RE: I have to admit, the GT is smoking fast...
Having a 4.0 and 4.6 and talking to a couple diffenent mechanics I can add that the 6 is much more reliable than the V8. My own experience I've had coil problems(which the 4.0 doesn't have) and am still working on a #7 misfire problem that I haven't quite figured out yet plus plugs are known to shoot out of the 4.6 so from a reliability standpoint the V6 wins.

I test drove the GT manual and concluded that it was mostly the manual transmission that was impressing me most. The V8 doesn't have a huge amount more HP than the V6 and even the guy who sold me my PP thought so and bought himself a PP the following year rather than a GT. ...

amptor - you should have downshifted into 3rd @ 60 mph to experience the power!

Having owned both a v6 and a GT (manual)I would have to say that the difference is definately in the driveline. The stock GT shifts are much smoother and more solid. that having been said, I know someonewhois almost done with a conversion for the s197 v6's stock T5 to a TR6060.
Just google: tr6060 swap mustang v6
It's undeniable that the GT has more power, yes. But in my experience the v6 has the larger powerband. I used to feel the pull from 2500RPM on my 6-er. With the GT, I got almost nuthin until 3000 and it's not REALLY pulling until 3500.

I guess I got lucky
I have yet to drive a GT, but I wouldn't mind having one as a weekend car! My DD would still have to be my peppy little v6 though!
