At first I wasn't even going to reply to this ignorant post, or any of the others...but why do you care who does what with their car? I, too, did the 6 cylinder thing about 4 years ago, when I was 17 and could not have a V8. There's nothing wrong with that...and I'm always annoyed by the high and mighty attitude of those who CAN have a V8, even now that I have a GT myself.
Not everyone can have a V8, or even cares to have one. Maybe he just likes the look of the GT, but is perfectly content to drive a economical V6? And yes, I am making this personal because everyone feels the need to dog on V6 owners all the time for actually wanting to make their cars look nicer..maybe we don't want a limp dick exhaust pipe, or 15x7 wheels--does that mean we need the higher insurance rates???
The thing that annoys me about cars like this is ATTITUDE. The ones that rev annoyingly at lights, or pull fly bys after you've already smoked them..but I don't judge people because they choose to "upgrade" their automobiles with dual exhaust, or aftermarket bumpers etc...(now of course I don't think chrome fender trim is an upgrade...but that's another thread altogether
) I do think fake badges are stupid...I also did that, but wouldn't do it today...but who the heck says a STALKER bumper is a V8 modification only??
I never thought my car was fast...the stupid thing ran 17.04 for pete's sake. However, it was FUN! I loved to drive her, because she ran well, and never gave me the problems of the V8. Ricers to me are people that act like their car is a McLaren F1, and feel the need to race everyone. Maybe we have different opinions of what constitutes a true "ricer", but I had a great time with my "cobra" V6, and even the comments of people such as yourself will never change that
