My wife and I stopped at a dealer today and test drove a 2006 Red GT with manual, interior upgrade package, leather seats with side airbagsand 4,000 miles. I didn't see if it had the shaker 500 or not.

My wife drove it first and scared the hell out of me when she took it thru 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears on a small 2 lane road. She said it felt almost as quick as her 2000 Corvette 6 speed convertible. Then I drove it and it did feel pretty quick. It was priced at $20,900.

The dealer said I could have it for $7,000 and my 2006 V6 auto Tungsten Grey coupe with Pony Package, Interior Upgrade package, leather GT take off seats and 14,000 miles. Does that sound like a fair price? I probably won't buy it but it but I was just wondering if it sounded like a good deal.

How much if anything do you owe on your car? If you are not upside down, which I am guessing you are not, then I would take the GT. If you are worried about gas mileage, the V6 only gets about 1-3 MPG more.

Why don't you just supercharge? Save yourself $3k+

I have given that serious consideration but I am not mechically inclined so I would spend another $800 or so to have it installed and then another $1000 for a GT take-off rear end with 411 gears and LSD and then $500 for an aluminum driveshaft and installation for both. By then I would probably be over the $7,000 in the trade.

but it would be cool to roll up at a track with v6 badges and still beat a gt.

get the GT with that you have such more potential for the future cause its already a 13 stock i think if not 14 flat

if speed is one of your motivations

What's the gas mileage difference with a supercharger?

I test drove a manual GT yesterday too. I liked it, much more ***** way up in the rpms, around town, it felt pretty much the same as the V6. Just curious, do you have any performance mods on your six? I do, and it really lets the six breath. No, it's not a GT, but it really closes the gap in the "seat of the pants dyno" department. The GT does have potential for greater gains with similar mods. I would like to try a GT with an intake and tune in it.

yeah, your right it will beat a stock GT, but what happens when the GT gets a similar idea?

Great deal. I traded my o6 v6 for a manual 05 GT. Love it. I'm not mechanically inclined so a trade to a GT made more sense to me. Mileage is about the same. Around town GT feels same as V6. Past 3k RPM there's no comparison.
