I had a 13 V6. Sounds really good with exhaust mods. I had Borla ATAKs and some other mods. Traded in a for a 16 GT. I did get the base. I just installed some leather takeoffs cost me about $500 since I did the install myself. Not too bad if you're somewhat handy. I also did the all the suspension mods as well. Leather was really the only thing I wanted. I wasn't going to pay the extra $4k. I can get the stereo upgraded with subs and amps that will sound 100x better the only thing I really lose is heated and cooled seats and MFT. I'd rather use the extra money on mods.

I'm selling some convertible leather takeoffs but you can search leather OEM on eBay and get them from there.

Yeah get an EB then pick up a nice amp and a graphic equalizer so you can tweak your exhaust so as you're driving around you'll think it sounds bad a$$.
Note... keep your windows up or you'll realize how lame it sounds to everyone else....
Electronic sound enhancement is a joke... IMO

Ok, so here comes the final decision #drumroll#

I just bought a GT :-D

I did a test drive in the EcoBoost and it is a nice car. The engine pulls very nicely and the car looks great (as they all do anyway). I have very high respect for the technology they put into it and the power and torque they get out of it. The V6 wasn't available because even though they had 75+ Mustangs on the lot and are the World Top 5 Roush dealer, not enough people wanted the V6 for them to have one in inventory. Then I made the mistake of driving the GT...
Combine that with a really good offer from the dealer and I decided that I'll add a little bit more "fulfilling a dream" to my commuter car purchase.

I went with the base version in guard metallic.



Thank you to everyone who chimed in, I really appreciate it!
