Compliment from a GT

RE: Compliment from a GT
if i could have found a gt for sale around here that wasn't over-priced i would have got it for sure...the difference in my insurance would have only been $10 a month....plus i usually only get 20 mpg anyway, so might as well have splurged a lil....and actually i was impressed with the v6.....i figured it'd be a pooch, but not too bad

Actually, they were usually of older age...say 30+.

At least I'm not "ancient" yet...

PS: I've found most negative comments "brand" specific, Chevy vs Ford, etc.

I've owned "lesser" cars and it sucks. That is why we bought a GT. I still feel inadequate when sitting next to a Saleen or a Shelby or a 500. Any Mustang gets my attention going down the road, then we all look to see what KIND of Mustang it is. You see, not all Mustangs were created equal. So to say a Mustang is a Mustang isn't entirely true. If a 6 banger is all you can afford, or want to afford, then good for you. Just know that GT owners made their decision based on many factors.

RE: Compliment from a GT
It's not too hard to understand that the Pony and the GT are different cars.
In my mind, until we acknowledge this and discontinue our cry that a Mustang is a Mustang, we will always be "ragged on" by GT owners.
I am proud that my Mustang has a V6, which is plenty of power for my purpose.
I like the visual simplicity of a stock V6.
I like that it is less expensive to insure.
I like that the engine is durable.
I like that it carries the Pony emblem that represents over 40 years of the classic American Icon.
I like that the price is a bargain for such an Icon.
And I don't try to pretend that it is a powerful car, or a race car, or a drag car, or a GT.
It is a V6 Mustang with a trouble-free, tried-and-true American V6, built for the common American citizen.

However, it is not pretending that the V6 is a powerful car, because it IS a powerful car. Rated as one of the fastest V6 under 20k, and has tons of power. Keep in mind the 4.0 V6 is faster than some previous GT version Mustangs.
The V6 has good gas mileage, and great performance, and I got the body style I wanted. With a few mods I get the car I wanted, I do need a GT, the ONLY reason I would buy a GT is for the sound, and that's just not worth the $$$ in my opinion. If I were to spend the money I would go straight to a Shelby or GT500, and that just wouldn't be worth it as a DD.

RE: Compliment from a GT
was that previous poster seriously trying to say that a mustang is NOT a mustang?
"until we acknowledge this and discontinue our cry that a Mustang is a Mustang, we will always be "ragged on" by GT owners."
i dont know about you, but the title/insurance policy to my car says 2008 Ford Mustang

Probably. It all started the 1st time I watched "Deep Throat".
