Wow, I was way off! lol, though not a lot of people opt to buy a 6cyl outright. Sounds like you got a good idea your running with!

Incorrect. This has been covered a few (hundred) times.

You said the cost of your GT (before haggling and rebates) was 31k, That is 10k more than stick on my v6. Last time I checked superchargers were not 10k.

Carry on

31k with haggling/rebates? i didn't even haggle and got my 07 for 25k brand spanking new..sticker was 30k (it was the end of 07 and they had 08s on the lot already though) Patience is the key.. i wont be jumping on a 5.0 till I can get a reasonable deal.

Mr. Ugly

I went with a used V6 so that I could buy it outright and not have to pay all the extra interest.

Then I didn't feel bad when I wanted to get a few mods here and there.

Then I got out of control, haha. Still didn't put in too much money due to waiting on good deals.

Dude I have been debating the exact darn thing myself! I was considering going to the dealer and checking how much I can get at 2010GT for but the number just as they did when I bought my v6 dont add up! I was like, it's almost 6k to throw a s/c on my my car,maybe I cant use that cash on a new gt?? But getting the payments manageable isn't gonna happen! It makes more financial sense for me at this time to get the s/c and keep my dirt low ins payments. But Im still having trouble with the cost of the s/c or the fact that the 2011 stock v6 driven by a soccer mom is gonna toast me

I was more refering to what most of them had on the lots. Comparing a striped v6 to a pemium gt wouldnt be that fair.
When I bought my GT, most the GTs were equiped in the 29 to 31 range for non verts, most the 6cyl at the time were marked around 26. However the V6 were not as aggressively rebated so my 31 gt came out at about 27.5 where as the 6er would have only been nocked down to like 24.5.
At that time your talking about a 3k difference that you couldnt get a supercharger for, let alon suspension, body and brakes to match.

Not to say your wrong either, really all depends on the car and the time. At any given point either of us can be right dependending on pricing, I dont care how many threads were made.

Thats exactly my mindset minus the financing..Don't think I said it as precisely as you. But yeah, at least now I know and can stop driving my self nuts wondering if it would be worth it lol.

Basically if dealers weren't crooks and I could deal with Ford directly it would work easily. Toss a crook in the middle and forget it.

This is besides the point that i will lose all the money i've invested in mods and the extra cash I send every month!
I got a quote for a procharger for about 5.5k installed and custom tuned! If everything breaks right and I can convince myself to do it, I may pull the trigger mid summer..

Mr. Ugly

Well, no problem. Soccer moms aren't going to be looking around to lay the smackdown on anybody

I dunno man....Alot of 'em seem pretty heavy on the 'ole pedal at the lights lol. Too much to do and a migraine is dangerous business lol.
