I'm going to. I'm obviously not going to pay MSRP but it's a v6 for me all the way.
The similarly optioned 5.0 is around $5k more. I drive a minimum of 90 miles a day so the 30ish MPG offered is fantastic.
I am also about to add my two (soon to be) 16 year old sons to my auto insurance.
So basically... this is the car for me.
a loaded 13 second car or a stripped down 12 second car?
I'll take the loaded 13 second car....with a V8. The 2010 GT is a couple thousand cheaper to start with, not to mention the thousands off you can get in factory and dealer discounts. The GTs also have better options than what are available in the V6. -Just my choice; and gas mileage wasn't my main concern.
Used is always an option too...in another year or two low mileage 5.0s will be showing up on the with huge discounts from what new MSRP was.
I think the MOST important thing (this is spoken from experience) is to get EXACTLY what you want.
Don't get the V6 because it's what you can afford. Get it because it's what you want to live with driving whether it's for gas mileage or other reasons. Tomorrow's low-mile 5.0 with nice steering wheel and other options will be available soon for today's new V6 prices. It's better to wait and get it mildly used...or to wait and save up more money towards a new one...than to buy something and regret it every time you see the neighbor's highly optioned GT.
yup. the mileage is what definitely sold me. now if only they didn't limit the cars at 113mph

There HAS to be a fix for that.. not yet???
The thing is.. I haven't even had this 5.0 past 90 yet.... I haven't been to the track yet. If you don't go to a track, I'd think a V6 would be fine (only the new V6 with the 300+ hp)... the ones before that... Yuck!
If anyone spends $29.3K for a V6, then they should just go ahead and buy the car shown in this vid for $189K that really does fly

OR get their head checked!
The v6 with the performance pack is what I've become interested in, but to hear that it costs close to 30 grand is disheartening. I wonder if there's any way of getting an almost no-option Mustang with the performance package being the only plus, maybe it wouldn't be so high?
You can get it for 25k with perf package.
I think you guys missed the point the OP was trying to make with this thread ... when you add the PP on the configurator, it removes the wheels altogether, so it better FLY as it has no rolling stock on the ground !!

lol, yeah. It's been fixed. I'm disappointed that the wheels have the "GT" emblazoned on them. I know they're the same wheels from the GT/CS but in the catalog the pics did have the "GT" on them.
