Seriously OP get the new v6, its a badass car and who wouldn't love getting the good mpgs. The people suggesting a terminator, yea he can get one for the same price but these car waste a ton of gas. With all the mods I got I get 9mpg city, thank god its not my DD.

The new 5.0's are a badass car but I seriously can not justify the cost of one.

Gif4445- How would terminator owners be butt-hurt over the new 5.0? I know I am not and guarantee the rest of the terminator crowd is int either. Like me and most other cobra guys think, its about damn time ford put out mustang that is worth buying, just like the terminator was. Another thing you have to remember is there are barley any stock terminator left. Most have KB's, whipples, or Turbos.

Ok, so I thought about it. I don't think people value the idea of not having a car payment. I'm assuming that the op has his car paid off for, At least save some money and have a bigger down payment. I dunno, that's my opinion, but as I sated earlier, do what you like op.

Well first, you assumed that i was talking about terminators. But anyways, me ASSUMING that cobra guys are butt hurt because of the 5.0, is about the same as 2V owners being butthurt from a V6 that is light years ahead technology wise. Just not a fair comparison. Anyways, i don't have a problem with you. Just the person i responded to earlier, thats why i made a smart *** comment to match him

Though a Cobra would be badass.
I like the way you think!

I like the first part of this too. Well I think the 5.0 is worth the cost. It performs like a $60,000 M3 and ISF down the strip.

My GT is paid for. I have no note right now. I am even going to double up my car note to pay it off in 2.5 years vs 5 years.

GTRACER88 hurry up and buy 1 because this thread is making me super jealous hahaha though the GT sounds the its gonna be the best thing since sliced bread the V6 w/ 31mpg highway is awsome imo (i do a lot of driving ) My problem is i don't want a car payment though my car is 100% payed for and Im content at the moment because of this. Maybe is a few years, new GT

One of the first things I will do is post a crap ton of pictures!! I'm still deciding on the color. Race red or grabber blue. Second thing I will do is look into seeing if a 5.0 is a complete and easy drop in. That would make things super interesting. I will get a 5.0 at a V6 price tag.

I doubt that. There's still the cost of the 5.0 itself...etc etc, you might be better off with a supercharger/turbocharger instead. A turbo 3.7 would be nasty.
