In my opinion the new v6's have more than enough power for the street. This one is our first v6. I've owned 4 GT's, my first one had 225hp my last one had 285hp. The new GT's are 415hp, but you will pay a higher insurance premium and pay a little more for gas and the gt itself will cost more. But I have heard friends say its all most sacrilegious to own anything other than a v8 mustang. But I guess it's all a matter of opinion. I will say though that if this one was not a convertible, I would have definitely got a gt.
