Well, insurance reasons, fuel mileage, price for a few reasons......

according to the Ford specs, this is how they compare;

09 models

Mustang GT----
300 hp/320-tq
mileage---15 to 22 mpg
MSRP----$27,995.00

Mustang 6cyl coupe---
210hp/240tq
mileage----17 to 26 mpg
MSRP----$20,430.00

When the new body style came out in 05, I was at a dealer and talked to a salesman,he said he and another salesman took a 6 cyl car and a GT for a test ride and they did a drag race and then swapped cars and did it again, he told me he would not have believed how close the 6 cyl car was to the GT from 0 to 75 mph had he not done it himself....

The 6 cyl cars make very good,ecomomical daily drivers, for less money up front and less insurance premium.... throw on a 5lb Vortec supercharger for 3k and you'll out preform a GT all day long.....

BTW: Some Ford dealers are making killer deals, cars are not moving.... this past december a budy bought an 08 GT with a 5 sp, 3.55 rear gears and leather interior for the price of a 6 cyl car... Dealer was loaded down with GTs still on the lot and needed to move them as the 09s were coming in.............
