One thing I noticed was that the white one doesn't say the miles, but says everything else, maybe high miles? Hmm...See I don't want black, but black could be good til i get a paint job eventually...lol...my dream color is sonic blue, or any blue along those lines.

Why do you think I should get the 6? Cause it's cheaper and less gas and my first car? or? I'm just wondering... :blob7:

Like I said in the other thread, you're 16 and this is your first car.

Save the money on the car itself, on insurance, and on gas (negligible difference).

My opinion is that a V8 Mustang is ALOT of power for a 16 year old. Alot of 16 year olds wreck their first car regardless of power, but if you have that power and are using it to show off (burnouts, street racing, etc) you're going to be more likely to wreck that car.

I think the 6 will keep you a bit more "grounded" for a few years. After you get out of high school, get a V8.

I agree, get the 6. I had two 6's before getting a v-8. Once you get a little more experience driving then go for the v-8. Besides, the insurance sucks on v-8 and depending where you live it can be really expensive.

I say go with the Black Gt, but I may be alittle biased :toothy12:


Don't worry about gas mileage, it's a stang, not a gas saver.

My main reason for recommending the v-6 is because of the age of the person that will be driving it. I don't have kids, but I'm not sure with 1 year of driving experience I'd let my kid have a GT. We were all 17 once and thought we knew EVERYTHING and nothing could hurt us! Holy crap please stop me I'm only 27 and sounding like a freaking 55 year old! (no disrespect to 55 year olds, they are much smarter and wiser than I) ha ha forgive me guys.

Oh my god that's high! So if I read your post right your insurance is $400 a month=$4,800 a year?? Does it cost you more in insurance than your actual car payment? Don't get me wrong I live in the SF Bay Area so I'm used to stuff being way over priced, but damn that's expensive.

Sorry, we are getting off topic a little bit, but car insurance is a freaking rip off. It's crazy how they use zip codes to determine your yearly/monthly rate. I moved 10 miles east of where I used to live and my insurance went down $50 a month, just because I moved 10 miles. Never had a claim, just moved that's all. That's my rant for the day.

I would like to see you find those colors in a GT 5-speed but if you do you will be paying more than the sticker price on it
