Find a used GT at a dealership, trade in your car, and invest the money youd spend on modding a V6 into getting a GT.

Lets see you get a fully loaded GT for that price. NOT going to happen.

Let's see, I have a fully loaded 06 V6 with the pony pacakge that I bought used with 8000 miles on it for 18,000 and I added a supercharger for $4000 that makes it $22,000.

Agreed, it's cheeper to put a supercharger on a V6 than buy a GT (and slightly faster). If you're going to do a GT conversion kit it's even price wise.
Plus the v6 pony weighs less than the GT so it handles better. It's a tough call, but made easier because I'm not going to put a GT conversion kit on, and there's about a $1000 hit on trading in a car.
I've been weighing trading my car for a new or used black GT/CS premium with a few more goodies but that would probably cost 13k if it's not gotten used. This way, I spend maybe 7k on all the mods and get a decent tan,then get a car that actually looks better.
Only thing I don't like are that the seats are from a v6 but you can option those seats on a GT... so they must be sporty.

Anyway, how hard is it to instal a limited slip differential? A this point I think I am going to go with CAI S/C LSD and Lightweight drive shaft.

Dropped it off at my Ford dealer in the morning, picked it up in the afternoon.

Can always get an rpcaster supercharger kit for ~$1100 last time I checked, then pick up an Eaton M90 on ebay for a few hundred. Slap it all together with some injectorsand booyakasha!
Edit: They sell new for $1495, but can be found on online classifieds for less!
