Default finally decided.

hey guys i love my sixer....alot. but i was taking my car to a body shop to get fixed and i stopped by a performance parts/installation/ and dynotuning place called nextgen autosport. and they specialize in mustangs. they actually have a company 99 supercharged GT that they built up and it ran 11.5 at 120mph in the 1/4. anyways i was asking some questions and they eventually convinced me to trade in my sixer and pay the difference for a GT. and once i think about it, for what i want....i would be better off with a GT. the gas mileage couldnt be any worse than what i get (17mpg), i have more power to start with, i have a factory 8.8 rear end with a tlok on it, it sounds like a damn V8(cuz it is), it responds to mods better than a sixer, there are alot more parts openly available for the GT (eventhough there are alot for a sixer too), AND its a .....GT. so sorry guys im not happy about giving up on my sixer...but as soon as i get about 5K im trading my baby in.

damn man, i hope you get one that will look good w/ black rims. it would suck to have to get rid of the brand new wheels. the hp increase will be woth it no matter what though.

no i dont think so...he has a 05 V6....its stick...ive driven it...feels a bit peppier than ours lol...he just said the city sucks (which ive heard its a lot better than what he says) and the people aren't like the people in the bay....SLO is a LOT harder to get into than pomona....idk....their programs are pretty good though so if you can adapt to people you'll be fine
