Default V6 to v8

I jumped on a GT as soon as I could guys I traded in my v6 monster for a v8 beast. Here is a few pics of the newest edition to the family.

Congrats!!

It just seems that there are less and less of us "Sixers" here now...

Edit* The day Scrming or Rygen trades in for an 8.. a great void will be here []

These threads are killing me, I have financed through ford for my current car, but there's no way I could qualify for the 0% financing deal

Sure would like a gt though

Not to worry, we're still here.

The GT is a great car and has lots of power and performance right off the dealership floor, and I must admit, I did think about switching but decided to stick with my V6. The GT vs. V6 thing kind of reminds me of the guys who were running small block Chevys against the Mopar Hemis back in the early 70s. You had to be more creative to win, but it could be done.

The V6 engine's biggest drawback is the 2V heads and the iron block, but it does have a favorable bore to stroke ratio and even with out the aluminum block is lighter which results in a more favorable distribution of weight. If I ever did trade off my 05, it would be if Ford started putting the 250 HP DOHC 3.5 L V6 in the 05 body. Now that would be a package! [&:]

Besides, another thing I like about the V6 is the body vs the GT. The bumper covers on the V6 look more like those on the original cars, which has prompted me to try and fit a 69 front spoiler to my 6er. If it works out it's going to look really fine, since with the GT fog lights I added make my baby look a whole lot like the 69 already.

Fizzie, congrats on the new GT, but I've loved your red V6. Where did you trade it in? I could get it for the wife. On your GT, you could do a reverse color scheme from your V6 with a red stripe down the middle...

I traded it in to Joe Cooper Ford of Midwest City in Oklahoma, 405-733-1611 if your serious don't offer more then 19000 they bought it from me for 18000 it has 13000 miles on it (dual flowmasters, razzi window louvers and the white stipes). As far as the color theme I am mixed between red and blue stripes. Not sure what I am doing there.
