#517 of 1060 Re: Convertible or Not? [sonicblucrisis] by jimmira76 Nov 28, 2005 (3:28 pm)
Replying to: sonicblucrisis (Nov 25, 2005 8:12 am) I totally have to agree with you on being able to hold a conversation w/the top down. At 80 mphs it does get a little harder. I can't say that there is much difference to me in wind noise with the top up though. Top down, to me though, is definitely the way to go!
#518 of 1060 Pony Package stabilizer bar? by rmackowsky Nov 29, 2005 (12:04 pm)
Posted this on the problems board; figured I'd try here as well.   I've read several articles that say the V6 Pony Package includes upgraded stabilizer bars to improve handling to be more GT-like. However, I cannot find this info in any official Ford brochure or on the Ford website. In fact, the website's description of the Pony Package mentions nothing about the sway bars. Has this upgrade been confirmed by Ford? If so, where? I'm not sure I'd get the Pony Package unless I know with certainty that this stabilizer bar upgrade is true.

Replying to: purplegt (Nov 25, 2005 6:11 pm) Purple....GREAT NEWS!   Go over to the Real World Trade-in Values thread and ask rroyce (Terry) what you're trade is worth. He's usually "spot on".   I'm not a fan of Ziebart, or any rust/finish protection. Mostly, manufacturers warn against extra rust/finish protection since they usually cause more problems than they solve. Plus, your Mustang uses galvanized steel which won't rust (unless damaged).   Good luck!

Replying to: rmackowsky (Nov 29, 2005 12:04 pm) Hey rmack. I posted a response for you at the other thread but I'll put it here too. I just got my 06 V6 with pony package last week and it does have front & rear stabalizers. I also got to test drive one w/out the pony package & one with & you can tell the difference as to which has the GT suspension & which doesn't. The suspension, stabilizers, & bigger tires really do make a differnce & help make the car feel more "grounded".... Replies to this message: mcbuckster (Nov 30, 2005 6:36 pm)

Replying to: jimmira76 (Nov 30, 2005 10:07 am) Can the front and rear stabilizers be seen easily? What should I look for (I want to verify they exist on a V6 Im looking at). Thanks.
#522 of 1060 Pony Package and 5 speed by yannick Nov 30, 2005 (9:49 pm)
I have heard that Ford wont build a Pony with a 5 speed but I went to ebay and saw some for sale.   I still havent heard anything from Ford (ordered one about 2 weeks ago) ...   Whats a VOC?   I am hoping that I can get the car I want.   WHY wouldnt Ford build a Pony Package with the 5 speed? WHY?? What would the logic be??

Replying to: yannick (Nov 30, 2005 9:54 pm) Hey yannick...saw the ebay listing & don't know what to say. It's interesting to say the least. I don't know why I was told differently when I was trying to order a v6 pony package with manual transmission. I also tried that "build your own car" feature & on Ford's website & it wouldn't let me do it. I'm a little bummed if that isn't the case since I had to get an auto trans... On a brighter side, the car is still a fun ride even with an auto trans so although I would've preferred manual, auto is still ok & my wife feels more comfortable driving it than a manual. To answer your question about the VOC - it's a vehicle order confirmation sheet. Graphicguy has covered it before on this thread but basically it details, item by item, all the features & options (i.e. which tires, type of seats, type of stereo, etc.)of the car you ordered & it should list a priority code as well. The priority code is usually indicative how long it'll take to get your vehicle built & delivered. Priority 10 is pretty good. That's what I had & got my mustang in 6 weeks. Not every dealer will just offer up a copy of the VOC to so you should take the initiative & ask for a copy. It ensures that your car was ordered from Ford.

Replying to: jimmira76 (Dec 02, 2005 10:21 am) I wish the dealerships would be more open. I'm going to ask for the VOC and priority code, but I bet they claim that they do not know what it is, or they'll ask me 'what I need it for', they are defensive about sharing info. I ordered mine about 6 weeks ago, hadnt heard 1 word from the dealer so I emailed a couple of days ago, I got a 1 sentence reply that 'they hope to hear something soon'. Itll be worth the wait, but it would be nice to know how things are going.

Replying to: jimmira76 (Dec 02, 2005 10:21 am) Bad news I guess, I just got my VOC and my priority code on a V6 that I ordered about 5 weeks ago. My priority code is 80 which doesnt sound good. Who assigns these numbers, did my dealer assign an 80 to me? & Does this mean that Itll take 6 months to build my car?
