Default Would you trade your New Edge in on a 11 6er?

I've been noticing alot of Non New Edge GT owners (and some that own New Edges) bash them for there lack of performance. New Edges don't do well with bolt on's... 2v's suck... New Edge GT gets beat by 11 6er.. blah blah blah. Wasn't the New Edge GT, the fastest GT ever built just 6-7 years ago (last twenty years anyways')? We all know that the 11 is bringing the pain on all pre 05 GT's and I was just wondering if you could trade in your New Edge GT, would you trade it in for a 11 6'er? I have nothing against 6 cylinder mustangs but I know without a doubt I would not. I guess my biggest reason would be the sound that the V-8 makes, amongst others. Now the 11 GT I would trade in my car plus my dog, lol!! Let me hear from you guys..

If i was in the right financial situation, then i would in a heartbeat. Yea, it doesnt have that V8 rumble.......i almost could care less because of what the '11 V6 offers. Not only can it get 31 mpg, the suspension is way better. Interior is gorgeous and if if could get that exact one from the commercial i would have a smile from ear to ear. I love the thought of a warranty......

Yes I would..... plain and simple.
I love the new v6 and its features, I love the look of the newer s197's as well. Do not get me wrong for I am not knocking the 2v's because I love them as well but a new and faster car seems more appealing. Also to get a car just because of sound is irrelevant IMO, you can always make a car sound better (of course you can not get a v8 growl) but I would take performance and modern technology any day over sound. I dont have to worry about the new 3.7 mustang anymore tho ....
