I'm not hating on the v6 guys, but who in their right mind would want to downgrade the Mustang to a pusstang?

My dilemma was similar, stripped down GT or a vert v6. I went for the vert. Many reasons why: lower insurance, lower car payments, but that was a minor factor, and also the vert came with everything I wanted, if I got the GT I wouldn't have been able to get all the options I got. Plus the best feeling in the world is when I look over at my friend in the passenger seat and they are smiling b/c its the first time they have rode in a vert. However, the extra power would be nice but I never go to the track and I figured I would do something stupid with it and ruin the rest of my life.
Not hatin on the seahawks fans, but I hope the Steelers and the Bus beat the heehawks in the SuperBowl.

I like the drop top option, but there's **NO WAY** I'd swap my GT for a V6. For me 1/2 the fun is the way it drives and 1/2 is the way it looks. Your GT isn't a vert, but it still looks EXCELLENT and drives waaay more fun.
Don't do it, you'll miss the GT, especially when you see them driving down the road past you...

V6 is a choice for those that don't care for performance and just care about looks only...... Even with the drop top.. the GT wins hands down IMHO.... BTW.. I traded my 03 Zinc Yellow GT premium vert for 05 GT premium coupe.... And I have not a single regret... Not even on nice days.... nnnyaah.... that's no regrets... and my parting shot; let me leave you this thought:
GT = Guy Car (Bullet, Apocolypse Now, Blues Brothers, Full Metal Jacket, etc...)
V6 = Chick Car (Pretty Woman, Driving Miss Daisy, Working Girl, etc...)

since you are a service mgr,you'll prolly have a ton of opportunities to get a new GT with the options you want. be patient or you might regret it. A-PLAN is awesome!!
P.S. To all the v6 bashers out there, remember there are a lot of members that have them and the mods on here will let you know about it :cop: :cop2:

I have only had mine for 4 days but I do know that there is no way I would be giving up my GT. I doubt very much that I NEED the full power potential that it has but it is sure nice to have. It is just so INSTANT!!!!! And...................the way it sounds when I start it up.................that GROWL........................I absolutely love it. I am going to have a hard time handing the keys over to my husband when he wants to take it for a drive.

Ok, I am going to buck the trend here. GO WITH THE VERT! Well, actually you should go with a GT vert. If, as you say, money is not an issue, then get yourself a GT drop-top. It is definitly the best of both worlds. That said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a V6 Mustang. Don't let those that call the V6 a "pusstang" or a "chick car" get under your skin. I have the same 4.0L engine in my Sport Trac, and when I need power, it provides it. I can imagine it would do even better in the lighter Mustang. My .02

I rented a V6 a couple months ago and its no "puss-stang". Try doing a uturn and punching the gas! They don't have as much power as a CURRENT GT but they are the highest powered 6 yet! A friend of mine has a 95 Cobra and I believe those only push out 240 hp (?). And the 6 you want is a convertible? Come on! With better options? What have you go to lose? You'll have better insurance rates, lower payments and still be behind a Stang. I'd take it any day.
