Or just tell them its an 8, if they can't tell by the styling, then they probably wouldn't be able to tell by the sound or speed either.

You don't have to defend yourselves or your cars to anyone. Who cares what people think or say.

Are you all enjoying your Mustang's??

I AM.

Have a great summer.

AMEN! It's YOUR car, as long as YOU are happy, great! But I do think it's common for every 6 owner to see an 8 and think, for just a second, "If only..." But that soon passes. It did with me. I love my car and all Mustangs. Besides...IMHO, the pony grille kicks the snot out of the GT grille. That's just me though.

The V8 and V6 S197 are great cars. The V6 and V8 in previous generations are great cars. Hell even the 4 banger versions are great cars. In summary, the stang is a great car. Cheers.
well said rygen. amen to that.

When it happens to me, I just pop the hood.... Amazing how fast the conversation changes.
I agree with GNARLY PONY "You don't have to defend yourself or your car to anyone. Who cares what people think"
I bought a 6 because that's what I wanted.

1) I am not in debt and I have a title in my hand,
2) I get better gas mileage than a v8,
3) I still get to the next red light at the same time as a v8,
and 4) I can make my v6 look like a v8 without paying a fortune, if I choose!

AMEN BROTHER!!
I've got total respect for sixers. Hell, I used to drive one and I hated how snooty people could be about it, even after I procharged it, but these four points are poor logic. Here's why:

1) My title is in hand as well. Everyone has a unique financial situation. Some people can comfortably afford a GT.
2) Not much.
3) Not if the GT puts the pedal down.
4) If you're proud to have a V6, then why would you want to?

I think you guys should be proud of the cars you have for what they are. I'll never knock a sixer for being a sixer, but don't knock the GTs to justify owning a six.
