Default Suggestions?

I could use some help on making a decision. I own a 96 V6 Vert, and am thinking about trading it in for a GT. My car now only has about 65,000 miles and is in great shape. I would love to get a GT, but in the fall I will be driving a lot more. I'm wondering what you guys would do. Should I get the GT or should I just keep the six and just do a few mods to make it more like what I want (wheels, shifter, intake, pullies, exhaust, etc)? I'm considering keeping the six to keep the cheaper insurance and a little bit cheaper on gas. What would you guys/girls do?

please, please stop using gas as an excuse, 99% of the GTs on here get better milage then the V-6s, nanaki gets 23 with 3.73s and a vortech, i know i personally am getting less then that, no is what i would do is get a thunderbird SC supercharger for a couple hundred bucks, and hand 99-04 GTs their ***

that does sound like a very enticing idea. is there a thread about that or any idea what all would need to be done to make it work?

no doubt, GT. plus the verts hold their value a better than the coupes so if your car is in good shape you could get a couple grand for a trade in.

i got all the links in school, ill get them for you tomorrow, and you wont really hand them their ***, someone on 3.8 mustang ran 14.1X on stock 2.73 open diff and skinny azz tires, oh but you must add atleast GT take-offs or you will have tremendous back preasure

I figured I'd have to do atleast the exhaust, but thats not a problem, cuz its gonna be done in the next month or so anyway. Thanks in advance for those links too, this could be a real good solution for my dilemna.
