RE: goodbye fellow v6 ers
I came close to doing the same thing myself a few weeks back but decided to wait for a chance to order a Cobra next summer. Enjoy the new horsepower and I will see you in my rear view mirror next summer!

i actually dove faster in the v6, but this might sound stupid but all i wanted was about 260 to 300 actual hp to the rear wheel. So you wont believe this but to not get into trouble and start doing things i shouldnt do, i sould my sct, everything else wouldnt work on the v8 so i sold it as well antway. im happy bone stock

Black Horse, I'm thinking seriously about trading my '05 V-6 for a '06 GT too. How did they treat you on the trade in? Also how much did the GT cost (if you don't mind me asking), ie. was it MSRP plus tax, title, etc?
I still owe 20,000 on my car & I hope they will get real close to that on a trade. (8K miles, Premium, Spoiler Package, Added White Stripes). I would remove the CAI & headers before I trade it.
When I bought my V-6 last November I got it for the beautiful body style & I thought the 4.0 was plenty fast. It is fast (my best is a 14.63 in quarter & 6.2 0 to 60), no matter what some may think, & I have outrun a few 5.0's & hung with a couple of 4.6's (I know not to jump on a 05 GT, Cobra, etc.). It's also put a few Civics & a Grand Prix in their place. But as I started adding stuff to my car I have been bitten by the performance bug & all I do is want more. I decided I am either going to Supercharge my 4.0 & change to 3.73 or 4.10's or get a new GT. There are plusses & minuses to each argument but I think the GT may be best for me. I still love my 4.0 though & I would love to have her as a 280 rwhp sleeper. I'm just a little worried about how the motor & rearend would stand up to supercharging.
