To suggest Ford should take your approach would suggest that share holders won't mind lower sales and less profit. It is clear you really like your GT. I don't blame you. But this makes no sense as it has no upside and loads of downside.
The 6 cyl has always been and will always be the biggest selling Mustang for Ford as it fullfills perfectly the original intent of the model: affordable sporty car for the masses. Your suggestion takes the Mustang significantly away from the intended market.
Very intelligent reply. I agree, the 6cyl model is the life blood of the Mustang.
I recently started paying attention to this forum because I am considering purchasing a 6cyl Mustang. My commute is about 180 miles round trip. I only work 3-4 days a week. My daily driver is a 93 Ranger and my ranger is at the point where it is becoming a maintenance nightmare and I prefer to drive my GT. I have racked up over 90,000 miles on my GT and it is a 2001.
I am looking to purchase another car for the purpose of commuting to work. I get pretty good gas mileage in my GT normally 20-24 MPG if I keep the RPMs down.
I plan on keeping my GT and getting a forged rebuilt engine and then installing a power adder. If I go with a G35 or a nicer car, then the GT is history.
