Hey, I've been looking into getting a used Mustang and I'm really trying to keep it under 10,000. Im trying to decide whether or not to go for the GT. I like the fact that the GT makes alot more power than the the standerd mustang but it comes with a bigger price tag and an engine that drinks up a bit more gas. Im going to be using it as a daily driver so I don't want something thats really going to drink it up, but I dont want something underpowered either. I was thinking that if I didn't go with the GT it would leave me with more money to work on the engine.

I really can't make up my mind and wanted to know what your guys opinions were. And yes I did a search.

 

GT or bust. Everything else will leave you wanting more and feeling inferior. I know from experience..

 

In my opinion having anything other than a V8 Mustang isn't the full Mustang experience. Go for the GT, you'll like the power when you need it.

 

How much worse is it on gas?

 

If you are worried about the Gas buy a prius if you want a car that will perform buy a V8 Mustang plain and simple you cant have both one will suffer for the other. If you are worried about gas milage dont buy any car that has anything larger then a 4 cyl IMO

 

I don't know what its like with the 04 or previous models but our 08GT/CS with the 300hp 4.6 got 29mpg on a 500km highway trip and that was not driving like an old man at all. Highway speed averaged 115km/h and the terrain changed from straight away prairies to up and down curvy mountain roads and some very hard acceleration while passing in the mountains. I have no idea what it averages around town.

 

Go with the GT or go home lol

 

Well it wasn't so much that im worried about getting a car thats good on gas. I know if I buy a mustang its not goin to give me great gas mileage, it was more of a thing of is the GT alot worse than the standerd mustang. I am leaning more towards the GT but I don't want to get some thing im going to regret buying as a daily driver.

 

Gt at a minimum or bust. The 6 is not that much better than the gt on gas No offence to the 6 gang

 

The GT may be the way to go but there a lot more V6 out there and they are still fun to drive and fix up . I'm on my third mustang and it does happen to be a V6 so find something you really like , can afford and have fun. The V8 may have made the mustang name but it has been the V6 that has kept it alive for the majority of mustang lovers .
