I get a lot of the "Oh, you should have got the V8" stuff too. I live in Georgia so all the rednecks with the jacked up trucks make fun of the 6, and think they're faster. They just don't know its potential. Some kid just got like 96-98 GT and was revving at me today, I wanted to take him so bad, I'm sure it would have been a close race. I'm getting a C&L CAI/93 tune soon so I can smoke him

I got the V6 because well...I was 16 when I got the car. 17 now, and it's got plenty of power for me. Insurance and gas are enough as it is, I don't need to pay more than I already do. I also like being the underdog for some reason.

Because of my age my friends give me the same thing. All that matters though is I got a nicer car then they did not. Most of them had old used cars. Mine was brand new. Also the people who I don't know that ask, I just say if you cant tell you don't need to know. What came down to my choice was nothing. My parents own the car, and I am very fortunate and proud that I own an american car with such history.

Exactly! I dont get why people are so closed minded about two cylinders.

rygen's right...

From the very first year of the Mustangs (64 1/2) they had 6 cyl (in line, not V).
They called it the secretary car, but it was there.

Why should it matter that all the short penises bash the sixxers?...
Line them up against the fazm (and others) of the world lol.

why am i glad i have a v6?

less engine parts to buy (things like headers, tons cheaper for us )
less pain at the pump
no **** ugly GT emblems
it was the only model i could find in windveil blue
supercharged v6ers are cheaper than stock gts and faster
theres alot more that i cant think of
