Nah, if anything, just the general section so it gets more foot traffic from everyone... but now it would just be a double post. Also well.. the guys that have been on here for a while know what this usually turns into.

I agree. The first gen interior sucks so bad.

Also, I've had my moments where I wish I had gotten a v6 instead of my GT. It just that the first gen v6's look so crappy and have non of the handling upgrades. The 2nd gen v6 are highly improved over the 1st gen.

I love the retro interior look of the '05-'09 but they went so retro that it is a little too basic for this day and age. I'm not a fan of the blocky air vents in '10+ (reminds me of cars from the 80's) but everything inside is just much more refined.

I say get the GT. Better price and you get that take off torque at low RPMs.
All other benefits and advantages were already said in the threads before mine.

yeah I would go with the GT but I love the sound of the V8, plus I like the way the 05-09's look better. The biggest factor I see though is the cost between the 2 mustangs and the fact that the V8 doesnt have a lot of miles.

Lucky, I guess the creaking and squeaking doesn't bother you.
