A V6 Mustang is perfect for a 17 year old.
Exactly how I feel, I would have been scared ****less after driving with an instructor for 20 hours then finally getting being the wheel of a 5 speed 265 horse at the wheel car alone coming from a damn 1990 ish Toyota Drivers Ed car that barely moved past 10 mph O.o
Mustang V6's are great learning cars and or great daily drivers for the sole fact people appreciate the history

Eitherway, who cares if it's V6 or V8 no matter what you buy there will always be something faster/better. The whole, attitude of "don't buy a mustang unless it's a V8" is lame. Buy what you want, stop bitchin' if you didn't, and if you did buy a V8 whoopty-doo, so what.
LOL!!!
are you trying to make the V8 look lame?
V8s just sound better than the sixxers.
TIME TO GET ALL PISSED FOR THAT NAO!!!!
OMG I could just lump all V8 owners into the dumber than rocks group since most of you missed my obvious point but I won't cos not all v8 owners are dumbarses.
I currently own a V6 and have for the last 8 years. Love the car and it's been pretty damn reliable even though I beat on it. I'm debating between an 08 F-150 4x4 Lariat crew cab or a GT500 since it's my turn for a new car now, I can't do both. Wife has had two in the last seven years. Now I could do an 08 V6 stang and the 08 F-150, I might even be able to do a regular GT and the F-150 but even if I could, I wouldn't. I've driven the GT and I've driven the GT500, no comparison and I don't want to buy a GT just to "plan" to mod it and make into what I wanted in the first place. If I buy the V6 it's because I'll give it to my daughter or son in a few years as their first car.
Point is, V6 is a great car and a good way to get introduced to the mustang family. Except for the occassional Billy-bob redneck in the Camaro that still thinks it's the best car GM sells (not past tense), or the dumber than a rock Mustang GT owner that can't quite seem to comprehend basic analogies it's all good.

i dont speak for anyone else here, but i never "defend my ride" regardless of what engine it has. i use common sense to attack back. cock-ass GT owners (it usually only happens with GT owners, rarely ever cobra or other "specialty" mustang owners), think that theyre car is gods gift to the world, for who knows what reason... i mean the GT is slow, get over it. anyway, if you look through the timeline of the mustang, the v6 option was always there, except for those late fox years. the v6 mustang was the one that carried the mustang name through production by supporting the model line in sales to keep it in existance. when you drive the car, you represent the name of the car, and the manufacturer, not the engine size. at the end of the day, its the same car, regardless of the engine size and performance options. but instead GT owners would rather say "v6's are gay", "v6's are worthless", "why buy a v6? its not a real mustang". i say when did you decide that the size of your engine determines the authentication of your car? you say "mustangs are the best", but as soon as someone buys a v6 you look at them like theyre the scum of the earth, and others even say "go drive a camaro/honda/some other pos instead".
lets look at it from the other end of the spectrum. when you see a civic drive down the street, if its not an SI, you dont say "oh thats not a civic, its just a pos". you acknowledge the car for the name of it, not what is under the hood. you dont see a 3rd generation camaro coming at you from the other direction half a mile away and say "thats not a real camaro, its not a v8". why? because you view the car equally regardless of what engine it has in it. and since when does the car automatically change in authentication once you realize what engine it has?

That's well put ARdoller but the Cock ARSE GT owner you're trying to reach won't get that explanation. Remember..dumb as a rock. The only thing that gets a rise is the "Why buy a GT instead of a GT500?" question, then I get the whole "well I modded my gt to beat a sotck GT500 thing".
I like to stir shiz up when it comes to the GT owners that fit the bill. Easy to spot and easy to play 
Eitherway, I think we both agree, ever Mustang has its niche. Without the V6 the V8 wouldn't still exist. Without an auto tranny option the Mustang wouldn't exist. I hate auto trannies and feel that an automatic Mustang is just a farce of a car but I don't go hatin' on auto owners. A Mustang is made to be driven, not drive you.

Fair enough. Everyone has their opinions. Any car can be made fast. It's simple, I don't like the price tag on a GT500. I have plenty of money to buy one, but, I feel strongly about my money, and where it goes. So, I bought a car for 20K less, invested 4K into it, and have a faster car already. Sure, I don't have the big bad Shelby, but who needs it. Now, some people have said the V6 is plain gay. I haven't. Understand I'm not just a dumb V8 owner. Let's just get a few things straight. Sure, the V6 has carried the mustang name, but if you did not know what a Mustang is famous for, then I have no idea what to tell you. This can be a very long thread, with a lot of bickering about what model is better. V6 owners love their V6, GT owners love their GT. Most GT have driving V6's. Most V6's owners, at least the people I know, did not waste their time driving a GT. So, in turn, they defend a one sided battle about how great the V6 is. Gas mileage is not all that different. I put down over 500HP, yet average 20MPG. I pay 200 a month for insurance, for two people, maximun coverage, 250 deductibles, through State farm, and I am under 25. Insurance is not an issue. Maybe it's the cost of the GT.HMMM, you could get a new one with leather, for 25K. About 5k more then a V6. Most guys here were not bashing the V6, yet most of you took it personally. So, let's drop the whole, my V6 is better then your piss slow GT, and my GT is better then your Torque monster V6, and so on. Happy new Years Fellow MF'ers!!

it was a joke, hence all the extra smileys and the last comment. it was just meant to get a rise, which i did.

see, at least you can post a thread expressing your opinion without being a dick about it. well done man. 
i'm just curious to see how many ppl respect the v6 and the mustang itself as a whole, not how many ppl claim their GT is faster... go back to 3rd grade... 300 hp (GT) > 210 hp (v6)... dee dee dee. tell us something we don't know dumbasses.
as i mentioned earlier, i have driven an 01' GT, and a 00' ls1 camaro ss. don't flame me for this (i respect and like chevy too unlike some ford ppl  ) but the ls1 totally owns any new edge mustang GT stock for stock and it cost about the same. even tho i like the camaro, i just prefer the mustang - good luck working on a camaro as easy as a gt or v6 mustang tho. i ended up with a v6 because of circumstance, yet i will love it til the day i die.

now let me rephrase exactly what you just said in reference to the v6, for one of the reasons why people choose a v6 over a GT:

when I was ready to buy my first car, I wanted a new edge V6, just because I loved the way they looked. These days, I had my preferences. I agree with the V6 owners. If it was not for them, us GT owners would not have what we do now.
Derf- You have my apologies for coming off as a dick. If someone has a problem with a V6, and owns a mustang, you don't deserve to own one. As everyone has made clear here, a V6 mustang is still a mustang!!!

I think you should reconsider your reply. They are Piss slow stock? I really hope you are not referring to a GT. Think about it. You own an SN-95, New Edge. Compared to an S197, your car is piss slow. It does matter V6 or V8. do you want speed, or cruising power. Sure, gas is cheaper, less expensive. But, you don't buy a V6 for speed. It will take more money for a V6 to be faster then a GT, rather then a GT being even faster.
Piss Slow. hahahaha. Redass is funny....
A GT500 trumps your GT. A GT is piss slow compared to a GT500...Hell go buy a GT500 you damn GT wussy. Damn poser buying a non GT500.
Thats a retarded arguement.
The 2-3k difference in price for a V6 and a GT isn't nearly as big as the 25+ difference between the GT500 and GT.

very well and simply put man. i love my 6, considering my age, income, current goals in life - finishing college so i'll have enough $$$$$$ to get just about anything i damn well please. for now and under realistic circumstances (for me) i couldn't be happier. it could be much worse.
Thanks for speaking for our demographic, not everyone on this site makes the dough needed to buy a GT.
I don't need to justify my V6 to people I meet on the street, most of them don't even care about the engine, they just care about how good the looks of the car are. I could've bought a 99-04 GT with the 12K I spent on my S197, but the styling on my 2005 was far more superior in my mind than 2 more cylinders on one of those cars ever will be to me.
Bottom line, I bought the Mustang to be apart of American history and tradition. My first car is something I am proud of, something I worked hard and long to get. Thats all, no need to fight to change some people's minds. Most of the mature ones here who do own GTs (thats most of you), I thank you for not degrading what I own, I appreciate when you protect us...your little brother

I have only two things to say about this.
1) I can't believe that this thread was started yet again. The only reason for it was to stir up more crap. This "I just wanted to hear what you had to say and talk about it" is complete BS.
2) If there was no such thing as a 4 cylinder or V6 Mustang, there would be no such thing as a Mustang GT, or a GT500, or an SVT Cobra. Or a Boss 302, or an LX 5.0, or a 429 Cobra Jet, or any other notable or even not so notable V8 Mustang. Not then, not now, not ever. You dumbasses don't seem to be able to get that through your thick skulls when you start these stupid threads.
