Is the car for your wife, or for you? It seems like most all the girls I know with stangs (present company excluded) drive the V6 versions. The guys I know most all drive the V8 versions. If you are just looking for a nice, comfortable, reliable car for your wife, the v6 fits the bill nicely. On the other hand, if you're thinking "mustang" because it is synonomous with "power," you will find that "mustang" "power" and "v6" do not go together. I've owned a 95 V6 stang, a 97 GT, and now the 2000 GT and the 94 cobra. I paid about 20K for the GT, and 8500 for the Cobra. Both car's are awesome, and my v6 was WORLDS away from the power the new GT's have. You can put a damn supercharger on the new V6's and still get beat by stock GTs. Think about it. If power is of little or no concern, the v6 stangs are perfect rides. If you think you will ever desire more HP from your stang, DEFINITELY go with the GT from the start; it will save you much money, time, and frusteration. Let us know what you decide. Good luck!
