Trying to get my g/f to trade in her 05 focus for a V6 stang. I think that would be cool the Guy gets the GT, the lady the V6. What a perfect world.

What kinda crap is that??!! I'll tell you what, the dealer gave us a V6 demo for the weekend while mine was in transit from GA, and I was NOT impressed. I would never have been happy with a V6.

and thats in someones house
apartment complex usually 1200-1400 a month for 1BR

ins on GT costs 27yr old male with clean license another 220 a month

gas is almost 3 bucks a gallon

sometimes we are happy to just have a mustang ;p

can't agree more. I'm out on long Island and between insurance, gas, rent, college and medical insurance no way I could have afforded a GT at this tiime yet the V6 dosn't let me down at all.

I'm not dissin the V6 by any means, just hate when people say girls should get a V6. I thought about getting a V6 for a brief moment, but knew I'd never be happy. I admire anyone who can own a stang in NYC, between gas and insurance and traffic and everything else!

Over New Years, the wife and I were in Tampa and rented a V6 for five days (mainly cause Hertz didn't have any GTs). We were very pleased with it.

But the plain truth is that I had not bought a new car in a very long time and I could now afford it, so if I was going to get one, it was going to be exactly what I wanted - no more, no less, and that meant a V8! I grew up with V8 Detroit iron and could never afford it then, so by golly that's what I wanted!

Sorry - that came off as rather pompous!

My point is just that the V6 '05 is still a heck of a car and I'd be happy with one; I just had to have the V8 for my own personal reasons.

dangit, I'm digging myself in deeper........ :bang:

PS Kevin... I'm not going toward the GT vs V6 debate... My problem is the pig headed sexist remarks about women should drive a V6!
