Worth it?


First let me say clearly NO I DONT WANT A GT. Now lets get to the point. Would it be worth it for me to trade in my 2004 for a 2005,2006 v6 just for the looks? or not

^ bolt ons dont do much without a tune so you know...unless its a forced induction bolt on or nitrous...which will have a noticeable gain but room for more power with a tune as well....and just think they have 17hp extra the crank that you dont have and they are stock...plus the trq they have is more...though i believe their car weighs a tad more (05+ V6s over 99-04s) but not to much probably to make a huge difference...

If you like the looks of the new bodies, get one. The new models are tons quicker than an 04 in stock category. I have the V6 because I put on 30K+ a year to and from work + other excursions. Retire Sept 08 and will look forward to finding a used 05, 06 GT driven by a 40+ year old.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

In any case, the center has changed quite a bit over the years. Cup holders changed, audio setup changed, dash setup went digital, clock removed, flippy cup holder removed, and a couple of other minor changes. Still basically the same thing, yeah, but I stand by my first statement! Frankly, I think the SN-95 interior is/was one of the best in its class for years...

Hand held tuners are usually a pre loaded setup...then u can also mess with different things....


then theres a dyno tune...which obviously the car is being tuned on the dyno

then you can also run a laptop to your car with the right setup...such as a stand alone...and tune shit ur self as well making adjustments

because that was the best interior for a while...and since 94-04s are all sn95's it cheaper for them as well...they did a good job with the interior in that frame...thats why I see Fox bodys and older 4 eyed stangs with that interior from the Sn95s swapped into it...with some fitting of course
