B) I have read a few posts on different forums, where the posters whole reason for posting was to bash the V6 Mustang. I don't understand this mentality; is not a Mustang a Mustang? I mean is the size of the engine in a Mustang what makes it a Mustang? I think not. If it's the go fast thing, well there is always somebody out there that can smoke your butt no matter what you are driving. I have a V6 and find the car to be a blast to drive, and as far as it's power, (or lack of depending on your perspective) it has more power than any other V6 I have ever driven, and I have driven a few (49 years old mind you).The 05 Mustang is a beautiful car, if it's a GT that you need, then by all means lay down the cash and go have fun. But if a V6 will do for the majority of the population, why the bashing from the GT owners? I love the Mustang GT or V6 doesn't matter a Mustang is a Mustang. And this coming from a die hard Chevy man.

I agree with you. The V6 Stang is one reason we still have a Mustang at all. Without those extra sales the V6 generates, the Mustang would be as dead as the F-bodies or (worse IMHO) a small coupe based on the Focus (for all you Focus fans out there, no slight intended. I just don't think it's the right platform for the Mustang).

Congrats you are the 100,000,000th person to start up a v6 hater thread.
Jokes aside. The only people that truly hate a v6 can't afford to buy one theselves anyway. I want a gt but still think the v6s are very cool.

Some people who will remain nameless....
Have a pickle up their bum and think the V6 mustang isn't worthy of the name for some reason.
Mustangs are mustang, 4, 6 or 8
They may be slower etc, but they are still stangs.
Some V6 mentality ticks me off, just as much as some v8 mentality.

Do I get a Prize..LOL No really you'll have to forgive me....as I stated in my previous post, I came over from the "darkside"(Chevy which hasn't built a darn thing worth owning for a while now) . So the V6/GT thing is new to me. Ford designers have hit a nerve with this Mustang it's a beautiful thing!

I look at it this way, if the GT is a good deal with 300hp for 25k how good of a deal is the V-6 with over 200hp at 20k? When the time comes it would be nice if Ford put the updated 3.5L V-6 (supposed to be 270hp if I recall) in the pony, but I am just glad there is a V-6 pony at all and the current V-6 car is a screaming deal.
Also I believe real Mustang fans appreciate every Mustang wether they love the model or not, because they all helped keep the pony alive. And, as a certain snooty woman doing time used to say "That's a good things"

I agree the V6 is a great car and it's a Mustang. I happen to have a V8 but I have nothing against a V6. I also have a Contour SVT V6 and I love it as much as the V8. To each his own.

V6 5 speed Manual Test Drive
I also noticed that the Dealership had around 10 V6's, and only 1 GT. So, I think that you might start to expect some big discounts on the V6 Mustang in the next couple of months as they pile up at the Dealerships. B)
I think the V6 is going to be a even better deal pretty soon!

I have always been a Chevy guy and never liked the Mustang except for the 65 - 68 model years and have always loved the Shelby Mustang GT cars through those years. When I saw the "retro" 05 Mustang it struck a nerve with me and I opted to get one. I love the styling of these cars and V6 or V8 it is one heck of a good looking car.
