Coming out of BMW's and PCars 5th was 1:1 while 6th was overdrive. That being said cars with a lot of low end torque don't really need the 6spd.

Why not have a 6 speed so you can have 4.10 or 3.73 rear end, but also gain that high mpg on the highway at 70mph.

I for one have 4.10 gears and would appreciate the overdrive 6th gear.

My 1995 Firebird formula 5.7 with 6 speed turned 1800 rpm while driving in the 70 - 80 mph range, which was good fopr about 28 MPG on the highway.......give me a little lug if it means that good of gas mileage w/o cutting out half the engine.

I like it. I test drove a Bullitt at the same time I test drove my '08 GT, and I really liked the '08 Bullitt, but it just wasn't worth $5k more than my GT because there were no incentives on the Bullitt. I'll probably eventually add the Bullitt's shift **** and boot to my '08 GT.

It would really make sense for Ford to utilize as many Bullitt technologies as they can considering that Ford is not planning on making another Bullitt for 2010. This could be the main reason why.

05-09 Mustang GT's use a .68 overdrive for manual trans and .71 overdrive for auto trans.

03-04 Mach 1 used .62 overdrive for manual trans.

I'm starting to think the reason for all the interior pics is that it is the main focus of this 2010 refresh. From all I have seen from the 2010 web sight and spy photos I don't think the restyle is all that dramatic. Perhaps even less dramatic than the 98-99 body change. Now with the same old 5 speed and same old 4.6..... I'm thinking i'm going to hold on for a current gen GT500

Yes, it's rumored that we will get 3.73s. The Bullitt powertrain, transmission and suspension package finding it's way into the 2010 GT has been suggested before.
