im simply a jeep guy.....but, as far as other cars and trucks are concerned, i dont care who makes it...if i like it, i like it....im not going to say i dont like something just bc its made by a certain company.

but i understand...all my friends are either strictly mopar, GM, or Ford

I have the 97 GT Mustang V8 , it has 64000 miles and goes great, it has a few after market parts which improve its performance. Mine is an an Auto much better for all the stop signs and lights here in the city. Gotta say I like the look of the new Stang.

While I don't mean to step on toes, I got to tell it the way it is... Muscle cars that are V6 powered automatics are for women and retirees.

I've owned two mustangs, one was a 66 mustang with a straight 6cyl auto and the other was a 94 GT conv with a 5spd manual and glass pack dual exhaust.
You just can't get the same enjoyment with the 6cyl. There's nothing like reving a V8 with a performance exhaust and then letting of the accelerator and listen to the purr as she settles down. If you can't afford a late model GT, get one a few years older. A brand new LX can't hold a candle (in the fun and pride depts.) to a 5 yr old GT.

well said, and i agree with you 100%...if your going for muscle and want to get a V6 automatic and then race everyone at every intersection like a clown its nothing but a good laugh

same thing goes for V6 camaros and whats up with the guys and Chrystlers 300 or whatever they are called trying to make them look like cheap man Bentleys lol..debatching them, putting big rims on them

I don't have a 300, but when I first rode in the 300C, I thought it was a damn nice car. Very sharp, very fast (the 300C, that is).

Comming from someone who owns a '67 and a '06 look at it this way they are just not making the 60's models anymore. I ordered my '06 with all the bells and whistles and if I had it to do over again I would NOT have got the leather I would have used the money to have custom upholstery done instead.

.

And the reason my '06 is an automatic is that I hurt both knees playing football in college on the womens team. Well my '67 is a standard and it kills my knee after I have driven around town all day sooo the '06 is automatic for that reason.......

I'm actually thinking about a V6 camaro, hang with me a sec and you'll see where I'm going. A few years back I owned a Buick Regal GS. This wasn't and old folks boat. It came with a supercharged 3.8 V6 making 240hp. In a perfect world I'd find myself a V6 manual camaro, plop that supercharged beast into it and have tons o fun. That's about the ONLY way I'd get one of those cars in a 6cyl though. It'd get decent mileage and be a sleeper at the stop light at the same time.

yes and ther is nothing wrong with cmaroes I just always loved the mustangs and I come from a GM/chevy family to boot. I had a souped up toronado and it could scream my dau took it to the strip and said it had no prob doing triple didgets...could a killed her....then I traded for an Aurora v-8 yea it flat out moves BUT my v-6 mustang smokes the Auroa no problem and I was setting next to a GT the other day and listened to it start up....NO difference in it and mine! Mine flat out screams and 80 feels like 60 so I have to be careful. and for me the speed is not as critical but ohhh how I love the sounds......gonna do some more tweeking on mine.......I think the styling is more an appeal to me than the speed factor.

I had an '05 V6.. Loved that car until some lowlife, scumsucking, no license, no insurance #$)(*&$#%)(*& t-boned me last November. Got great mileage and had enough power to get you into trouble in a hurry.
