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.....

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.

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.

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
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.
