Delivering power from either engine to the rear wheels is a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearbox. (Sorry, no paddle shifters.)
The Drive
Equipped with the wonderfully precise short-throw manual shifter, the V8 will get you from zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, and the V6 will do it in 5.5. Both will do a quarter mile in the 13-second range. Despite the presence of Brembo brakes, the GT still took an extra 4 feet to slow from 60 mph compared to the V6 car, due to the GT's 3605-lb. curb weight, which is approximately 150 lbs heavier.

No need to apologize, I'll readily admit that I don't look to PM for info on cars.
That said, the sour grapes on this forum are amazing. Let me offer a helping hand, that 12.7 second 1/4 mile run wont go away no matter the amount of wishing that takes place in this forum.
