I'm in the same boat as you, OP (Well, almost). I'm expecting $$$ from a settlement (car accident) and looked into trading my sixxer in for a GT or Supercharging my baby. After MUCH, MUCH thought, I finally decided to X-Charge her (When I get the dough). Like others have said, It's not everyday you see a supercharged v6 (Hell, supercharged ANYTHING). Good luck with your decision and be proud of whatever it is you choose to do

I have 2 friends with nice GT's, and everytime we go to a car show they walk passed thiers and look right at mine.
Doesn't matter if it is a 6er or not, it's a SUPERCHARGER!
But realistically, a HIPO X with a 2.8 pulley is going to give you all the power you want, when you want it, and still keep a nice drive out of the boost. Add a few supporting mods and you have a 12-13 sec strip car, and a lot of looks

350HP sound pretty pleasing so far, any higher and i would definitely sell and get a GT. From a GT HP is almost limitless, but pricey and not meant for a DD nor is it practical.
But then again the X starts to sound unpractical because of its cost, i could just get a GT for the same price and a little less HP. But the V8 grumble and power potential is there.
This is the same place I've always gotten stuck at; which way left or right? GT or SUPERCHARGED V6? So i just wanted to see what other people's reasoning were when they decided what road to go down.

If I were in your shoes I'd defintely supercharge your current car. You own it, you know it inside and out. Buying a used car is always a risk since you don't know it's history. Your car will be much more 'you' with F/I rather than a stock GT which are a dime a dozen. Less weight on the nose helps a ton. Truthfully between our 2 cars, the six is way better to drive everyday. I drove the silver car yesterday, it is an amazing car to drive. Flickable is a good term for it.
The only thing you won't have is the V8 exhaust note, and the potential to go up over 350 hp sometime down the road. To me the plusses far outweigh the minuses but in the end it really has to come down to what you really want. Good luck, I know this probably didn't help much, but it's a different perspective from someone who has both cars, and why I do have both cars.

So I had to take it back to discount tire and have them rotate it the correct way.
directional tires have to be pulled off and remounted to be rotated.

I thought you could hit high 12's with a water/meth kit?
