Default "Worst" possible design change on 2008 V6's?

I hope Ford sells a lot of 2008 Mustangs, but I don't want a design change or new option that would make me regret getting a 2007 V6 Pony Package instead of waiting on a 2008. So what would "kick" you in the rear if Ford offered it next year on the V-6? T-top,8.5" rear end, or ?

For me it would be factory dual exhaust on the V6.

I will be pissed if they put that new 3.5 liter engine they have in it, the one that produces like 245 hp or something like that... then we will be the slow kids on the block. Also, an 8.5 rear would give me a regret or two.

Thanks scrmn. Where is the diagram? I'd like to see it.
Does anyone realise they canuse the remote toopen their trunk even with the key in the ignition / engine running? Works for me on my 07.

I doubt that ford will put dual exhaust on the V6 platform simply because, they try to market the GT as the mustang with dual exhaust...if they put dual exhaust on a V6 that might make people happy, but people would buy more V6s and not GTs because of it..in turn ford wont be making as much money by getting people to get the V6...
ford wants to coax people into the GT with the 300hp V8, good ground effects all around, dual exhaust, and good grille and rear spoiler, I mean if I am a car company I would want to market my highest performing version of the car with everything...yes I agree with you that I WOULD like to see dual exhaust on a V6 but for Fords struggling market I doubt they will in the next 5 years even consider it. plus that might take the fun out of modding our cars, even if it is more expenive than normal, but you never know with the logic that ford has, maybe they will put duals on a V6 given their brilliant track record.
