I remember back when I got my 05 stang in May of last year I was usually the only one on the road with one. I got constant headturns and compliments on my car. A year and a half later... they'r eeverywhere. On my way home today I saw a total of 13 new mustang v6s. Thirteen. Wow. What in the world is going on here? Soon everyone and their brother will have a 4.0 stang Now GTs... those are still rare sights.

In my area, I see more GT's than V6's. But then again, I see more M3's, S4's and M5's than anything else. Oh and the STI is very popular around here too. Depends on where you live. Long live the stang. The more the better. Just customize yours, put some stripes and a ducktail on it and you will stick out and get your head turns.

Yea I got mine on Aug 30th of 2005 and I noticed the same thing. A lot of other people have them too now and not as much head turns. Its to be expected though as the car gets older. Heck just think when those V6 Camaros come out, everyone is going to be all over there nuts along with the V6 challenger ( If there gunna make one) for the first few years also. We'll be old news!!! Thats why I blew mine out so I at least stand a small chance lol.

Although I do like the compliments and stares towards our rides..
I'm thinking that with more new 'Stangs on the road, hopefully a lesser desire for some idiots to vandalise our cars.. [:-]
ya, in like 2011 when they actually release the new Camaro, which I guarantee will look almost nothing like the pics out now, they will have to make a v6, as it will be their big money maker. Till then, the v6 mustang is the only affordable american true sports car out there.
camero is supposed to have a v6 model according to to consumer reports they rated what it was supposed to be like FYI just a hair better then a stock stang
But i saw the model at the detroit auto show didnt really care for it that much
yes I actually have a motor trend right here with all the info about the V6 camaro that GM has told them about. What they did was run a simulator of the mustang vs the camaro with all the info that they know about both cars. I just put the info about the camaro down because I am sure we all know the mustang stats or have a good idea of them at least.
