My 2 cents for what's it's worth I've been messing with(working on, restoring,collecting,etc.) cars a long time and I have a fairly good sized stable. That said Two big observations I have made. One there is no replacement for displacement. Sorry ,to me there is nothing like the rumble of a v8(on the record I own a couple of sixes and I love them for what they are). The second is that most Mods almost never pay for themselves from a trade in or resale perspective.So unless you plan on taking your car to the grave,I wouldn't mod it too much( a couple of cheap bolt on's couldn't hurt) I'd either love it for what it is or look to upgrade to the G.T. Oh yea one more observation,you can never have to much power so once you get the V8 You'll love it ,then you'll get used to it and look to mod it.LOL It's a vicious cycle. Good luck

I'd like to add that it is going to be a lot tougher to sell a used V6 vs a used V8, and the value of of a used V6 is alot less than a used V8.

Very true.. but a v6 new is cheaper than a v8 new. The op hasn't posted on here in awhile..do it's safe to say she is keeping the v6. As a woman...and i will get flamed here....but it always disappoints me to see the ladies rolling in a v6 automatic.

For me...it's all or nothing... hence my v8 6 speed..

see thats just it..unless your dragging the car...it really doesnt matter whats under it ..my 4.0 is very snotty and can go very quick in its own right.

maybe in my 40s now i might not need to go 100 as quick saq i use to..but dont knock the v6 itll get to 100 easy as well..

Oh pooh pooh.....I strongly disagree!!! But that is what makes this world go around!!! Everyone has their own opinions.

Call me a cylinder snob...but 6 cylinders just ain't doing it for me...on or off the drag strip...

Well the only thing a v6 has going for it is mpg. I owned three and one 5.0 and the 5.0 did just as good as my 6's did. Now if you do like my car with mods like no cats dual exhaust then gas mileage goes down. But i have very limited funds and found a nice car and bought it. For me it is what i can afford at the time i am ready to look for one. I will keep this sixxer till it dies. Then the 5.0 swap comes to life.

the way i see it make the car your own style, yes buying a gt will get more power but you have many options to get that GT power out of the the car you have, and keep the insurance rate from going to the Gt level. for the money (extra you spend) u can put a super charger, custom paint, stereo upgrade, what ever you want, you want your baby to be unique like you not like the other 150,000 to 200,000 that are sold every year.sit down and think what kind of style of personality to what the car you feel it is. i have done this, and have won 11 trophies including 2 at the state fair in my class.
