    Gt - Auto

    That is exactly what I've been thinking for so long, and on other cars as well! I've always wished that I could have SOME kind of transmission that could be driven either like a manual or automatic. But like you said, oh well, I guess it's too much to hope for. :rolleyes:

    Rented a V6 this weekend

    jfischer, how much did it cost for you to rent the Mustang, anyway, if you don't mind me asking? I wonder if a standard would even be available to rent. Probably not, huh? :shrug:

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    That IS hard to believe, but it must be possible. I wonder if it could happen in an auto? Actually, even averaging 21 MPG seems pretty good! Thanks again for all the input guys! :)

    Any ideas for a good vanity plate?

    If I could get 8 letters, I'd get LUVSTANG :lol: Reminds me of 'Bob and Tom's Tang song. :D

    Gt - Auto

    I haven't made the plunge yet, but I should probably get the automatic, as fun as the stick is to shift initially . I've had three vehicles that were manual. When I first got them I really liked them, and on the weekends when I was playing around, it was fun. But for daily driving, it was...

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    Thanks for the input, guys. Trent, do you think that was mostly highway or city? Comparitively speaking it sounds pretty good.

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    Hey, I'm sorry, I've done a search regarding this, but I was wondering if you guys/gals would post ===> your car V6/GT, auto/manual, and gas mileage. I'm just curious. Thanks :D

    Pics of mine finally!!!

    Wow, nice lookin ride, man! Still looking, I drove a V6 that color today. It was automatic and only a little over $21,000, which didn't seem like too bad of a price. Somehow it just doesn't look as good as your GT, though! :hail2:

    Got my car back from the body shop

    In the words of the infamous Cartman, that looks hella-cool! :D I'd like to see the whole package, as well, especially when you get that ducktail spoiler put on!

    Flowmaster Installed in V6!

    Way ta go, man! I wish I knew what it sounded like. I'd like to have a V6 if it sounded awesome enough. It's tough for me to accept things the way they are, since I drive a F150 with a V8 that has flowmasters, and it sounds awesome!

    How does V.8 compare to V.6?

    I agree with you, kevin. There are a lot of cars out there that would make a mustang V6 owner proud to have his/her car, IMHO anyway. I'm not so testosterone based that I would say only women drive certain cars, and what is that implying about women anyway? I've seen/heard certain women on the...

    Emotionally Distraught...

    I get 'emotionally distraught' over the simplest things myself, so if I were in your shoes, I'd be as bad, or worse! But like jlisle01 said, there's other ways of looking at things. I'm still waiting to make that purchase, myself, so I'll consider you one lucky stang owner when you get your car! :D

    How does V.8 compare to V.6?

    I believe that it depends on your perspective on whether the 05 V6 is really slow. Compared to a GT and other high-end cars, yes. And I know this thread IS comparing it to that. But doesn't it hold it's own against the average automobile out there today? And as far as your argument regarding...

    Any chance Ford new about the gas hike?

    Ha! You raise a good point. I hadn't even thought about that...

    Any chance Ford new about the gas hike?

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I'm just trying to figure out why there are so many V6's on the lots and no GT's! Went down to the local dealership today and there are 8 or 9 V6's down there. I guess there's not that much difference in gas mileage between a V6 and V8, anyway.

    Japanese Mustang!!!

    That's another reason I'm not jumping the gun and buying right now, besides the fact that I need to save some money anyway. There may not be another Camaro, but I've heard rumors and even heard outcries of 'keep the faith' from a certain person or two supposedly 'in the know' at GM. I'm finding...

    Why the price hike still?

    I can't find a GT around here, and I got this disturbing email today. :nonono: -------------------------------------------------------------- Reynolds Ford of Norman just received a 2005 Ford Mustang GT. The last one sold in just two hours. If you are interested is seeing, driving, or...
