The major
addition for 2006 is the V6 Pony Package. With an MSRP of $1,195, the Pony
Package, which is available on V6 coupe and convertible, comes standard
with a new 1965 Mustang GT-inspired grille which features a traditional
corral surrounding the pony and horizontal bars which lead to small
chrome-trimmed grille-mounted foglamps. The Pony is the first six-cylinder
Mustang in the 40+ year history of the car to come standard with 17"
wheels--the same "Bullitt" wheels that were standard on the 2005 Mustang
GT. The wheels, outfitted with a unique tri-bar Pony center cap, are
wrapped in P235/55ZR 17-inch tires. The Pony has a new thin-thick-thin
rocker panel tape stripe with "MUSTANG" lettering on the door and comes
standard with a rear spoiler and GT-inspired suspension modifications
featuring a larger front stabilizer bar, the addition of a rear stabilizer
bar, 4-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction
control.
The GT has two options
for 18" wheels--the "fanblades" from the 2004 showcars and 18"
Bullitt wheels.
Sonic Blue is replaced with Vista Blue, and
Mineral Grey is replaced with Tungsten Grey.
