I was j/k. My Cobra is a few steps below as far as design, in and out, no question. Performance wise it is no contest, the Cobra waxes the '05. But it is a no brainer if compared to the previous GT or Bullitt. Against the Mach 1 it is a lot closer.

I drove it hard and its response was great all around and did not noticed any trottle handicap. I was very impressed with the handling. It is a definite: the best GT ever and better than any Shelby (I can feel the flames coming ), with the exception of the hood and ducktail spoiler. Another 100 hp/torque, wider wheels/tires, a different hood, a dark green or blue exterior, an upgraded upholstery pattern, and it will be ecstasy in utopia.

 

V8 05 mustang

 

POS 04 mystichrome cobra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u should be banned for such a statement

 

If you have the moneys, go GT easily

 

I voted for the V8 but it all depends on what you need the car for. If its gonna be an everyday driver that you forsee leasing and trading in in a few years go for the V6 because of the gas mileage and lower car payment.

But if you want something for fun and you plan on keeping it for a while go with the V8. Just amke sure you don't buy a vehicle you can't afford and have to get rid of, that would be the pits.

 

V8 Of Course Of Course!

Why settle for T-bone when you can have prime rib?

 

V8 any day

drive hard or go home
what I say

 

We were very happy with the V6 we test drove, but for us it worth the $5000 to get a engine that is made in USA, that's just the way a Mustang should be IMHO.

 

What's a V6?

Just kidding; I rented a V6 05 down in Tampa over New Years, and it was still pretty impressive.

HOWEVER,

I just giggle every time I downshift and take off in my 05 GT! :drive:

 

if your finances can stretch to the GT, get it

 

Get the V8, if you can find one.

 

No offense but if you have to ask, go with the V-6 and you most likely wont be dissapointed.

 

V8 of course if you can swing the extra bucks. I wouldn't consider the V6 just because of better fuel economy. There's really not that big a difference between the two cars. Insurance is another story, not to mention the difference in initial cost.

Although I haven't driven a V6 yet, I would imagine that 210 hp will provide enough performance when need to keep a grin on your face. And if that's true, just imagine what a V8 will do!

I suggest you trot down to Hertz and rent a V6 for a weekend to help you decide.

Interestingly enough, I have only seen 4 new Mustangs in my small town and all were V6's. No GT spotting yet.

 

The 05 V6 will beat mid-80's Camaro's all day long.

 

Which isn't saying much, but I get your point Doug.

I know you're a long way away from driving, but have you ever considered how much insurance is going to cost you? It's OK. Just be patient and in time you too will have a Mustang GT.

 

How did you get a V6 for 14k??...Is that with the z/a-plan?

 

Thats how I think as well. Buy the top of the line of what you can afford.

 

Having a V8 is very costly. Gas and insurance both go up quite a bit. Make sure you can carry a V8 or your experience with the car will be soured

 

I'd choose V8. Tomorrow I'll write why =)

 

My first ponycar had a V-8. My next one will have a V-8. And the one after that(unless I find a REALLY good deal on a '89 Turbo T/A )...(you get the idea...)

If I'm worried about gas mileage, I'll drive my Nissan.
