Thanks, Forrest.
I have no problem with people with fast cars, even if it's an automatic. I just think it's funny (where I live) when I see kids with fast cars, bought with daddy's money, try to drag race every stoplight. All they have is a rich daddy and a right foot, to slam the gas pedal on their automatic to go vroom. I have a right foot, but I don't have a rich daddy. Maybe that's why I'm bitter, hehe.

you guys missed some stuff the performance pack also comes with those love em or hate em 19" black&polished spoke wheels with summer rated 255/40/19 tires which I think is a big reason for the better skidpad numbers&acclleration ad that in and the package is a steal at the price of $1995 though unfortunately it's not going to be available until the end of summer

Aren't those wheels the same as the '11 GT/CS wheels? As to a V-6 with the PP being a collectible(in the far distant future), I highly doubt it. Unless you never, ever drive the thing, it has the common parts from other Mustangs, so it's uniqueness won't be much as you'd be led to believe. As the parts list for the PP stated, it's got GT pieces with GT500 LCAs, you could buy these pieces at a discount from people modifying their GTs & GT500s and construct your own PP V-6 for pennies on the dollar. I'd go aftermarket, the factory parts(while designed well) have constraints from the bean counters at Ford(just compare an aftermarket LCA to a factory piece & you'll see what I mean). Those expensive Pirelli's are the only real value in the PP IMO...........
