I am 16. Drive an '01 auto v6. Gotten 2 speeding tickets, one of which is off the record. I have the oportunity to sell my v6 and get a GT, which I would be paying the difference on and the difference on the insurance. I have $1,800 saved up.

My question is. Keep the v6, use that $1,800 towards wheels/tires/suspension, and make it look really good, OR, get the GT and have no money left over, but have a fast car.

What to do? Real opinions. Take all factors into consideration.

I would get the GT.
I had both a 2001 v6 and 2001 GT.. HUGE difference in power and quality.

you dont need a fast car man.... save your money for school or something.... if we tell u to get a gt and u wreck doing 130 showing out... that would suck

[GreenFaleen]

i mean for 1800 you can make a v6 pretty fast if speed is the only factor, but gas is going to be more on the gt, and personally i am not a huge fan of the 4.6 so im gonna say v6 use 1800 on performance

[HMUSN]

the GT only gets like 2 mpg worse than the v6.

the insurance is the same way... ask cricket.. he recently went from a v6 to a GT

I got lucky and kept both

Mp, thats just it. I wouldn't be an idiot, since I would be paying for part of it, haha. And Green, im not putting performance into the v6. Thought about it, don't want to, haha.

We'll arn't you special! haha. I talked to the insurance company and they said the difference is only $28 a month.

Get the GT, or hold on to your v6 and keep saving money.

its a gt... u will get stupid once or twice man... im saying i dont know u man.. and im not saying u would, but gts are alot faster than a sixer, there not godly fast. but they can sneak up on u in the rain if ur not carful, but if it were me i would get the gt if ur wanting a little more performance, and the gas milage isnt that bad if u dont beat on these cars... they have alottt more potintial than a sixer.. i dont care what any one says... yes u can make a 6 fast, but u can make an 8 faster

GT FTW, i would kick the V6 in a heart beat there will always be a chance to make/save more money next time you have 1800 saved you could put it in a GT man

[jdansby1]

Reg, thats how I feel. If I keep the v6, I would purely make it things I could take of and put on a new mustang aswell.

[B0B]

man you will have so much more fun in a manual GT than you do in your V6. i test drove a v6 when i very first started looking at mustangs and was like FUCK that. lol gt is the way to go. plus the aftermarket for gt's is HUGE

[TheUNZippee!]

Keep the V6, save your money, buy the GT when you have more money, and a couple more years driving experience under your belt.

[jdansby1]

Looks like most of you feel the same way I do! haha.

[jdansby1]

Except for Zip...trader.

[TheUNZippee!]

I'm not a trader, nor a traitor. Just experienced.

thats what i was trying to say but zip knows how to say it better,

[mpboy]

how long have u been driving man... a year or 2??

[jdansby1]

So I can't spell, haha. I don't know. I am a safe driver. I understand the fact that a car is a 3000 pound weapon. (thats how my mom put it, haha.) I have had 2 close calls including attempting to pass someone on the on ramp to the freeway nearly taking both of us off that very freeway. That will scare the speed out of you! haha.
