This thread is going on forever, so I might as well contribute. First, 1969 Stang the Skyline has a straight 6 TT. At least until the G35 (new skyline) and g35 coupe.

On the topic, I hate big wings on anything. I may put some BFG's with the raised white letters on my Escort, but I think that would look cool. If you drive a v6 stang, you get props from me. I have no stang, and you have one. There is a reason you bought it, BECAUSE IT IS A MUSTANG. Simple as that, heritage, style and for Pete's sake it AIN'T A GM!!!

I also don't understand the hatred for the 6 stangs and silence on the 4's. I have seen countless articles about how if you want to build a hot fox start with an old 2.3 like Josh's. People don't thrash on these cars as much (partly because they can't). I like to think of the little motor cars as time capsules for me.

How hard is it to find a good v8 65-68? Fairly. There is a seemingly endless suply of straight sixes by comparison. In 20 years we will all be buying these v6 cars to drop crazy motors in and relive this so called Muscle Car Revival.

And all that they keep the stang around crap. That is a good reason for them too. I have a friend who draws cars for Mitsubishi. He told me that anyone who bought a base eclipse paid about $400 twoard some guys AWD turbo car. Simply because they couldn't make up the cost on the higher cars. I figure Ford can't be that much different, so I am offering an advance thank you to all the v6 buyers who are keeping my Cobra under 40k.
