RE: It's a v6 after all
Even then, you couldn't drive on most beaches... but, I found one that day and went for it... There's nothing like going 80 at water's edge! I'll have to find a beach in Washington! I'm not far at all!
Those wheels were American Racing... probably why I went with the same brand again!

I agree with making your V6 faster, but when I see or hear someone talking about getting the grill and foglights from a V8, that's crossing the line. I'd rather be supprised by a V6 (obvious appearance) with a turbo, than see a "V8" (really a 6) and get let down. IMO, it gives the GT's a bad name.

I mean c'mon, anyone that hears my magnaflows will know it's a six. I know GT's that shave off the emblems and put in a V6 style grill, it goes both ways. Sorry, simply can't agree on this one.
PS. Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy the discussions here.

Now... I bought my 05 Mustang strictly for it's looks and more importantly it's color... I've always wanted a yellow mustang... I had a black 02 GT Vert... sorry, I just couldn't do Zinc Yellow... Now I tend to be that when I want something I want it NOW... so when I bought my V6 the GTs were still being really marked up... I will never pay over MSRP for a car... period.. So I opted for the V6 on X-Plan.. which means it would have cost me at least $8,000 more for a GT... Could have easily afforded it but like I said I wasn't paying over sticker... So everyone compliments me on my car and suggest I take it to the local car shows... something I've never done... Had a blast doing that all summer... however after the 1,000,000th time hearing "you should have bought a GT" I decided to make my car faster than a GT, which meant running the 1/4 in better than 13.5! So I am one of the few that said "I will be faster than a stock GT!" I viewed it as a challenge! So now the car has gone 13.41... (if you look a most stock GTs they seem to run more like upper 13s...) I can honestly say I'm faster than a stock GT... And I did it for less money than what it would have cost me to buy the GT!!! And I have a very unique, personalized vehicle... and I'm having an absolute blast doing it! More than likely if I had bought the GT it would have stayed 100% stock... I would have missed out on joys of Modding!!!
Can't wait for the car show season to start agan... Last year when say "you should have bought a GT" I simply smiled... Now I get to say "Why? I'm faster... and it was less money...." Maybe childish... but then again I'm a kid at heart! LOL!

You'll notice I've done everything possible to keep mine looking like a V6, except for the mustang side stripe... I've even still got a single exhaust (all though this may change in my quest for a better sound... LOL) So I guess you know that I agree with you on that item! And with the Zex there's no tell-tale whistling so hopefully you'll be really surprised! LOL!

If he has something constuctive to say, I'll listen, but so far he has just been stiring the pot.
