^That was the case for me and my 2003GT. He says I earned it though, so I do my best by keeping a perfect record and all (knocks on wood)

I totally agree. I am 17 1/2 and got my v-6 this past summer. The deal was I could get a Mustang if for the first year of my licence I had no tickets and kept my grades a's and b's. I think all drivers need AT LEAST a year before they get a sportier car. I drove a 4 cyl ranger and really learned how to drive. Now, I am still very carefull and cautious on the road. Also, about moding. I think there is nothing wrong with it. I saved 7 grand going with a v6 and my insurance in low, only 15 more a month than my ranger was. I def want a fast car, and with the money I saved getting a 6 I could put a supercharger in, which is coming soon.

welllll, i drove around a suburban while i had my tewmps then when i turned 16 i bought my gt, i learned pretty much how to handle cars with it, now with just over 2 yaers of experience im glad i was able to get a car with some more power, because now i know how to handle that sort of car if i ever have to drive one, who knows if i will ever have to, but now seen as how it has rwd and a lot of torque u figure out how to really drive a stick in the winter and how to handle a car when your spinning or sliding, so i think any mustang investment is good, you just have to be carful of who your giving it to, or how you expect to be driving it

ORIGINAL: Dan02GT

I'm not impressed by someone spending a ton of money on a V6 or I4 to hang with my near stock GT. I could have found a far better investment

Don't drive like a retard and get tickets, your insurance rates will drop alittle every year after your 3rd year of driving.
what? You think buying a 24 thousand dollar car for 14s is a better investment then spending 10 grand on an eg/ek hatchback, doing a swap and turbo to get the same exact times? What's wrong with you Dan? [&:]

buzz: I'm 22 and I'm not interested in tire smoking, pavement burning torque everytime I step on the gas myself.

I get good mileage, I am a hell of a lot safer than any high powered RWD car in the snow or even rain, and my insurance is about 200 bucks cheaper per month than had i gotten an 00 GT.
