He's talking about the shape of the powerband. The 5.0's power curve is similar to the 3.7's, just more powerful at all points.Explain. I don't understand. A 3.7 V6 feels like a 5.0 V8 with a couple cylinders chopped off? Fundamentally any engine X that is more powerful than engine Y feels like a more powerful version of engine Y, because it is.
You can typically pick up any of them under invoice if you work at it, and at worst at invoice. There will definitely be deals to be had once the '18 cars start hitting lots later this year.I think I came to some conclusion.
I asked for another testdrive with my wife this time. And we drove GT first and V6 after that. In that sequence GT feels far superior to V6.
I had 0 issues shifting/clutching and my wife had no problems at all either. So it was a matter of getting used to it.
I think Ford might be discontinuing V6 because next gen GT is getting DI and supposedly better mileage. So V6 will have even less sense to buy enginewise.
V6 is still lighter car. So if that is really important, then that's the reason to get V6. GT feels nose heavy indeed. And yes, this time I felt the Perf. pack on GT.
GT... next gen engine will be better...
My wife enjoyed GT over V6. So maybe that will be the hint for me.
It sounds to me that either V6 or GT 2017 should be bought after some good price negotiations in the light of oncoming 2018 model updates.
What are they typically go for? Invoice, MSRP? Never hadvford before... but typically was buying for around invoice.
I doubt I could find my car at the lot (int/ext color, options,etc)
I bought my 2016 last summer new for about $40k, $43k out the door. But that was an 401a Premium, auto trans, adaptive cruise control, nav, sensors, security package, and 20" foundry wheels. So you can easily find one with fewer options in the low to mid $30's. Also, they generally run 0% financing starting in mid summer.I think I came to some conclusion.

Lol i got mine for 21k at madison future fordWith some simple mods the V6 is a fun car to drive and you can pick one up for under 24k new. Insurance will also cost you less. I've owned mine for 7 months now and have no regrets.
Just out of curiosity, is your first language English?I think I came to some conclusion.

What would be good source of information on mustang invoice prices?You can typically pick up any of them under invoice if you work at it, and at worst at invoice. There will definitely be deals to be had once the '18 cars start hitting lots later this year.
I personally know several folks who got great deals on their cars. One was a GT with PP and Recaros for $33k, and the other was a GT Premium w/ PP for just over $35k.
Enjoy the bad MPGs, heavy car that can't turn and double insurance rates! Oh and unusable power! And the fragile ego! (I might be missing some things haven't been into the eco or V6 sections in a long time).I hate that I bought a GT instead of a V6. I hate running 11s N/A with minimal effort and the aftermarket support for the Coyote sucks. I hate being different then all the school teachers and old ladies in town as they laugh at me when they fly pastin their base V6 automatics. It is frustrating, but we all have to live with our mistakes.
