Keeping the GT. I've got way too much money into it.

I love the gto seats. And I can't remember what the 5.0's felt like. I've test driven the premiums and one with recaro(sp) and the recaro was too rough.

I'll go test drive another 5.0 tomorrow and see how I like it.
Just want something newer and have everything work like it should. My heater smells like ass even after a coolant flush.

Then why would you even consider an eight-year-old GM product? The GTOs were notorious piles even when they were new.

The '11+ Mustangs are smooth and quiet. Mine is a daily driver and gets 19mpg combined and around 22 on road trips. Steve is right, you will feel foolish keeping a stinky old raggedy Mustang for a "fun" car when a new 5.0 drives like a Camry and runs mid 12s.
