I'm not ragging on anybody for buying a V6...but Ford could of done us all a favour and kept it GT, Boss, Shelby.

MakotoS13 said:fast? this is the first quick STOCK non-subdivision (SVT or SVT or shelby etc) that IS quick and there you wanna talk like there's a huge history of mindblowing performance regarding the mustang...
it isn't a fuggin vette, its a good all around car that's affordable... THAT's the point. if the V6 didn't exist the GT wouldn't exist because the V6 is what most people buy.
so, chuckles, put that in your pipe and smoke it all the way down the sidewalk.
p.s. don't even bother replying, my logic is sound and yours is based on bragging. you lose, i win, game over, go home.
well yes i flung insults back because as i seen it you insulted us V-6 owners, why do you even bother coming into the V-6 forum area? to hate or to offer information.Nick85 said:Typical message board garbage. I make a point that Ford should of never made the V6 and you come out with personal insults. For the guy who says the modded V6 could beat my GT....I don't think so. Also your business theories are false. The American economy is strong, people have money...just look how many 3 series BMW's you have flying around. Point being...if Mustang built the GT as the base model....chances are the V6 buyers would of forked over the extra bucks for that model. You think i'm wrong? Why doesn't Mercedes have a 19K car? They don't need to...the cars they make are good enough that people are willing to pay for it. The same would of worked our for the Mustang. The legacy is far too strong for sales to flop. Oh and my throne is very comfortable
I recommend that you stick with the GT boards and leave us alone. None of us is interested in listening to more of the V6 vs. GT blurb.Nick85 said:Typical message board garbage.

stanmckinney said:The Camaros and Firebirds are no longer made because GM focused on the V8. That's not what the majority of the people wanted. Ford builds the V6 for the masses and that makes it profitable to also build a V8.
So V8 owners owe a lot to V6 owners. And that's the truth.
Nick85 said:Cute reply...but sticking your fingers in your ears and singing doesn't change the truth. Dogmatic doesn't even begin to describe you. Regardless, the fact is that the GT is a serious performer. With an inexpensive CAI/new exhaust system/and a simple tune up you have a 370hp monster with a 0-60 of 4.7 seconds. Believe it or not that is M3 territory. Anyway who cares..when I have my Saleen supercharger and 500hp they will all be dust. One more thing...try not to reference Corvette as the ultimate sports car...it's very guido.

1 - always wanted a Mustang
2 - it's what we can afford
3 - insurance
4 - looks just as good as a GT goin down the road
I don't care if ya have a V6 or a GT, it's a Mustang and that's all that matters. Have a nice day.
Mercedes sells because of one thing: consumer response to successful branding. They make a very good product and they sell a brand that people want, that is the operative word here, consumers desperately want to be asociated with that brand.Nick85 said:Typical message board garbage.

liimey said:Hi,
Well I drove both cars back to back to attempt to evulate the value for the money on the GT. To be honest, I did not find too much difference, certainly not 90 horses different. I did the same test several times before deciding and eventually went for the V6, as it proved ,in my opinion the better value of vehicle.
Now I am not a speed demon or anything, but I do like my power, but good looks are important as well. So I have since purchased some goodies. Red Racing stripe, 20" wheels, Eibach lowered sprint kit and most recently, just picked up the SCT xcalibrator 2 with 2 factory tunes. Addes 11 horses to the car and a further 10 when my Steeda cold air kit arrives. Just as important the lame " factory setting" for throttle, rev limiter have been replaced and I swear it is a diffrent beast altogether.
To sum up:
Mustang V6 convertable $30,000 ( CAD $)
Sct Xcalibrator 2 $500(CAD$)
Steeda cold air kit $350 (CAD$)
equals FANTASTIC VALUE AND GREAT POWER
