Is an '05 V6 a good upgrade from '03 V8?

[trickyshadow]

Hi guys i am in the same boat I have an 04 GT with an auto. I bought the car used and found out the dealer is trying to cover up a few things on it, anyway going saturday to see about an 05 v6 yep I am all about the looks now because I have spent way too much money on mods, enough is enough, and you always want more. so I am going for the looks to build a nice show piece. car will be screaming yellow with dark shadow gray strips with my dark shadow gray cobra r wheels I hope it will look ok. Good luck with your decision.

Ha ha... nice one Kevin. But, not true.

I decided to keep my '03 GT. I have great monthly payments on it, and if I got the '05 I'd have to pay around $450 a month. When I'm setup to pay my car off in around 2 years at $270 a month... well, you see how it is. I'd rather keep it, pay it off, and then go for an '06 or '07. They'll probably have bugs/issues worked out of them by then anyway.

I appreciate everyone's input. All in all I probably would have gotten the '05 if I would've gotten payments around $300-$325 a month. But that won't happen unless I can put more down, and right now I can't. But that's ok, I have a sweet ride as it is. So I'm not unhappy!

Yes, I sure am. I can see an '06 or '07 stang in my future too.

The '03 is going to get some Flowmaster 40's put on today. Swapping my magnaflow mufflers out for those. The 40s will be hooked up to my Magnaflow CB. Should sound good!
