No, I'm not nuts, just trying to explore options.
We live in the Denver area, some dealers will get you a V8 stick GT car 2-3 month lead time, some will only order a 2006 some will claim to sell at MSRP, others will add a couple thou to MSRP. One dealer has at least 2 GT stick cars coming soon.
We can easily get one of these cars, we can pay cash, but need to finish selling the wife on the idea. I could.....
1.Bid and get a slightly used one off e-bay....maybe save a couple thou ?
2. Try and snap up one of the coming V8 GT stick cars to the particular for dealer, they appear to be selling at MSRP
3. Order one and see if I can get a 2005 and get at MSRP not above
4. Heres the cray idea and I would like input !
Some dealers are over-run with premium V6 cars here, they appear to be willing to deal to get rid of some. I could get a nicely equipped premium V6 for about 20 Grrr....saving myself 8 to 10 Grr over teh V8 GT car.
Would it be worth it to drop in a 4.6 crate motor from ford afterward ? Is the tranny, rear end, drive shaft etc different for the V6 vs the V8 ? How much can one get the 4.6 from Ford ? I know exhuast will run me a grand if I go with headers....what are your thoghts and experience ???
