You see mainly was saying is everyone's life is different and so are the needs and budgets of those. This is why Ford and other have so many models to choose from. The same goes for the Mustang Market, for Ford to grab as much market share in this area they need to have different models and options, So tell me when you bought you GT were you just settling because you could not afford a GT500?

lol, I did not ever think I would want a car with 400hp, or 500 hp, or 650hp... well I realy like the shape of my 13' V6 with MCA package, maybe after I put 250Km on there in a few years I'll get another DD and drop a V8 in this car as a project on the side.

I could buy a GT500 if i really wanted it, but i thought 305 hp is already alot, consider my last car was not even 200 hp.

I understand and appreciate the reasons Ford makes the V6, economy versions of cars, but what I don't understand is this: If V6 owners are comfortable with their cars, why the need to defend the V6? At least once a day, there's a thread started or hijacked by the V6 v V8 arguments. If you like the car, and if it does what you want it to without having to have the V8, why should you care what anyone says about the V6? Why should you care what anyone else thinks about it? Seems the V6 guys on here are extra-touchy sometimes...for little reason. Just sayin'.

I wish the GT owners would get it and just appreciate the V6 as a full fledged Mustang just as the Boss, and GT500 owners don't rank on the GT's for being underpowered in their realm. I do not drive a Japanese car, I do not drive a Chevy or Mopar I drive and own Fords, I own a 305 HP Mustang (regardless of piston count) turn your Hate on the other guy, on the Heavy Mopar or ugly Camaro. This is "The MUSTANG Source" last time I looked at my VIN it clearly states "MUSTANG"!!!
