The times, they are achangin'!
Used to be that v8ers were hatin' on the 6ers. Now we've come full circle, to the hilarious point of "... and the underdog 'sleeper' affect that my 4.0L stang brings. I can see myself making her a very quick car in the future and I will have personal satisfaction taking her to Gratiot and Woodward Ave. and spankin some V8 muscle (not to mention the rice). Last, but not least, I will have a very unique ride and not just another V8 GT"
I've never been a 6 hater (most 6ers here can vouch 4 that), but the above is a joke and needs addressing. First, considering many v8 owners will mod too, how do you plan on "spankin" them? Second, you mention your "very unique ride and not just another v8 GT". By this I can only assume you plan on making appearance mods in order to make your car stand out from the crowd, which is at odds with your "sleeper" comment.
To repeat what I've said many a time, there's nothing wrong with the v6 Mustang. It's the base model and looks as good as the v8. If that's what you're looking for, then it's an incredible deal. That said, it's not the same car as the GT (no, duh!). I've lost count of the number of times I've read "...I just don't need the power...", or, "...I didn't want to shell out for the GT...", only to be IMMEDIATELY followed by "...so then I bought the GT bumper, then the GT exhaust setup, then the GT badges, then did some performance mods..." (eg, see this thread).
Those who bought their v6's and pretty much enjoy it for what it is, bravo. Nice ride, NICE wheels (I always admire them as I pass a 6
), nice choice.
For those who saved a few grand, then promtply spent it trying to get their 6 to look and perform like a GT (but doesn't quite do either, and still requires the "...well, it's a v6, but I saved a bunch on the purchase and then modded it to LOOK like a v8. It's the only to go. Honest..." speech), well, to each their own.
