i keep hearing that the v6 handling is better than the GT i havent driven a GT yet but i know how my car handles and im wondering if the 6er is better than the GT and why?

jaded seconds

one of the factors that the v6 is a better handler is the power to weight ratio. the gt is good, a better handler than the previous gt's, but it's strength is going in a straight line.

i completely disagree, i have v6 with no faults in suspension sway bars or anything of the sorts and i have driven a stock gt, the gt is much better handling wise i believe, the v6 is lighter blah blah but all the suspension in the gt and such is waayyy better than wut is put in the v6, look it up ull see

A stock GT will out handle a stock V6. The suspension is better. A modified (suspension)V6 will out handle a GT due to lesser weight (not a lot but some) and better weight distribution. Without additonal power however, the GT will easily catch up on the straight-a-ways.

rear springs are the same (GT /V6)
GT front spring ratesare different because of the extra vehicle weight
Front sway bars are a different diameter

GT has front and rear sway bars
05-06 V6 (non pony package) has only a front sway (small diameter)
05-06 V6 (with pony package) has small diameter front sway and GT rear sway bar

05-06 GT / V6 verts have different spring rates front and rear

How about the '07 Pony package, what does it have ?

lrgnation

It really should not handle all that different... Put a sway bay are on the rear of a v6 and it will take turns the same way. It just wont accelerate out of them the same way.

You purchased an optional package on your car but you didn't ask or look at the window sticker to see what it included?

i have an 06 v6 with the pony package and i've driven a stock gt. Seems VERY close handling wise. first of all the suspension stuff helps alot, but also the stock tires are just ****. the pirrellis that come with the pony package (and the gt) help out alot.
