Default Axle promo package?

On my window sticker there is a -995.00 for an axle promo package. Anybody have a clue what this is? I asked the salesman and he was going to check on it, but I just got in a rush to get on the road and spaced it out.

Thanks

Do you have a manual transmission with a 3.31 rear end ratio? I think Ford was having trouble selling those cars because customers wanted a higher numerical ratio. So Ford reduced the price on the 3.31 manual transmission cars. I'm not absolutely sure about this, but I think it's correct. If anyone else has better info, please chime in!

I believe they are discounting GT's with 3.3 gears since most people do not want them.

You are correct.

Thanks all, makes sense. Personally I don't mind the gearing, seems to have plenty of pep for me. I'll take an extra grand in my pocket for now.
