It is only a matter of time before the V6 deliveries catch-up and pass the GT deliveries. When are manual V6s starting production?
BTW... Cool pics. B)

I've heard that they are going to start making the 5 speed V6's any day now. 
Here's something that I posted before about the V6 5 speed.
On page 122 of Matt DeLorenzo's Mustang, a New Breed of Pony Car, he quotes Ford's Chief Engineer Thai-Tang as saying that the V6 is a real sleeper in the Mustang line.
"The V-6 manual is also a really nice package as far as performance feel" Thai-Tang notes, "The transmission's internals have been changed with more precise machining of the gear set to provide smoother operation."
When equipped with this upgraded Tremec T-5 five-speed manual (ironically, the internals are the same ones that were previously used on the Chevy Camaro), the V-6 can be a hoot to drive. It's fairly quick and predictable like it's GT sibling.
Sounds like it might be worth at least test driving a five speed V6 to see how it is?

Ordered my V6 this week (11/24) just outside the Phoenix area:
V6 Premium
Windveil Blue
Dark Charcoal Interior
Automatic Transmission
Anti-Theft System
Interior Upgrade Pkg
Exterior Sports Package (White Stripe)
Side Air Bags
Anti-Lock Brakes w/Traction Control
Will be a delay because of IUP but don't know how long. Used X Plan because I have a relative who works for Ford.
