RE: v6 vs v8
id say go with the V-8, i had an 03 V6. when i bought it i thought this is the sh*t. could almost keep up with an old school 5.0. but then i saw the 96 cobra for sale and after i took it for a ripe i was like "OMG"this is fast. i have to buy this[8D]
and my insurance didnt really move, i think it went up $5 bucks a month
and sont forget the gas milage difference, not that inmortant, but just remember to to consider it in your budget.
good luck in what ever you do purchase

RE: v6 vs v8
I'm gonna go at this
"the need for speed" = GT / V8
This is my opinion, so quit the bitching if you disagree. Go test drive both, and if you're like me the v6 will feel underpowered. If you want a fast car, then you shouldn't consider the v6 as an option. V6 stangs are not fast cars, they are closer to a commuter car with a little bit of fun mixed in, like a monte carlo or buick. GT's won't blow your mind, but they are faster then 95-99% of the cars on the street. but seriously, a v6 stang is not really a stang (don't get angry, cause it's the turth!). It's the toned down version that Ford created to keep the girls happy. Get a v8, but you need to decide whether you want a stockish new stang or an older 5.0 or 4.6 to mod the **** out of.

RE: v6 vs v8
If you go with a V8 and you modify the sh*t out of it please respect and understand what the car will be capable of. I might be jumping to conclusuions but a 17yr old the drives a Land Rover and has $17,000 to spend usually means Mommy and Daddy will keep giving you money to wrap cars around trees that the rest of us have to work our butts of to afford. Sorry if I'm wrong but most 17yr olds don't drive Land Rovers and have 17grand.

RE: v6 vs v8
quit being a bitch and give the kid advice. don't nag like your his mommy. jealous SOB. why do people have to bitch when a young kid is asking for advice. Just cause his parents have a better life than you, you don't gotta bitch about it. go get more education instead. Mustangs are meant for young *** kids that wanna drive fast and have fun, that's why they're cheaper than eveything else. You act like he's done something wrong and should not be allowed to let his parents buy him a car. ***.
