Saw a Mineral Gray and dark charcoal v6 on 495 North near 93 in MA on my way to work. It had IUP and spoiler delete. Boy was it ugly, I didn't like it at all. Had Herb Chambers tags all over it. I hope I don't feel the same way when I see mine.

I think it was the soiler delete I hated the most, then no foglights, then the color.

I really don't like them without the fog lights, and I think with the fog lights the look is just a little better. But, I love the look with the fogs in the center, so that will be something I will have to do.

Last weekend I saw three of them, but one stands out: A Sonic Blue V6 on the back of a flat-bed tow truck with the hazzard lights blinking away as it was towed down the freeway. Seeing that made me feel the way a penguin must feel when a Killer Whale pops out of the water and eats one of his fellow penguins. I was just glad it wasn't me.

I'm wondering how long it will be before the novelty of the 05' will wear off and people will no longer turn there heads to admire them. I still get looks all the time, but I imagine it won't be long before the 05's are everywhere and people will get over it.

Yes the new Mustang is extremely rare around here. You never see them on the road. People are buying them though obviously. I just think people are garaging them until the spring.

There are plenty of V6's on the lots in MA. I also saw a mineral grey in Fitchburg and didn't like it. At first I thought it was the color I wanted till I saw it in person. Looks brown to me. No offense to MG owners, just my personal taste. Anyway, Herb Chambers wanted 3000 over Invoice! Ordered mine in Raynham for MSRP.

Spoiler delete is a option for the GT only

But V6s come standard without the spoiler, so it is technically the same thing.

I saw three on Thanksgiving day but I've hardly see any since then.
Got a build week of Feb 28th so hope to be seeing one all the time soon.

Have only seen 1 GT and 1 V6 on the road here in CT. Redfire GT was spotted two weekends ago, and a co-worker bought a Satin Silver V6 a month ago, drove it to work for a week, and must have garaged it since. That's it.

I've been lucky enough to see quit a few and even a couple of convertibles, but then I only live 20 minutes from Ford HQ.
