v6's will always be v6's in the eyes of the insurance agents. I own a 2005 v6, partly because I would have had to waita little longer before I could afford the gt and also I wouldn't have been able to afford to modify the gt even if I waited. So you can either be one of those kids that buys a slower car and makes it faster, unique, and therefore "his/her" car. BTW, what kinda of car were you driving when you were 21? Oh, and as for the power, I have yet to be passed by any vehicle (except for a crotch rocket once, but I stayed right behind him). Maybe driving skill/***** counts for something?
Anywayze, to get back on track, I don't even have to take my car out of my driveway to get compliments on it and the only "GT" modification I have made to it is the grill/foglights (It doesn't look right without them). Basically just do what you want (as long as you don't tune up a F***ing pre-2006 civic)

now that's funny stuff right there

yeah i found the part about keeping up with a crotch rocket kinda funny too. i don't think there are to many mustangs that can keep up with me on my bike... i've gone 166mph an only had to slow down cuz of a curve the bike still had plenty left. maybe he keept up with a kawasaki (sp)ninja 600 i could belive that... maybe

You would be SO suprised if you only knew how old people are here on MF. I got my GT when I was 17. Most of the members I chat with are under 21. Im really glad that sixxers are part of the mustang family. I mean come on guys, they are what kept the legend alive. But I do not see buying a brand new one and trying to mod it. Let the fast stangs be V8's. Oh, and about the comment about you havnt been passed yet????? Have you had your car over a week? There are SO many cars that would eat you alive.

gas milage i get around 20, nanki gets 23 with a blower and 3.73s in a GT

and if 2 people get 30k to spend on a car including the car and mods, and take them both to the track to run them, im guessing if modded right the 6er would win
Surely you didn't just say that. Maybe I misunderstand the statement, but are you saying 2 people have $30k, one buys a V8, the other buys a V6, and you mod both, the V6 wins?

me personally, Im betting on the v8 with the 30K mods over the V6 with the same amount. (typing this while calling the bookie)

Ok, hubby wanted one so bad in 05 and got the V6 I was never impressed with the car but hey he liked it so......decided out of curiosity to test drive a 06 GT Saturday.......well needless to say we drove the GT home........no comparison.....I like the V6 but I love the GT, so much more power, and it rides smoother and sounds better.........so take it from someone who had the V6.....get the GT!

maybe a little less then that, but HP-$ amount would go to the 6er for total cost, the price diff between GT and 6er will get you a TT from tma turbo for the 6er and smoke the GT, now if you put a vortch on the GT and dont forg it you can run around 10 psi, you can run 17 through the essex

Go with the V8 bro. Only high school girls drive V6's that mommy and daddy buy them for their sweet 16. Everyone and their mother has a V6 too. You drive from point A to point B and guarantee you see at least 10 V6 ponys. You might see 1 or 2 V8's.
