Testdrove V6 MT and GT MT Performance Pack.
Speaking of engines, you are right, 5.0 feels just like the more powerful version of 3.7 . Might be subjective but I felt like V6 was happier/eager to rev to red line, while GT wanted me to shift earlier.
Shifter could have some more accuracy especially around 5 and 6 gear, but that is a matter of getting used to it.
Clutch. Clutch made me a little concerned. I couldn't make smooth shift from 1st to 2nd without really trying as pedal travel is a bit too long and my leg was in the air fighting its own gravity, lateral Gs and trying to make the shift smooth at the same time. I know it's the same in both cars, but it felt worse in V6. Both cars didn't have floor mats and V6 floor was still covered in plastic. Maybe that's why it felt worse.
Random thoughts deciding between the two:
- v6 really has enough power for me.
- both engines sound different, but nice
- I have noone to race with that V8
- can I handle V8 sound for hours during long trip?
- does V8 even need gearbox with this many gears?
- v8 felt nose heavy versus V6.
- I did not feel like performance pack made any real diff between the two.
- V6 has depressing just black interior with no other options.
- if I'll hate that clutch, I better suffer with more horsepower (v8)
- overall Mustang might be better served with AT
Stoll hasn't decided, but I definitely did not like plain black cloth V6 interior and sounds like there's no other option.
