    GT or V6?

    That's not bad. You have consider it's 11 years newer too though. :D I do think the 4.0 sounds good, but I don't know that it's GT sounding, if you know what I mean. It's hard to beat a V8 sound on a Mustang. I haven't driven a 4.0 stang yet, other than an auto. I need to drive a...

    GT or V6?

    I might be looking to trade my Mazda6 for a Mustang at some point. I was going to do it for a GT, but the trade will put me over $500 a month and I don't want to spend that much. I haven't driven a V6 manual Mustang yet. Would it be worth looking into one? I want sound and power, and I...

    Need info .. V6 manual MPG

    Yeah, I agree. The only way to get a real accurate read on that (that I know of) is to fill your tank, drive until 3/4 empty or more, then divide your miles driven on the Trip by the gallons you put in on the pump. The more miles you drive on that tank the more accurate your math will be...

    Need info .. V6 manual MPG

    The V8 gets the same or better mileage than that! Crazy. It mostly depends on how the driver drives, from my personal experience. Driving 55 vs 60 and flooring it from starts all effect gas mileage greatly. I usually squeeze more out of mine than on the stickers. I've never gotten sticker...

    Traction control

    Is it just like the '03 GT I had, where it shuts off some cylinders (or something like that) and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel(s)? I'm actually not sure if it turns off cylinders or not. That is just what I've heard somewhere on here. It may just severly retard the timing or...

    Possibly making a quick turn around.... :)

    Ha! Yeah. Why didn't I think of that? :D Hopefully it won't happen now that I've joked about it. :nono:

    Possibly making a quick turn around.... :)

    Good idea! Thanks. My thoughts are to look for a good used '06, as I liked that model more than the '05. I think the '05 will hold resale value more because it is a first year/model, but that's not a point for me with that car really. I might like to keep the Mustang for a long time and...

    Possibly making a quick turn around.... :)

    Made the choice. Decision time! I decided to keep the Mazda. It's a great car, just not a 300hp Mustang. I test drove an '06 and an '05 GT this weekend a lot. Great cars, and I'd buy one in a second if the situation were different. I don't want to spend over half a grand a month...

    Seeking pics of Tungsten Grey with Stripes?

    Tungsten Grey with black stripes Wow, ha ha. I'm looking at buying a GT right now, and the one I'm looking at is a 5 speed Tungsten Grey with Black stripes. I think it's one of the best looking stangs out there period. I think if it were an automatic I would've bought it already, just...

    Necessary mods?

    Sweet. I feel the same way so far, but I've only had it for a day so things can change. :) I really loved my '03 GT stock too, until I heard the MAC cat back on it. :D I don't want to go that loud again though. My original thoughts are a catted X pipe, as that'll free up flow but not...

    To those 'Stang owners with CORSA exhaust

    Isn't that the truth! :lol: Mustangs have a way of doing that to us.

    Necessary mods?

    I may be getting an '05 black GT this weekend. It's used with just over 10k miles on it. Are there any mods you guys would deem as necessary to make the car perform better, or is it great stock? To me it looks like Ford listened to folks and gave it the short throw shifter, mandrel bent...

    Possibly making a quick turn around.... :)

    Test driving a GT now. That's one of my reasons too! The manual mode of the 6i is very laggy on shifts. I guess it does it to be as smooth as possible. It is smooth for sure, but man. Not moving forward for a full second or even two sometimes... that's a little too smooth! All in all...

    Possibly making a quick turn around.... :)

    May do the test drive home thing. I may test drive home the GT today. I'll drive it around a little and make a decision hopefully tonight or tomorrow. :nice: I may keep the Mazda or I may go with the Stang. I will hopefully have chances later in life to get a Mustang if I don't get one...

    well, there goes my health...:(

    Man... taco bell isn't real mexican food. :( Sorry to bust that bubble. It's... americanized mexican food, at best! That being said, I love some of it. Actually, I get the #1 almost everytime I go in there too! :nice:

    How much should I pay for an 06 GT?

    Good info I wouldn't want to go over 72 months, definitely. Honestly I'm afraid I'll kill the car before then. I'll have to take very good care of it. The way I drive, in 5 years I'll put around 200k miles on it. But I can't afford less than the 6 year payments, so oh well! I think if I...

    How much should I pay for an 06 GT?

    I'm along the same lines as firefighterchri. I'm dealing right now on a GT, with a trade of an almost new car, looking at $510 a month for 72 months. Does this sound decent? The car is going for 27.7k at this point, before tax, tag, title. Opinions help from those who are already enjoying...
