When i got my car, the insurance was $190 difference a month. Now it is $7/month That was why i got the 6, but now im happy i did, because ive probably saved a whole lot in gas haha.

All mustangs are Awsome but it seams that some of the 6er's are becoming trolls thinking that this car all of a suddenly vindicates their Choice (which doesn't need vidication in the first place IMHO).

If you have that much to spend on a car, would you care what insurance costs?
BTW: The dif between a V6 and a GT is a whooping $12 a month in insurance for me.

I could have waited.. but decided the V6 was just dandy.. so I went with that... I had no intentions of modding the car when I bought it... it's just something that's happened... And I'm having a LOT of fun doing it... I've put $4,000 in performance mods... for another $500 to $1000 I could easily be in the 12s... I have no intentions of going for the 10s... LOL!

Zodiac, you hit the nail on the head with that statement.
Yeah, I don't need vindication (never do) for what I choose to ride, and I might have misunderstood Roni's comments (I apologize), but I don't understand why the need to knock Carrol Shelby who I consider one of the Fathers of the Mustang and is highly revered and one that should not be made light of. Any thing he does that raises the respect level of the 4.0L should be looked at in a positive light. Cuz, lets face it the V6 does get bashed quite a bit by the V8 brethren and after a while you might take things a little more on the defensive end of things because of it.

MCMustangMan said:Yeah, I do (I'm 44), I remember the '86 GLH Turbo (nicknamed "Goes Like Hell") and the Shelby Charger Turbo. These cars were respectable for their time (as our V6's are in stock form). That was an era of low compression motors and there were not very many high performance cars on the market, even SVO came out with a 4 cyl turbo. The muscle car scene was in a slump just before Ford and GM started doing something with the mustang, camaro, corvette, etc.) Scrming, why do you feel the need to diss me every chance you get? I don't go dissin you every time you mention how great your Zex or the SCT is. It does get old after a while. I think you should give it a rest. Carrol Shelby is a person to be respected and I think he is a visionary and we all don't get it right 100% of the time (maybe you do LOL).
Yeah, I know it takes deep pockets to get into the 10s on any car and I said "if" I did this. But it looks like with pwrhws' turbo it won't take much more than $5000 or so to get into the 11s. Insurance in Arkansas must be real cheap, cuz here in Motown it is as much as a car payment (and I have a clean driving record) and the difference from the same year vehicle V6 versus GT is major. My insurance carrier could not believe that my insurance for the '05 V6 was cheaper than my '01 GT.

"Posted Nov 7, 2005, 10:57 AM ET by Rich Sparkman
For those of you who have a Mustang V6, we (Shelby Automobiles) now offer a nifty upgrade package that will give you 350HP. It's all true.
For those who have the Mustang GT, better get a supercharger if you want to keep up with the CS6. It's lighter, handles better, gets better mileage, accelerates faster, and brings about 50 more HP to the table. But don't forget the other options including suspension, exhaust, brake, and appearance upgrades. Couple that with a Shelby serial number and the car should hold its resale value much better than a stock Mustang GT.
Carroll isn't senile, he recognizes that the V6 owners out there have been largely overlooked by the performance aftermarket. We're fixing that. We also have to remember we've got the GT500 coming out next summer and that makes things a bit more complex business-wise.
What about the West Coast Customs/Shelby V8 Mustang? The fact that it's a limited-edition car is stirring lots of interest in collector circles. We're only going to make 25 of these.
