Canadian V6 supposedly has single 3" Exhaust, Pony gets upgraded to a bright 3.5" tip.

Also, all Canadian V6 Coupes get a 17x5" Mini Spare, V6 Conv. & GT get 18x4.5" alum. mini spare ... does Ford feel that Canadian's are more apt to USE a spare than the typical US driver ??

Find it interesting that there is SO much variation between these two markets.

I never understood it either. Why so many variations between the 2 markets so close to each others. Maybe to make them more exclusive. I can understand about the DRL's, but the other stuff i don't get it. The mini spare is 18", so happens with those that have the Brembo package and 19" wheels ?

Canada gets only a FRACTION of the cars that the US gets. We are SUCH a small market for the Mustangs part of the pie.
They try to minimize the ammounts of configs, so we get a lot of the stuff standard.

In a way its good, because we get a lot of options for a good price, compared to the US builds,
on the other hand its bad, because we can't just order a bare bones GT or get rid of certain options.

As I remember from my 2006 coupe the Canadian cars have other differences. Mine didn`t have a speed limiter set at the factory.

I could do 120 mph right out of the box !

The exhaust is 2.5" in diameter and I think muffler tips were originally 2.5" also, but right now I have 3" muffler tip.

That still doesn't explain why so many variations for the same car with basically similar markets even though we're a small fraction of all sales. Why not just give us the same content. That would make things a lot more easier for them !!!
Anyway's, i'll probably be getting mine south of the border with our strong dollar which could be at par very soon. Now is the time folks. They need a boost in their economy, so i'm doing my share.
