I have had quite a few people ask about mine and interestingly enough, not one person has asked what motor it's running. You know, you don't even have to say it's a V6 if that bothers you, just tell people it's a 210 hp 4.0 liter. If they ask if it's a 6 or 8, tell them it's a 6 that runs like an 8

Goxley, that's a great color combo. Love the light graphite interior with the blue.

I just HAD to have the red interior and felt the red looked most dramatic with the black exterior, so that's what I went with on mine. I love it!

There isn't anything wrong with the V6. I have a GT but there are so few on the road. I only see 05 V6s in my area, but we are all Mustang owners and everyone waves. Both are great cars.

The red interior with the black must be awesome--nice subtle contrast. What color are the stripes? Here's a couple mors shots of mine showing the top stripes. Mine are silver.

There is absolutley nothing wrong with the v6...i mean traditionaly when you think mustang you think of a high horse power v-8 muscle car...but nowadays you have to think of what you want inyour car...if you want a good looking car to show off and cruise in then you dont need the v-8, get the v-6 and use the insurance money to trick it out. People have diffrent taste and if other v-6 owners are like me they chose to buy the v-6 for the economy of it and the looks, not for power.

Thanks! The stripes are white. If I ever do hood/ deck stripes, the side stripes will come off and the new stripes will be dark red to match the interior. I would probably have side stripes done to match as well. I doubt I'll ever do that unless the car gets smashed (NOOOOO!!!!!) Nice top stripes on yours, looks like a pretty close match to the side stripes.

Another comment about buying the V6 instead of the GT, that leaves you that much more money to set aside each month so you can buy a Shelby when it comes out You'll want to keep the 6 of course, you'll need a daily driver

It does not matter if you got a V6, or a GT. The chicks could give a %$#. All they know is its a hot car, and believe me you will still get laid
That's pretty sad! You need a hot car in order to get laid??? In other words you may as well put a bag over your head because the "chicks" are having a fantasy about the car, not you! Sad world!
