So I still have no car since my last mustang hit a tree. It was an 03 gt and I loved it. I have been considering a 2006 GTO and I must say that as much as I love mustangs, the GTO is a fine car. It went like a raped ape and was very very comfortable but unfortunately they are 32k and I am only 22 and want to start saving for a house after I graduate from college. I could afford it but I dont really want a 600.00 car payment every month. I also thought about an 07 mustang gt, but they are even like 28k around here so thats out of the picture. So here is what I came up with.......
I can get my hands on a brand new 07 sixer for 17k. All is has is a manual transmission and is the base model. I was thinking of purchasing a supercharger and supporting mods and figured Id have a pretty decent car. So..
Basically Im thinking of buying the sixer, putting a locker and some 4.10s in the rear and adding a supercharger kit. Im hoping that with those 2 mods I will atleast equal if not eclipse the performance of a stock mustang gt. Do you guys think I will or is it a waste of money and a lost cause?

Buy, I would want anti-lock traction control for sure..... Get a base model at $19000 ( a few more options) and stick on an XCharger for $4000 and about $1000 more in mods, this puts you at $24000 for a car that will be faster than a GT.
Buy a used V6 for less than 15k and mod the hell out of it! Do a twin turbo and kick modded GT's asses!
Twins would be insane. Makes me want to go find out some prices. :P I want to get the Vortech V-2 with chargecooler for now, since it is so inexpensive. That and a couple more mods, should beat the brakes off of a GT.
all of the intercooled systems will put down better times than a new gt, and the x-charger will make it about equal. if you really want a monster that will rape most gt's, even pretty well modded ones go turbo.

Good idea, but check on the interest rate between the used and new car. Sometimes they will give you a better rate on a new car and it can make the difference in the payments. Only bad thing about the 07 is that funky lookin' spoiler. [sm=smiley5.gif] You might also consider trying to find a pony package car since the suspension is more on a par with the GT suspension (sway bars, tires and wheels). This might save you some money, but before you buy check eBay and sources like V6 Mustang Stuff for the price on the GT take off parts to make sure you can't beat the pony package price by doing the add-ons later.
I was just in your shoes, picked up my 05 for $16k with 6k miles, Shaker500/powerseat.
