The 6 PP is plenty good but after a test drive in one it was not good enough for me.

I can't say $$$ is not an option because I'm pretty conservative w/ my finances but would you go for the GT? Another thing is I believe in karma and I don't want to jack with the dealer I'm currently working with, it just seems like a really good deal. Any advice will help!

Plus, it's headed your way, newpony13! New ETA is Jul-01-2012!

The 2010 GT's horsepower rating is 315hp, which is slightly more than the 3.7L V6's number.

The tuned v6's are a coin flip race with the 98-02 ls1 f body cars. They put down close to 300 at the wheels (tuned) giving the ls1 all it can handle in the 1/4 (mid 13s). They will smoke stock 2v& 3v mustangs .

No one has asked, but what other options did you order on the V6 PP? And is the GT completely base, with no other options (Brembo package, tech package, etc)?
