here's my story... Im 17 years old. have had my car for almost a year now and i love it, but i really just want a manual car and something a little faster. but mostly, i want a manual and it wouldnt' hurt to upgrade to a GT. i love the sound of those cars with exhausts on them...

i was considering doing stuff to my car but i dont see the point b/c i dont really like it as much as i used to.  i told my parents from the start that i wanted a manual and they said no. and now that ive driven my auto and my friends manuals, i'm hooked on the stick-shift.. i feel bored driving around with my auto. i need something to do i feel like..

i figure i can maybe get $8500 for my car as is minus the chin spoiler,sound system and HID's and maybe even the rims.... i just have to convince my parents into letting me get a new car next year... you guys think this is a good idea? i need opinions on my thought bc as of now im done modding my car...i want a GT

(END RANT)

That was exactly 100% my situation 4 or 5 months ago. 'Cept I'm 19 and didn't have to get my parents permission. But I say go for it. I did it, and I don't regret it for a second.

And I know all the V6 fanboys are gonna come in and say "It's only a 2v, don't get a GT" blah blah... Don't listen to them. They've probably never driven a GT and are just being pussies. Go GT, dude. It's everything a V6 is but better.

well, you're only 17, so i'd wait a little bit longer before you get rid of it, hehe


but i know how you feel, GTs are pretty fun to drive around and the difference is a lot more than i expected the first time i got into one :)

(and btw, autos arent that bad.. just wait til you have to get into heavy traffic every day with a manual :()

I just sold my 2000 v6 two weeks ago and picked up a 2001 GT. GET A GT! Not only is the car faster but is rides so much better.

well ill be 18 when i sell it...and i told my father i wanted a stick and he said no..so i got my car i have now which i love but i really want a stick now..i feel like i didnt really have a full say on my car...ill be 18 and if i can get my dad to bite, i think i'd be able to have a GT. and as far as heavy traffic goes, you kinda have to know who i am, i love doing things and keeping busy. maybe eventually i'd get pissed but i doubt i'd mind too much

Start showing your dad GT listings and stuff. I was asked my dad how many of his cars were v6's when he was younger and he said none lol - all of them were 8's. Make him know that it is more realistic on keeping a GT for the next 10-20 years than a 6.

Try some of this crap, it just might work.

If you can I say go for it.  I'd love a GT, but I know there is no way in hell I can sell my 6 for enough to get one.  They all cost around 15k last time I checked around here .  But anyway, if you do get one, do yourself a favor and get a manual.  No sense in getting a sports car with an auto transmission.  Unless you planning on building a drag car or something crazy like that.  Good luck.

i just turned 18 and got a Z28, its got alot of pick up and sound amazing with 3 inch pipes and no cat. Id say go for the GT, V8s are just fun to drive and dont cost any more than a V6 really.. If you just have liability insurance then your rate will stay the same because liability is usually the same if you stay within the same group of drivers (dont go getting a Porsche or Lambo and your price wont increase in other words) and gas isnt that bad if u drive sanely lol. Ive got some good mileage so far and my car is runnin on very nasty looking oil and it should improve after i get it serviced 2morrow. And did i mention V8s are just more fun to drive? lol

No, keep your V6 and buy a GT, that's what this cool kid did. It's even cooler when your v6 outruns your GT too lol.

That's kinda what I have planned. Build up the 6 to about 350 whp (focus more on suspension and handling), then get a Mach 1 for a DD.
