Come on that is biggest waste on a v6 i mean if you think about it 10k in a v6 you can have a fully loaded gt.tylers65 said:I don't think the point had anything to do with how many people would do it. The point is, that is what he would do.
If he wants to paint it purple with pink polka-dots, that is his business. It does not mean that he thinks everyone else will do it too.

That is the truth.. You are from tacoma huh??tylers65 said:I will not debate your opinion with you. It is, after all, your OPINION.
The whole point of his post was simple, GT performance with V6 insurance rates. If one does not wish to spend a lot of $$$ on insurance, but does want decent performance, then his plan is not all that bad. Is it what I would do? No. Is it what you would do? Obviously not. But just because your opinion is that his idea is stupid, does not mean that it is. That is the beauty of opinions and free will. He is free to do as he pleases no matter what your opinion is.

SVTdriver said:Boy did they get the article wrong or what. That has to be an old issue.
"the GTO will have a 240-hp version of the 5.7-liter, all-aluminum, OHV LS1 V8"
Or for the stang. "that includes an independent rear suspension on all models"

Yeah because they actually support the idea of a rear spoiler on a fwd car.
It seems you have a plan. A couple of questions. Exactly what is the insurance costs of the V-6 vs. V-8? You may need to sell it at some point. What is the difference in the resell of the V-6 vs. the GT? Is there good aftermarket availability of V-6 speed parts?torqueIT said:People keep telling me to get the V-8 for several grand more.
After seeing this post, it only emphasizes my decision on the V-6.
I'll wait till 2005 to get mine though, by that time, there's sure to be some people who went in for the V-6, only to change their minds and go for the V-8 (too lazy to truely mod it themselves). Get it used for 20% off the original retail price, then spend the extra 10 grand getting after market products,
Figure when all is said and done, for the same $25 grand someone dished out on a GT, I'll have a modded V-6 easily pushing out around 370-390 ft pds at the wheels!!! Plus have a lower insurance rate, better gas milage, and better 0-whatever times due to its lower weight!

According to a quick look at 1 & 2 yr. old Mustangs, I think you will be able to get a much better deal than 20% off original retail for a slightly used V-6. I have helped build a few "body-in-white" Mustangs. One of the biggest expenses is converting the V-6 brakes, rear diffs [gear set and axles], computer, etc. to V-8 specs. I'll admit the '05 may prove this past problem a less expensive conversion than previous year cars.
Good luck on the project and be sure and post some pics and dyno numbers
