Mustang Timeline: 2006

previous year 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 next year

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.

Ford Motor Company and Shelby Automotive celebrate the 40th Anniversary of one of the most legendary Mustangs of all time with the unveiling of the 2006 Shelby GT-H Mustang at the New York International Auto Show. Click here for more on the GT-H.

For 2006, Roush released their supercharged Roush Stage 3 Mustang, producing 415 horsepower and 385 lb-ft torque.

For 2006, the Saleen convertible has an optional styling bar and tonneau cover, and the coupe gets a scenic roof, much like the Classic Design Concepts Glassback. The S281-SC gets a 35-horsepower increase to 435, and the N/A S281 goes from 325 to 330 horsepower.

Steeda will produce 20 Q525s with a 500-hp 5.0L supercharged engine. Check out the forums for more info.
