Default Differences between 2005 and 2006?

Aside from the wheel options, are there any other differences or changes made to the 2006 Mustang from the 2005 model?

I thought they updated the gas tank and stiffened the hood....

Well, I haven't heard any hood clatter at 120 m.p.h. The Shaker500 seems solid. And no odd clicking from the front axle. Coincedence?

I know at over 120 the hood on my 06 moves enough to catch my eye. Was very unsettling the very first time I noticed it, as I didn't like the distraction!

having owned both, I did notice that the hood is more stable at high speeds, no popping in the strut area and the wheel hop is gone.....

I have about 2K miles on my 06 and am getting a slight groan from the front end when I make slow turns. Anyone else getting this? My power steering fluid level is OK. Maybe the oversized tires (275's)?

Was this a problem with the 05's?
