The Deuce has a good point! There are more V-6 stangs sold than there are V-8 stangs! It is all about marketing and making $. It is about NVH (noise, vibration, harshness). If you look at the "average" Mustang buyer you would find that they do not want the harsh ride that comes from having a better handling car, they do not want the louder exhaust that makes more H.P. They do not want the little driveabilty quirks that sometimes appear on higher H.P. N/A cars. The cost per car to implement just a few of the changes is not much but times it by several thousand cars and you end up with a $30K Mustang instead of a $25K car. Believe it or not the "average" Mustang driver does NOT want to modify their cars. Be glad that there are a lot of us who do and that drives a huge aftermarket. Besides IF Ford built the perfect Mustang (in our opinion) then all of those "poor" aftermarket companies would go out of business! Nobody to sell parts to anymore. DAMN the 03 Cobra is almost that car! And for ONLY 35K!! It takes virtually nothing to get them to run 11's! How sweet is that!
