2010 V8 vs V6 11' Performance pack.... decisions

hornstang · March 22nd, 2011, 04:35 PM

Hey guys new to this site, but i've been lurking for months drooling over the new engines and chassis that ford has come up with .Rewind back to 2004 detriot auto show i was all over the new camarobut the darn thing is a boat. i really want the 5.0 put i believe its just out of my budget.
So im faced with the decission of 2011 V6 performance pack, premium. Or 2010 GT premium, they have 4 5spds GT's left at a dealer nearby two colors they got GT are white and red (but love the saddle interior in the white). Coming out of a honda accord v6, either of these cars would be a huge step up.
GT +/-
+ sound (nothing like v8)
+ tq
- 25 vs 29 mpg
- v6 performance package went faster around car and drivers lightning faster than the 2010 v8 by .8 seconds. (3:12.5 vs 3:13.3)

and is the track pack v6 also limited to 114mph?

PLease input would be greatly appreciated..... Hope to be an official Mustang member real soon.

uhhh since u want the 5.0 just wait till u can get a 5.0

DONT cut corners now and cheap out, cuz ur gonna dump lots of money into the v6 or the 2010 v8 and at the end of the day ur gonna punch urself and say wow with all the money i spend on goodies i coulda bought a 2011 5.0

TRUST ME

all i ever wanted was my 89 5.0 GT and i almost cheaped out and bought an 87 5.0 LX hatch (uhhh)

im so happy i DIDnt and u will be too

get an older mustang to hold you over until you can afford the new 5.0 =]

honestly had the same problem bro and last july i ended up picking up a brand new 2010 mustang gt 5 speed. Love it bro!! The 2011 v6 is a great buy, but it's never going to be a v8 or exactly what you wanted.
