I'm 56 and have owned many Mustangs, V8s and V6s.
I had a 2005 V6 and now drive a 2007 GT. Insurance is more for the GT, with a perfect driving record I might add, but not much more than for the V6. I would have to look up my records to be certain, but it is very little more but it definitely is not the same. Gas mileage on the road is about the same. In town, both such, the GT sucks a bit more.
The V6 has kept the breed alive. That is a fact.
I do wish Ford would put some newer engines in the Mustangs. But the other models are getting the most attention right now because the Mustang still sells fairly well.
My ambition before I die is to own a Shelby. I turned down a 66 Shelby about 20 years ago, low mileage and $13,000, because I already owned three Mustangs. I couldn't think of how to explain that to my wife. That car would be worth a small fortune today.
I love all Mustangs. I, however, have never owned one of the 4 cylinder models. They existed and had an important role in keeping the model alive. For awhile, you could not get a V-8.
