front end V6 vs GT
checkout these 2 pics.
first pic: inset headlights, front brake duct vents (fake - but the after market will make functional or allow for a compact fog light installation here) , agressively shaped lower grill area, more muscular, larger opening main grill, front end very similar to the GT500...of course i'm describing the GT, right? No, that's the V6 version!
Whoa, I don't get it. The GT looks more refined and low key, kind of feline. In my opinion, even the wheels shown on these pics make the V6 have the trans-am race look and the GT is the 'touring car'. Strange but I say there may be lots of 2010 mustang customers swapping out GT parts and buying the V6 front ends. ironic, heh?

I'll never understand how a smiley face is aggressive, I agree it looks good but it doesn't say "aggression" to me.
I prefer the GT. If you prefer the V6, fine. Stop whining and buy a 6 or buy a 6 clip from KC.

The inset headlisght (which I dislike BTW) have nothing to do with model. They're the HIDs. The V6 will only have them with the HID option, and the GT will have them as well with the HID option.

Thanks for the heads up on the HID - I like 'em. I'll be waiting on the 2011/12 for the 5.0L engine and the V-6 front pieces too. The smile is usually on my face when I'm driving my current CS 'vert or when i'm looking at a happy GT500 smiling back at me.

I like them both. It's actually a little stupid to compare them with each other, since they serve different purposes.
That said, I think the GT looks like it wants to kick your *** while the V6 looks like it just wants a hug.
