Well guys, she hit me with this last night. She loves the Pony, even more so after I installed the muffler from my GT.
BUT, now she wants a GT, I want her to keep the V6, she is insane as it is the way she drives I can't imagine her with the GT.

So, since she normally gets whatever she wants, next year I'll probably get her one, help me come up with the words to talk her out of it.....

http://www.radiofun.homestead.com/100_1676.JPG

Tell her she has to pay for it! :)

Yeah, tried that, imagine her response....[:o]

Simple.. call it stupid.... figure out how much you will lose in selling this car, and how much more you will put out. Then, put this money in investments for 30 years, and see how big it gets, and let her know she can retire 2 years sooner.

Did you get her a CAI nad tune yet? That can help a lot. Also, for $5500 or so, you can supercharge the car with a ProCharger (installed) and then she'll be faster than you. $5,500 is a LOT less than you will lose selling your current Stang and buying a new one.

ALSO.. in 2009 the new Stangs come out and again, the GT will have 350+ horses.

So, how long were you cut off for? LOL

Trade her for your GT; you'll save a bundle and she'll oue you big-time!

how about, "you cant have a gt, shut it or i'll cut ya"

you could always slap a supercharger on the 6!

What's her reason for wanting the GT? Power? If that's the case, get her the tune and intake as well and that should keep her satisfied till you get get some FI in that. :D

take your skirt off and put some pants on and tell her "NO".... if she wants a GT, she can pay for it...

Tell her she'll be gaining .6 of a liter. Big deal. Less mileage more insurance? Why???

look her in the eye, laugh, bitch slap her, then tell her to go make you dinner.

I think you should get her the GT [sm=smiley20.gif]

She should be happy with what she has. Youll get no money if you trade her car in. Tell her to wait til 09!

1 word..... or name....or something: Ebay

1. take her car one day, tell her ur gonna trade it in
2. have some GT takeoff body parts shipped to ur workplace
3. Install the GT parts away from home
4. wash the car, clean out the inside, maybe spray a special fragrance??
5. and yeah maybe install intake/tune.......S/C?? who knows
6. Return the car home with a big smile
7. Enjoy nice evenings in the bedroom until she looks under the hood :D

LMAO...holy sh!t, that was funny.

Nothing wrong with getting a GT, but you already have one. Buy some mods for it, a CAI/Tune from Doug or Lidio make a night/day difference in the car. Then take her to a bed and breakfast and spoil her. Tell her with the money you save, you can spend on her vs. a GT.

Or, just get the GT, nothing wrong with it.

Agreed, however remember, female, which means logic, what's that? She's got it in her head now... I think if I just ignore it for awhile she may ease off... hmmmmm

She has this thing for the way mine sounds with the MAC's, the V6 as much as I like it will never sound as good as the V8, just my humble opinion. You met her, you saw her eyes when I mentioned upgrading her exhaust, she loved it, but she likes mine better I guess.

I think it's a phase, I'll talk to her tonight, I thought about ignoring it for awhile, bad idea. I'll explain how a CAI and tune will not only increase HP but MPG as well. But she is stuck on the GT's sound right now.... she could be playing me too, who knows. ;)

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.

Last time I checked I was her husband, not her father.... and she does help, her income goes to the same bills. ;)

Ah, I see. Check my web site and listen to my dual flowmaster american thunders. It dosent sound like a V8, but it still sounds muscle.

Otherwise, best of luck to you.

When she wants to drive the GT just let her drive yours and vise versa.

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.

PERSONALY, rygens exhaust sounds better than ANY v8 i've heard, get her rygens exhaust system and a tune

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.....

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.

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.

Sorry, not possible for a V6 to sound better than a V8, there are laws against it, sorry. ;)

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. ;)

have her watch this and see if she likes this sound/loudness coming from a 6

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.. :D 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... ;)

Will do!

Yeah I heard about that law:D isn't written down & stored in the same place Iraq's nuclears weapons are??

She drives fine, it's just she drives a bit too aggressive and having a car with almost 100hp more than she has now, scary thought!

SuperCharger and some more toys =

Sorry man, can't lie....go for the gt, what i woulda got if i could of afforded it. If i got about 10,000 extra bones, i would definately upgrade and i do mean UPGRADE to a GT

You guys are a blast.......I had the V6 pony first and loved it until I test drove the GT.......that was all she wrote....but I will admit I have to watch myself sometimes........I have a lead foot and with the GT you have to be aware of the extra horsepower.....so it seems you are a concern and considerate husband and I'm sure together you guys will make the right decision. Damn I should write for a greeting card company:D

concerned and considerate.....Hallmark ain't hiring me.....:)

Just start griping about how you have to fill up with gas like every 4 days with your GT and gas is so expensive, you love your car and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, just you wish it was more economical (this snippet doesn't have to be true). Just make her realize what's on the other side of the coin. If you've not put a CAI and a good tune on there, you might start there. or maybe some 3.73s or 4.10s so she feels like she's going a lot faster. Get her all 3 and I bet she'll have a hard time noticing the performance difference.

How about this: trade in the 4.0 and get the value for that applied to a new Cobra.....then you have a Cobra and she can have your GT!!!

Brilliant! I like this option the best.

I can be a Neanderthall, just ask Traken

Dang straight! ;)

Seriously, though. I betcha if you switched her to duals and threw an intake and tune on, it'd definitely make her happy. :)

Ok, she just called me and told me NO GT!! She just spun her Pony in the rain and said she has no interest in the GT after what she just did in her V6... WOW.

I think she has been cured from her wanting the GT. But I am going to order the CAI and XCal and also the hood struts, that should help... the GT cast off sounds fantastic on her car.

Rygen, as if it weren't enough to teach me half of what I know about our cars, you even throw in a little life lesson every now and again.

You are the man!


Oh, and Viking -- I think the CAI/tune route (along with those duals) will be a great compromise! Now get her an LSD and some suspension upgrades so she doesn't spin out again!


Here's hoping I end up with a Mustang-lovin' wife too!

She is very cool and smart enough to know her limits, thank God. She loves the GT muffler and I'm sure when she sees me working on her car some more she'll know I like the car as well. I think the '05/'06 V6 Mustang is the best V6 Mustang Ford has ever built and it's a blast to drive with the Pony package.

The Pony package comes with the same basic suspension as the GT, only with the V6 it's actually closer to a true 50/50 balance and feels great in the turns. She just needs to slow down in the rain. ;)

LOL, thanks man. I have a lot to learn about everything, but I appreciate the feed back!

She needs to be careful. There are alot of nut jobs out there especially in the Chicago burbs so everyone needs to watch out for them (Im not talking about your wife, just the other drivers on the road). Stay safe.

It's actually kinda wierd, 7 years ago she wouldn't drive on a tollway or highway no matter what. Now she IS one of those people you watch out for on those very same roads! She has become the Chicago driver you fear...

Exactly! 55mph speed limit means do 85!! If you don't they run you off the road!

Be a man and buy the GT.

you could always dropin a 5.0 HO which sounds hellova lot better than the 4.0 or the 4.6, and its got only a bit more torque than her 4.0, same HP

I can't believe we're 3 pages in and no one has suggested the most obvious solution yet. This is very simple. Remove her birth control pills from the carrier and replace them with candy tablets. I swear to you, in 4 to 7 months thoughts of a GT will be distant memories and you will probably be shopping for a mini-van. Problem solved [sm=alcoholic.gif]

LOL! Well the secret to having one is to decide you don't want one, then you can't keep from getting pregnant no matter what ;) Our first two were fully planned and we patted ourselves on the back for being so responsible. Then we decided two was enough (the second was a terror when she was little!) I remember we were sitting in a restaurant and a young couple was trying to get a baby to quit crying, and we were saying "Wow, aren't you glad that's not us anymore?" Talk about living to eat some words :D Yup, along came number 3. But he's shaping up to be a big car and motorcycle nut unlike his sisters :) The Mustang is not a kid-friendly car, simple things like dropping the kids off at school becomes a chore. The kids really like the Mustang though, they've made me swear not to sell it :)

You could always trade her car, your car, and her in and get yourself a nice 07' shelby *shrug*
