shame

RE: shame
For me, I am 26 years old and this is my very first V6 car I have ever owned. Every car, SUV, and truck I have ever owned has been a V8 and to be honest, I went mustang shopping set on a GT. My wife's explorer was the first V6 I had ever bought or even really drove, even though it was very rare for me to drive it. I liked the 4.0 L and because of that the fourth mustang I looked at and test drove was a 2006 vista blue V6 w/ pony package. Now its mine. I am very happy with the choice I made and I could care less what anyone else says. Yes every single person I know asked "why didn't you get a GT?" my normal response is " I really like your GT". Which I don't know anyone as a friend of mine who even owns a mustang let alone a GT. We are enthusiast of a car, who cars if its a GT or a V6. If a see a nice 68 thats a V6 I don't really car that its a 6er or a V8. I care its a stang. I love both cars GT's and V6's. Both especially on this production run 05-current are awesome cars.

RE: shame
There was an article in a mustang magazine (I forget which one) shortly after the new body style came out saying that if you were going to modify a mustang the v6 was the way to go unless you wanted a full out race car. Realistically who needs 500 horsepower in a daily driver unless you go to the track quite often?

RE: shame
I understand what you guys are saying (I am one of "those" people who traded for a GT) - I LOVED my V6er pony package; the problem was I got a lemon. I had it 3 mos and it was in the shop 12 of those 90 days. It was actually in the shop when I traded it (had no tranny in it). I traded for the GT b/c it has a different tranny (and I love the power); all my probs w/ my V6 were coming from the tranny and 3 tranny's later they still couldn't figure out what was wrong w/ it. I will never bash a V6 or anyone who owns one b/c mine was a beaut!! I actually like the grill on my pony package better than my GT grill. So I am not a "traitor" to the V6er's, just had a bad experience w/ mine. Just my 2 cents

In my state I was 10 more days and 2 more visits away from using the lemon law and I would have gotten what I paid less "usage allowance" so basically I probably would have gotten what I got for the trade-in. Trust me, if this 0% deal hadn't come along I would have waited and used the lemon law; I just couldn't wait (I have no doubt I would have hit the 10 days and 2 more visits before this winter!).
