Default V6 To GT or......NOT

Ok this maybe a tough question for some but not for others.OKAY how many of you people would get rid of your v6 for a GT if you had the chance. It didn't cost you anything to do it either. Would you? Would you go to a stock GT and get rid of your v6 even if you have spent a ton in mods!!! If you said NO then why? What is it about the 4.0 that you like and don't want to give up for a GT? Remember this is unrealistic, if I could have bought a GT I would have. But I had other things I had to deal with to get the car I have now!!!

I know I wouldn't ever trade my car in for a GT I would maybe trade it in for a Z06 but not a GT. I love my 6 and how fast it is even if it doesn't have the power it is supposed to. Anyone here wit me?

Default RE: V6 To GT or......NOT

If I could trade my V6 with supercharger for a stock GT Convertible, like new as mine is, I would do it. But that can't happen. That's the waste of such unrealistic questions. The reason I put a supercharger on and a GT front end, etc, was because it costs so much money to turn over a car, it was far cheaper for me to mod my V6 than trade it and buy a GT... If I could trade my V6 for a new Corvette, I would do that too. But that ain't happening either.

So you would trade your supercharged V6 for a plan ol GT. All that work and stuff just to go back to stock[]

Stock sux.. but then again you could say you had a GT and be happy..

I think I'd jump on it (if it was the right color and right extras)

I looove modding my car.. but with a few small mods the GT would kick some serious ass!!

Black Mamba.. if I had your car I'd stay a 6..lol

Is taking the engine out of the GT and keeping our V6's an option? If so, SURE!

Here's my perspective. I got KBB in a private sale for my paid off 06 V-6. I got a mint condition 05 GT Manual with the options I wanted for a couple a grand less than 20k. In other words, a sweet, lucky deal. (Not everyone gets a sweet, lucky and well timed deal like I did.)My V6 didn't have the Pony Package, so to really make it more of a sports carI would have had to spend money on suspension, new tires and rims, X-Charger and perhaps even upgarde the driveshaft, since my 06 was made late in 05 it may have had that driveshaft whose u-joints fly apart at over 115 mph. I live in an apartment, so even if I wanted to buy some tools to do all this myself, I'd have to store the tools--I don't know--under my bed, in my wife's closet??? LOL For me it just made more sense to go with the turnkey solution of the GT. Each person's situationis different.
