If you try to play in the snow you'll definately notice the throttle control in the TCS. I tried cutting doughnuts this winter with it on and the engine wouldn't rev passed 1500 to 2000 RPM's

Hmmmm, good question. I can't really remember. It was over 3-4 months ago that I got the insurance quotes on my car, and at the time I remember one of the agents telling me what the insurance difference was between the GT and V6... can't remember what it was, but I do know it was a hell of a lot more than 10 bucks a month (thinking between 50 and 100 but not sure). Even if it was only 10bucks extra a month, going from the V6 to the GT would be an extra $300+ a month payment alone (from what the Ford quoted me)! I'm already paying $500 a month as it is (and yes, even though it's $500 Cdn, you can't forget I get paid in Cdn dollars, so it's still relative). On top of all that, here in good old St. John's Newfoundland, with a couple oil rigs off our coast and one of the newest oil refineries on the Eastern seaboard only a 45min drive away, we pay $1.00 a litre for 87 octane gas ($3.79Cdn per US gallon, so approx $3 US a gallon) so there's all sorts of extra costs to consider between the GT and V6 here. Later.
Ouch, I heard you canadians do pay more for upkeep on cars up there after gas etc. Not sure if its true, but sounds like you like the car to pay as much as you do =)
