I should have not driven the GT

[MacintoshSE]

Had my mind made up that I was getting the EcoBoost, good gas mileage and good looks. So driving by my local dealer this past Saturday afternoon I see my car right color right rims(ruby red with 20" foundry). I see that it's a GT so I say what the hell I never driven a GT before and ask the salesmen to go get the keys.

That's went the love affair started, smooth power everywhere no peaks no valleys just power. I already have a Saab 9-3 2.0T so turbo 4 are not new to me, that's why I was looking at the EcoBoost. But I think that I have been bitten by the V8 bug and there is only one cure, gas and mileage be damm I want my V8.

Now need to get the wife on board with the V8, but I believe one drive will do that.

Nothing like the fat torque curve of a modern V8 to warm your heart.

Here's how you look at fuel mileage : When it says 50 miles to E, fill it up. :cheers: On average you would pay around $650 more a year in fuel for the GT. Its worth every penny!

Dont be a tree hugger. Buy the GT. Your inner 16 year old will be thankful.

I was going to wait a few years. Then I drove a GT.

Same thing happened to me, I was going to get another V6 base, but one test drive and I was sold.

The GT is intoxicating, there's no denying. I've had a cobra or a GT for the last 8 years, I just need to switch it up. I'm sure I'll grab a V8 in the future for a summer/weekend toy, but I can't DD them anymore.

I learned this when I was 16 and was given my Grandmothers '65 Fairlane 2 dr hardtop with a 289. I'll be 52 in a few weeks and I still get a big grin on my face when I feel the torque of a V8 push me back in the seat!
I remember my boring days of driving the kids around in my mini-van with the V6......
