New Fusion V6 Or V6 Mustang ?
#12
Gotta disagree with my northern bud here - buying a new Mustang on the premise you might swap the motor someday is a bad idea.

Go V6 AWD Fusion. The Duratec is a way better mill than what's in the Mustang, plus you get an extra cog. Basic mods are just as easily done to the Fusion as the Mustang (intake, exhaust, re-tune, susp, wheels/tires) and it is indeed far more livable than the Stang.

Sorry DP :(

Now, if you want a fairly cheap convert that can be made to handle and has no aspirations of winter competency, get a Mustang.

Personally, I'd get a GT if a Mustang is required. A stock 05-09 is "quick" (I drove an 08) with the 4.6L, but I'll wager that a V6 vert is a little slower... even with the manual.

The V6 AWD Fusion is a snappy performer. It's still one of the only cars that I kinda wish I had grabbed instead of my truck. Mind you, I've already taken the truck plenty of places that the Fusion would never go, so... :lol:
