple to make a car fast to give up all the amenities when this car is pulling DD duty.

Have you driven either before making that conclusion?
