Wow. Those are quick numbers for mag times.

makes me sad that the v6 has more power than my gt, and is lighter than the old 6.

makes me mad that im gonna have to TRY to keep up with sixxers now...guess i'll just have to swap in the 5.0 and smoke em

Here's another take...

My lightly modded '03 GT as it sits is worth maybe $7,500, the 2011 V-6 linked to is $25,400.

$25,400 - $7,500 = $17,900; $17.9k + tax and title = $19.1k...

If it were to happen, my '03 GT + $19.1k = watch out almost anything on the road...

Thats what I keep telling myself too. I don't want to be sentenced to another 5 year loan at this point.

This frustrates me. But at the end of the day I still will need more than 20k to compete here in town. To be known you need over 1000 rwhp. Look at these two guys...

I'd sooner pay the extra 5k for the GT that already has 3.73's, 6 speed, and all that power. I think that if i bought that car, i'd do nothing but suspension stuff to it. enough power already, maybe exhaust and a tune, but thats it. and probably up the gear to 4.30's.

I agree, buying new cars is sometimes not the best investment. I would still buy an '03-'04 Cobra with those kind of numbers and pulley/chip and call it a day. But buying a new car and having something different is a different feeling than modding something you have had forever. Some people will spend untold fortunes on cars, then sell it for nothing and get something different, just because it got old. And the chances of having 20k to blow on a car at once, or getting a loan for parts, is unlikely.

The logic is there, but the money usually never is. That's why people finance, and that's how people get into unnecessary debt.

If your worried about losing just done race them lol. Oh well it was going to happen sooner or later.
