[blockquote] Hey everybody. I am a high school senior going to college in the fall and I plan to FINALLY get a mustang this summer. I want one from 94-04 with less than 80,000 mi. on it. Anways, the real question-GT or V6. My friend has a 2001 Bullitt and I love the torque. Its just the V6's are so much more affordable, but I hear they cost much more to modify. So which is the better investment, a little more for the GT for the horses and torque, or go with a V6 and build it up?? Thanks for any opinions.

Maybe get a quote from your insurance company to see how much difference a GT will cost over a V6?

Sure a V6 is cheaper, but then you need to pay to mod it just so it makes the SAME power as a GT.. what's the point?

And if you're gonna get a V6 then at LEAST get a 5 speed not an auto tranny

 

you're young so i'd do like grey suggested and check out insurance quotes. GT insurance might rape you but once you hit a certain age it drops to nearly nothing and costs like 10$ more than a v6.

i donno about the v6 costing 'more' to modify, but it will definately cost alot of money just to make a decent amount of power. i think a full bolton 99-04 v6 only puts down like 190rwhp. a stock gt puts 225ish down and has alot more torque. are you after this car for speed or just to have a mustang thats pretty quick?

 

if you plan on modifying the car the gt sounds like it would make the most sense. gas milage between the two isnt that different.

btw.....make sure its a 5-speed.

 

get the GT. i got one while i was in highschool..and yes the insurance is higher...but its sooooo worth it! and yes...get the 5 spd. i got an auto and regret it everyday. i will eventually get it converted to a manual. its just nice when a little civic comes next to you and revvs you already know you can take it and dont have to worry. youll be happier with the GT i think.

 

Go for the GT. If you get a sixxer you'll regret it everyday.

 

GT!! YOU GONA FINANCE IT? FULL COVERAGE WELL BE KINDA HIGH, BUT I THINK ITS WORTH IT FOR A GT.IF U DONT FINANCE IT OR GET A PERSONAL LOAN LIABILITY IS THE WAY TO GO. BESIDES ITS GONA COST SOME MONEY TO GET TO THE GT SPECS. AND U GOING TO COLLEGE I DOUBT YOULL HAVE THE TIME TO BE WORKING ON THE V6 TO BUILD IT UP. GT ALL THE WAY

 

Im 16 and have a GT. i dont pay insurance but i pay everything else and it isnt that bad!
Your a senior, you need a V8! and besides and good one is only like $10k

 

get a gt, v6's arent worth it and deff get a 5spd, autos are no fun, the insurance wont be bd, just do liability, not collision that will cut costs, so deff get a gt, and as for under 80k, ur gonna have to look 99-04 as a ton of the 94-98's have 100k + including mine which has 147k

 

Yeah I bet paying everything BUT insurence on a GT isn't that bad.. lol
