V-6 is a waste of money - they have basically no resale value. Unless you dont care or your going to gut it and make a race car out of it, a v-6 is a bad option imo

Where did I ever mention that list was exclusively for mods. The 3.31 rearend is the stock rear end for my car, the 3.55 optional.

Well I would have to say GT all the way! I am having a problem with my 2001 GT so I would sell it cheap lol. It has air ride and everything.

I would say get a GT. I have a six and I don't regret owning it everyday... I am actually glad that I have a six right now. I couldn't imagine paying $3.50 a gallon ang getting an average of 20mpg right now(rough estimate).

Nearly everyone is going to tell you to get a GT because it is a V8. I will agree that the power is nice but check the insurance to make sure that it is not going to kill you. The GT's aren't that fast though. They are quick but by no means fast.

Well Chris,
I would have to beg to differ, my GT is fast. It is chipped and it has all the bells and whistles. The bad thing about that is the price for repairs. I store my car over the winter (Minnesota winters are to hard on cars). When I got in it to start it up this year, it wouldn't start. I think it is the ccrm (constant control relay module). The part alone is $144.00 and I don't even know if that is the problem for sure. I hate car repairs!!! As far as gas prices, it doesn't much matter what kind of gas mileage you get, it seems like we are always at the pumps. Q

Beg to differ about what? That your GT is fast? If it is stock or bolt-on then it isn't fast... Full Bolt-ons on the 2v getmaybe 300 crank hp. That is not fast. They are quick but nowhere near fast. Combining in town driving with highway driving and my V6 gets ok gas mileage.

Please don't bring the fact that I drive a V6 into the arguement. That would be embarrassing. I know what afast car feels like and a stock or bolt-on GT isn't fast...
