from now on, anyone who hates the newer V6 for no particular reason other than it being v6, i'm gonna label him/her as a "redneck".
let's face it, the v6 with 305 hp makes it equivalent to a 335i, while the GT is equivalent to a M3. You don't see M3 guys hating on even the 328 with a 4 banger. Hating on a 305-HP engine for only having 6 cylinders is very much a redneck thing to do.
If you are so redneck then don't drive the new mustang, it's all modern technology in that modular v8 engine of yours, its light years ahead of the windsor.

Funny I don't see GT500 owners hating on the GT for only having 420Hp as the new GT500 has 650+, So why do some of the GT owners hate on the V6? Because there are so many that in fact kept the Mustang alive in hard times? Is it because we can enjoy our Mustangs with saving 10K in the process? I bet bottom to dollars that if any of the GT owners were with us at our purchase time with their open check book we would have bought the GT to keep them happy. Lets face it there are and have been a lot of fast 6 cyl cars out there that could and do spank the all mighty V8. Power to weight my friends.. power to weight. In fact I know some 4 cyl vehicles that would spank most v8 out there.. They happen to have only 2 wheels but again less pistons.. This is so much a dead horse (no pun intended) issue.. Kill it and let go for *hrist sake!!!

I have been around shows and been in the Mustang arena for many years. In fact I have take 1st place in shows with the Legend lime 06 I had. There have been a lot more V6 Mustangs sold than GT that's a fact!!! Ford has continue to sell what sells its about profit. If more GT sold than V6 they would have stopped making them and just made GT and above.

I think its hard to be a redneck in a cleanroom suit at a med tech company 
plus I do not like country music and I think thats a must when havign a neck of red.
so just to review..
v8 = redneck
v6 = save the rain forest.. sounds like you are a trade in away from a prius.

I didn't realize with the 36month 0% financing it's not actually so different each month.
But it's not like I don't have enough fun with my V6
. I mean, V8 is definitely more fun and especially with that sound. But if you owned a post 2010' V6 you would love it too.

I guess I am different. I could have bought a GT around the same price, but it would have been just a GT Premium. I opted for the overall package over a based Premium with a 5.0. As a DD I was not looking to have a GT. I weighed the factors, Where can I use the 420 HP, would the 15MPG in the city work into my budget etc.. People buy what they buy for various reasons. I think its unfounded to say everyone wants a GT and settles for the V6.

The older GT's yes. But they lack the torq that make driving a v8 fun. My 2007 mustang gt had the ford racing 550hp whipple kit and taping the go pedal was my favorite thing in the world. That crazy jump was like crack or meth.
