Should I trade my '06 GT for a 5.0?
I just got my '06 GT in March, but ever since I rented a 2012 GT, the power difference just keeps tempting me to trade mine in and get a 5.0 now. I don't want a brand new one (not a fan of the 2013 styling) but a used 2011 or 2012 6 speed would be what I'm looking for. My current car is an automatic and I think the manual would be more fun. I wasn't picky on the transmission when I got my '06 because it had everything else I wanted and I was upgrading from a Saturn SL1, haha. What do you guys think?

Ah, I got a chance to rent the new GT-H in Vegas, but what a difference between then and now. Did they disable the advance track button on the new 5.0 as well? Anyway, I can't imagine you would ever regret that move if it is financially sensible for you.

Is that the button that lets you put the car in sport mode? If so, then no, I could still change that.

I like your reasoning of buying used. Smart.
If you can locate the color/options you're looking for, go for it. You're in a good position in that you have a Mustang, so you can take your time. There are tons of 5.0's out there on the market. Many more to come when the new 2015 model arrives, so your selection will get better.

This is what I've been lusting after...
All of the appearance mods I've been doing to my '06 have been me trying to make it look like the '10-12 styling and the power doesn't even compare.
