Default Wife wants to trade in her Pony for a GT....

Well guys, she hit me with this last night. She loves the Pony, even more so after I installed the muffler from my GT.
BUT, now she wants a GT, I want her to keep the V6, she is insane as it is the way she drives I can't imagine her with the GT.

So, since she normally gets whatever she wants, next year I'll probably get her one, help me come up with the words to talk her out of it.....

Simple.. call it stupid.... figure out how much you will lose in selling this car, and how much more you will put out. Then, put this money in investments for 30 years, and see how big it gets, and let her know she can retire 2 years sooner.

Did you get her a CAI nad tune yet? That can help a lot. Also, for $5500 or so, you can supercharge the car with a ProCharger (installed) and then she'll be faster than you. $5,500 is a LOT less than you will lose selling your current Stang and buying a new one.

ALSO.. in 2009 the new Stangs come out and again, the GT will have 350+ horses.

What's her reason for wanting the GT? Power? If that's the case, get her the tune and intake as well and that should keep her satisfied till you get get some FI in that.
