The V6 sounded interesting, but still love the droan of the V8. How about a Shelby motor/gearbox option? I like the shaker hood so that would catch my eye. Not a big fan of the current spoiler, wish something along the lines of a CDC/Xenon design was an option. Also wish Ford would go to electric fans, more efficient and puts more hp in the back.
 
 Inside would like the aluminum pedals like the GTO comes with. How about a 160 speedo option?
 
Last but not least a cloaking device to hide from our dedicated law enforcement comunity............

4. Want Ford to sell a car w/ these options, w/ full warrantee. Am strictly a bone stock user.
 
Well, you could buy a GT500 or Shelby GT for some "stock" goodies now if you want to get technical. I'm a bone stock user myself but I've watched some shows where they bolted some of the aftermarket stuff on to an '05 Mustang and a 5 year old could do it. Let's just say I am now intrigued.
 
5. Customize colors from the factory? Good luck with that!
 
Round-spoked 18" wheels suck, look like wagon wheels.
 
I'm assuming you're talking about the "Bullitt" style wheels? I have the other 18" wheels on my '06, often called "fanblades", and I find them rather nice. They are the wheels Ford used on the concept Mustang back in '03 or '04. IMO Ford does have a wheel for everyone right now. That's what the Mustang is all about. What it's not about is customization from the factory.
 
Hell yes, I'd mind! Car is already being built on a Mazda line
 
I second that! Technically AAI is joint owned and not a Mazda plant. Ford has built vehicles there for quite some time now. I had the other car that's built there for a couple of years before I replaced it with the Mustang. It's amazing that two such different vehicles can roll down the same line.

Don't make bets against it for 2012.

The survey asked if you would pay $200 more (as in if the car itself were $200 more) for IRS.
 
Mark.

Mine is an '06, has 13,000 miles, been groaning in turns since 6,000 miles. I tried syn lube and moly, but I suppose it needs an adjustment or different friction discs. I'd rather live with the noise than have other guy's hands in there. Has anyone had any real consequences such as a lock up or fragmentation?

The V6 doesn't have electric fans?

Honestly don't know. Just wish my GT had them.

I was under the impression that the radiator fan in the 2005+ Mustangs is electric. I'm pretty sure mine is but I never really dove in there to check for sure.

How old is your GT? The GT has had an electric fan for around 10 years now.

Trivia question. The 2000-2002 Lincoln LS had neither an electric fan nor an engine driven fan. What drove the fan?

Okay, so I'm the village fool.....one of those things were the brain doesn't accept what the eyes see.
 
Which brings up another question. Driving in South Florida with the air on, after turning the vehicle off, I never hear the fan running as I have with other electric fan cooled cars I've owned. My bud who also has an 06 GT and son who had an 06 GT and now an 07 don't ever remembering hearing theirs run either.
