I really like the V6 styling. I'm getting pretty excited to drive the 5 speed manual V6 when they get them in......

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 know this topic was brought up before, but I cannot find it either... Does anyone recall when the manual v6's are suppose to be arriving?

Really? I've found the foglights on GTs awesome.

Although, the sticker the v6s have on the sides make up for it

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?

Redfire looks awesome!

You wouldn't happen to have a pic of a Torch Red one would you?

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.
