Was wondering if anyone has stories/anecdotes/hard data on whether or not you can get any increased horsepower -- in my case, for the V6 -- from upgrading your spark plug wires?

I don't know about the V6s, but on the GTs, there are no wires. Direct coil-on-plug ignition. doesn't get any better. If you DO have wires, you can probably pick up a couple ponies by upgrading, but you'll see a bigger increase from other mods, especially since the wires are so new.
GL!

Every brand of spiral conductor ignition wires will perform the function of conducting coil output to the spark plugs, but NONE, despite the claims made in advertisements and other promotional literature, will increase horsepower. Independent tests, including a test performed by Circle TrackMagazine (see May, 1996 issue) in the USA, show thatNO"low-resistance" ignition wires for which a horsepower increase is claimed do in fact increase horsepower - the test also included comparisons with solid metal and carbon conductor ignition wires. http://www.magnecor.com/magnecor1/truth.htm

Thanks PC. I think that closes the book on the matter, at least for me. One less thing to spend my cash on...

Spark plug wire upgrade = increased horsepower?
