so im on the florida turnpike and notice a grabber orange v6 behind me. it had the pp grill, rockers, front and rear bumper but i noticed that he put GT emblems on the side[:'(] why do people pretend they have a GT? are our 6's that embarrassing to drive around? I love telling people its a 6 when they ask cause then they give me this weird wtf look which is quite amusing

Horsepower envy!!!!!!!!!!

if i had a gt , id take the emblems off, i think the pony package emblems are 100% better

i dont mind the gt emblems on the fenders on the GT but the rear trunk emblem should def be the 6 one with the running horse not the GT... not retro

GT emblems belong on GTs and nothing else.
Might as well put a Chevy Emblem on there.
Makes the same sense. :eek:

Cobras on Cobras.
Shelbys on Shelbys.
Saleens on Saleens.
Roushes on Roushes.

I hear it add's a few HP in some situations.

Maybe it was a GT and he put V6 stuff on to be a sleeper :P

Because it's his car? Who cares?

I take mine off entirely if there weren't holes behind them.

one of life's great mysteries...:eek:

I like the clean look. No fake plastic hood scoop, no plastic rear wing, no stinkin badges, no tape or stickers. Just clean. I have since taken the dealer sticker off too. And it doesn't hurt that we don't have to have a front plate.

^ Make sure and take off that dealer sticker then;)
Not sure why people put GT badges on their 6'ers, i guess they're not proud of what they have...

next time just flag the guy down and ask him yourself;)

i'm sure he'll give you some decent response

ie "it came that way" or "the dealer did some special things to it" [8D]

People are weird!

i saw a guy with FOUR GT badges on his 6er. guess where he put the other two.

1 on the rear
2 on the sides
and 1 on the front grill???? lol

you know its one thing to make a clone...im not against that at all..because most clones have the funk under the hood to back it up.....

if i had a gt i would switch to the pony fender emblems anyways cause i like em better...same with the gas cap.....

so having said that here is a story proud sixers will appreciate....

lady on a smokin harley pulled up next to me today and said i had a mustang like yours but it wasnt a gt.....

i quickly corrected her that i was a six.....she said but you have dual exhaust...i said yeah...i liked the sound and look of them.....

the lesson ....never judge a book by its cover....i also have seen some though very few gts with the pp grill....i have had many gt owners ask me if it would fit thier car, but it wont fit the gt bumper...you have to switch it to the 6 as it is a little smaller i think....as is the pp grill.....

and i have no problem telling folks im a sixer,....hopefully one day a supercharged sixer....until then im saving for my short throw, cai and tune.....i like being the underdog....

soild guess, but nope. [8D]

ok ill play....but you should tell us which ones we get right if any

one on each fender.....

trunk lid

dashboard.....

Aint nothing wrong with a sixer stang. I think they are pretty respectable for what they are. Back on topic, I guess it's for the gt look and respect, for the same reason some of the gt guys slap cobra emblems all over their car. Plus it lets your buddies brag about beating a gt (or cobra). Supercharge that six and make some of the gt guys go crazy!!! Another thing - just about every kid on the road wants to race a "gt", so be prepared to hammer your gas mileage.

must remove......uhgh lead from foot......want to fill up once a week.....uhgh cant help myself.....uhgh she is so sexy....LOL....

the only way to keep my foot out of it...is to not drive it...LOL...im only kidding..but yes i agree with you.

maybe the letters "GT" are the guy's initials? ;) :D

hehe, just playing.
Other people should be able to do what they want (as long as its not illegal or disrespectful) with their property because in the end, they are the ones that pay the bills. If slapping GT badges on their cars make them happy, then why not let them do it?
its just like asking why a white person would wear rocawear or something. is he a poser for dressing like black people?

i agree with you 100% but if your gonna do that much like clone....i would hope you got the guts (performance to back it up).....as far as true clone go...i havent seen one that wouldnt bury the real thing....my 2 cents.....

There is a guy on another forum who is doing just that with his GT. Taking off the rocker panels, GT emblems, front fascia, '07+ rear spoiler to make it look like a V6. I Like this idea and would probably have done the same if I have purchased a GT. I bought the Pony Package because I thought it looks better.

i dont understand that sometimes.

i dont understand that sometimes.


+1.....i still don't understand either. everyone i've met who knows stangs knows that mine is a sixer regardless of my exhaust. they were able to guess right that its custom. people who weren't too familiar with stangs have asked me if it was the V8 and this was before my exhaust and wheels. go figure.

I have considered getting the pony Emblems for my GT. IMO they look better

Are you feeling sentimental Adam for your old blue sixxer???
_____________________________________

IMO, clone cars = rice. Sure, that's the owner's right to do so, but I think it's tacky. However, I've seen tribute cars that I would love to have in my garage (an S197 that's badged as a Mach I is a tribute car, cuz Ford never built one). I recently saw a BEAUTIFUL triple-black 2007 (fake) Shelby GT500 that was truly stunning. The only thing that gave it away was the auto tranny. As nice as it was, I wouldn't want it cuz it was a fake. But as long as the owner is happy, then I guess that's all that matters.

I like the clean look more now, but I'll still roll with the pony emblems on the sides on mine. I know where a guy parks a V6 every day with everything changed to GT except the front bumper+grill. I find it odd to see anyway. And yeah I agree that GT emblem on the rear is pretty ugly. The ones on the sides are fine though. I kinda wish they would've kept more of the concept car's logos.

why do people pretend they have a GT?



I dunno, why do GT owners measure manhood by how many cylinders they have? Mustang owners are fairly representative of the population at large. Most are reasonable thoughtful people and some are receiving life instructions thru their foil helmet/CAI mass air flow sensor. :D

Sleeper V6 = very cool
GT badges on V6 = very NOT cool.

well how do you know its a V6??? ive seen a guy that has the pony package grill because they didnt like the big fog lights and wanted to keep the retro look...he even changed the GT trunk badge cuz he didnt like it and had the pony emblem instead....and i actually looked at his engine and it was a V8

Not all GT owners measure their manhood by the amount of cylinders they have feejay. That's like saying your avitar is a direct reflection of yourself.

+ 1 pretty much the same here...it really boils down to personalizing....i try to take the attitude that....if you like it that is what matters....for instance i like stripes...but i like em on other peoples cars....

and im all about slowly being that sleeper....just gonna take some dough and patience...

but yes peeps who know stangs know im a six right off...those unfamiliar ask or often assume im a gt through no fault of thier own, i dont expect everyone to be a mustang junkie.....i mean i know older years and stuff too....but im a fiend for stangs....

what irks me is when someone who doesnt know stangs asks if its a gt and when i tell em no..they say something to the effect of the following:

them:"you got the girls car!":eek:
me: "really? what kind of mustang do you have?":)
them:"i dont have one"[:o]
me:"well then i guess were done talking about mustangs then arent we?";)

of course i only use this response when the comment is meant to insultme or the person seems to want to talk a good game about stangs and somehow put me down for whatever reasonand really doesnt know anything cars and basically trying to put me down.....ya know?

if thier nice about it, i will let them hear her a little and reply with...."does that sound like a girls car?" and when i leave i dont necesarily squirrel it, or peel out, but i let em hear that 6 power....

I have never really understood that as well. Why people put different emblems on there cars. Like V6's putting GT emblems on or GT's putting cobra emblems on....it just never made sense to me.


I've had a lot of people think my car was a GT....even other GT owners at the track ask if it was a GT. I tell them nope and the lok on there face is priceless and then they walk around to the back or I open the hood and they are like ohhh it is a 6.

It's because they allow 18 year olds to drive Mustangs. I can't imagine an adult doing this.

And what about that fake plastic faux gas cap you have on there?
My scoop, louvers and wing are fiberglass, not plastic so I guess
they areOK?

i heard you gain like 90HP from adding them... but i just cant bring myself to pull the trigger on that one...

I meant all but you. And my avitar is actuially a photograph of me and my dog. :D

Lighten up dude.

no problems here, good picture!

is it okay to put a GT badge on a saleen??

considering it is just a souped up GT... yeah... but i dont know why anyone would if they do own a saleen... thats like putting regularbeemeremblems on an ALPINA BMW... obviously doesnt look the same, so why try to hide it?

idk i don't like gt emblems - rather have the pony, but i have none, cuz i can't decide if i want them in addition to the ones on my grille, dash, and the fake gas cap....and i don't feel the need to put gt emblems on or shelby emblems, cuz if someone's talkin to me about my car ithas gone like this...
"what is it"
"well, it's an 05 mustang"
"yeah, but is it a shelby or a mach 1 or something?"
"nope, just a mustang - my plain lil economy car"
"really? looksamazing - love that color"
:D

sorry bout that big pic...thought i'd do a sig one and didn't change the size [8D]

haha. its all good. it looked great. thats all that matters. :D

badges, I don't got no stinkin badges. I don't need no stinkin badges.

Regardless of what badge you have on, it is what it is. Personlay I dont like any badges.

I like my badges; just says MUSTANG!

^ NICE-- they look pretty cool i was thinkin about doing a 66 emblem set with pony and block letters, but idk if i'll get around to it...we'll see

Badge? You're all under-arrested for disturbing the V6-GT peace.

So it's wrong for me to place "Ferrari" letters on my deck lid, the Lamborghini bull on my hood and a TRD sticker on my window? [&o]

That looks nice beaustang! One of the better looking badges on the side.

I just can't make myself put badges on the side, I have seen a few that wouldn't look bad, and I really like what beaustang did, but still the clean look i think is the best.

Was having an 02 sensor replaced at the stealership today, and they pulled out an 07 PP from the service garage, looked real clean, tinted windows, hood scoop, upgraded wheels. So I walked around it to check it out and it had a GT Faux gas cap. So I looked to see if it was a maybe a sleeper GT, but it wasn't, still had the single exhaust.

I dunno, the car looked real good, but that gas cap just looked out of place.

you got any more shots showing more of the car with that mustang badge? looks cool close up.

some gt drivers put te pony package on theirs for some reason.

some guy at work driving a "souped up" 96 civic loves my car but said i should put gt emblems on it....typical of a civic driver hahaha

^^ so true...
