Yea, I know how that goes. She wants it for power, ask her if she would like to build a sleeper? Powerhouse Turbo will eat other stock cars for breakfast, even the GT in 2009.
Get her a XM radio, stripes and wheels on top of that.
The last thing I want is her in a faster car, if I had a choice I'd put in the 1997 PI 4.6 and MAC mufflers and call it a day, same HP plus V8 sound and she is no more dangerous than she is in the V6.

When I put XM in my wifes truck, she feel in love with it all over again. Since then shes been keeping it clean, washed and waxed. Sometimes with wives, its the little things.
And yes, I'm with you, its a partnership, you don't tell her "no" like you would a child.

Ah, ok. Well check out my flows. They may be good enough to satisfy her thirst for a good sound.

OK.....you guys need a reality check....a woman can handle a GT and she can make her own decisions and if she contributes to the income and you can afford the trade then I say let her have a freakin GT.....and you let my husband try some of you guys neanderthal tactics on me and I'll hand him his balls.................but my husband is smart enough to know how to talk me in or out of anything using charm not muscle.......sometimes time has a way of changing our minds but being told no sure won't........so use a little charm.....
WOW....how does that saying go?? Something, something about a woman scorned?? (or something like that!) (jk-stangmomasc)

I agree with everything you said, but I don't think he was implying she couldn't drive because she was a woman. Diving ability has nothing to do with gender, I think it was her abilities specifically that concerned him.

PERSONALY, rygens exhaust sounds better than ANY v8 i've heard, get her rygens exhaust system and a tune
Paul
Thanks man. I think the V8 sounds better, but I appreciate the compliment.
not a problem, i layed awake crying for 3 weeks after listening to ur sound clip, i just spent over 550 on my exhaust that sounds like crap, oh well. GT takesoffs are arriving in a few days from diversified marketing so, should sound pretty good anyways.
lol, my bro inlaw has an 06 gt v8, sounds beautiful and mean, his friend has one with custom exhaust (dunno what 1 tho) and i STILL think ry's v6 would win a sound clip tourny.

Agreed 100%, my wife and I are a team and I can be a Neanderthall, just ask Traken but I do respect her and we make decisions together. I prefer to keep her happy because as you know, pissing off the wife only gets a guy one thing, and it's never positive.
I think she will stick with the V6, she loves it but I think she is just going through a phase of I want something more, not better mind you, just more, she thinks my GT sounds awesome and knows her car can't sound like that. I'm going to find out tonight if she is serious or just playing me, because you know how women love to test guys and play with our heads.

Nope, Congress wrote a law, a V6 can't sound as good as a V8, I'm almost positive of it... if not, they should.. I have to admit, the 4.0 has a distinctive sound that most V6's can't duplicate, very good sounding engine indeed! BUT, not as good as a GT...
