#2388 of 2845 Won't Handle like a GT? by mschmal Sep 24, 2006 (3:49 am)
Um, thats what the Pony package is for.   BTW. there was some question as to whether the Pony package does include the rear sway bar.   I assure you it does. (checked under one myself).   Incidently, the V6 has prolly about 150 to 200 less pounds hanging out ahead of the front axle; accordingly, it may handle even better as the weight distribution is closer to 50/50.   Someone with lots of racing trophies on his shelves once told me "Its more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow."   I live in NJ. We have twice as many state troopers than PA which like twice the size and i think like 3 times the population. Fast is good but 2 fast is not good.   Mark.

Replying to: mschmal (Sep 24, 2006 3:49 am) Is that the package with the cheesy door stripe? Replies to this message: akirby (Sep 24, 2006 7:25 am)

Replying to: gzgtp (Sep 24, 2006 4:19 am) Look at the ad to the left (if it's still there). It's really the grille and suspension mods. The tape stripe is on the bottom just like the others and it can be deleted.

Replying to: mschmal (Sep 24, 2006 3:49 am) Doesn't that Pony Package V6 cost nearly as much as a base GT?

Replying to: lmm (Sep 25, 2006 10:14 am) So about 3 grand shy of a base GT. Add in the performance package that someone mentioned and it is within spitting distance of a base GT, pricewise. And you'd still be lacking a more stout transmission, better brakes, more HP, more torque and, arguably, more "prestige."

Replying to: mschmal (Sep 25, 2006 9:51 am) How long have you owned your V-6 w/pony package? I test drove both the GT and the V-6. I'm pretty sure the V-6 I test drove had the pony package because I remember not liking the door stripe. From my test drive, I can tell you there was no comparison and I ended up with the GT. Not saying the V-6 is not a good car, just didn't delight me enough. Hope you are enjoying yours.

#2396 of 2845 Door stripe. by mschmal Sep 26, 2006 (4:06 am)
The V6 with "Exterior Appearance" also has a door strip but it is slightly different from the Pony package stripe.   The only well to tell is by lookinag at the grill if you didn't see a chrome corral surrounding the pony with small fog lights">, it wasn't a pony package.   In regard to the "base GT", my dealer doesn't order any. All the GTs we have are at least $29k MSRP.   The MOST expensive V6 mustang is still under 25k. Half are under 24k.   Mark.
#2397 of 2845 Re: Pony Package is $750. [gzgtp] by lmm Sep 27, 2006 (5:34 pm)
Replying to: gzgtp (Sep 25, 2006 10:42 am) A comparable GT Premium with the same options as my Pony Pkg is $29,170. I bought mine in December 2005 and GT's only sold at MSRP with no X plan pricing. I bought my V6 on X plan for $21500.   Quite the difference in price. The V6 is quick enough for me and the ~8k difference was significant enough to go to not worry about HP. There is always another version with more HP so price was choice. Replies to this message: gzgtp (Sep 28, 2006 4:22 am) lmm (Sep 28, 2006 10:01 am)
