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.

and what is this about giving the "gt's a bad name"? in normal street driving how is anybody going to tell what size engine is in your car? i dont have gt fogs installed, and hell, lots of people come up to me and ask "do you have the 6 or 8 in there?" ...you know why? because most people have no clue what the foggs or duals mean
so please, keep your **** to yourself, because nobody cares for it
and no, if you are thinking this, i am not jealous of your gt, if i wanted one i would have it parked in my drive way by now

ok, i assume that you are new here and all, but generally we dont really do bashing on the 6ers in the 6ER SECTION so if you want to talk crap about us, please keep in in the gt section, because pretty much, i (and probably the rest of us, along with most 8ers) just dont want to hear it

What I cannot stand is the "posers"... if you like fog lights fine... (personally i don't)... but there are a number of people who will try to pass there V6 off as a GT... I would see them at the car shows... all dressed up on the outside.. but refused to open their hoods! LOL! I know one older V6... complete Rouch body kit... side exhausts... the whole 9 yards... but never opens his hood... dones want it to be completely obvious it's a V6...
The dealerships in the Detroit area were doing the same thing... you'ld see a big like of GT's out front... only thing missng was the fender emblem... hmmmmm... V6's dressed up as GTs in order to get you to stop in and look...
There was a modded V6 in a recent publication... looked very nice... but had friggin' Cobra emblems on the fender!
I say dress your car up any way you want... it's your car... I've personalized my car the way I've wanted with no regards to what others think... but it does bug me when I see people who have obviously made their car to look as much lik a GT as possible... If your going to customize your car, make it unique! LOL!

I would agree that most people have no idea how to tell the difference between my 6 and a GT by their outwards appearance.. I attend a lot of car shows... You would not believe the number of people who just assumed I had a V8.. I would say it had to be close to 80% or maybe even 90%... was really amazing... of course the reaction I would get when I informed them it was a V6 varied greatly... most were positive but there were quite a few people who immediately told me my car wasn't a real mustang since it was only a 6... I mean I could be talking to someone for a good 5 or 10 minutes about my car and they would be all ears... then I would say "No, it's a V6" and they would run away like I had the plague!! wait until they see me now... hehehehe... (There were only 2 shows left after I put in the Zex... amazing how that changed peoples attitudes... )

RE: It's a v6 after all
I really see no need to bash the V6 Mustang, it is a superb automobile. I was torn between the GT and the V6 and in the end, I ordered the GT only because I will only mildly mod it (at least through the warranty). I have so many modification plans for my garage queen, my Corvette. Most of my spare cash and time will go into modding it. My Mustang will serve as my daily driver. I am a car lover and I particularly love Mustangs (This will be fourth).
Those people that bash the V6 are immature, insecure, shallow people that have to step on others in order to make themselves feel better. I actually find it quite amusing.
I guess the best thing to do is try to refrain from "feeding the trolls".
By the way, I spend as much time in the V6 forum as I do the GT forum. You guys are doing some really cool things to your cars and I simply enjoy reading and watching your successes with your cars.
Keep it up![sm=icon_cheers.gif]

Does anyone know where I can get the pony emblems that don't have the pins. I really don't want to drill through my fender and I didn't care for the autobadges 4.0 emblems when I had them on my car.

You could always get the ones with the pins and just cut them off with a dremel tool or something. I think there are a few people on the boards that have done that.

I have the issue of Modified Mustangs that you referred to. I thought the car looked great till I saw the cobra fender emblems and GT trunk emblems as well.
