Compare apples to apples(same trans cars). People have pulled mid 14s out of a stock NPI GT(5 speed of course). Jesus driving has got what a super high 15 in a New Edge V6? Biggggggggg difference. Like I said NPIs are slow but not nearly as slow as most people think. When people think of NPIs for some reason all that pops up is some automatic comvertible with 200,000 miles owned by some Mexican ricer.

Insurance varies with driver - so it could go either way on that.Saying a V6 purchase was a terrible idea is just our opinion - and not true at all. A V6 can be the right purchase for some.
And a mild mod split port V6 will beat an auto non PI V8. So be careful when using the "RAPE" term. And the S197 4.0L cars will out run the fox 5.0L.

NPI GTs are slow but not that slow. A single-port V6 or even the newer V6s(in the New Edges) with an intake and exhaust will still get raped by a NPI GT.
Insurance is about the same between a V6 and a V8(especially since his is older) so your argument was weak. I think he's an ******* for talking to you like that but at the same time don't try to justify your purchase because I think it was a terrible idea.
the 96-98 gt's are slow a v6 from that time fram with a exhaust and a intake and a tuned engine could more than likely take out those gt's.

I have been debating this with my friend who owns a 98 gt while i own a 04 v6 he chastises me on the fact that i bought a v6 instead of a gt i told him for the money i save in insurance plus buying a car that is 6 years newer with some 70,000 less miles and cost the same as his car was a better deal plus people seem to think that a v6 no matter what the mods cannot beat a gt i disagree because what about ricers who are running 4 bangers that are posting low times and beating gt's
what do you guys think any helpfull arguments against him
