Plus the thing will get 29+ MPG on the highway. It's a very versatile car and a great value.
Wow...look at all these stang owners coming out of the woodwork. What did I start??????
Congrats to you both on getting the latest gen stangs. Ford has really stepped up and delivered. You'll love it.

Can't wait to see the pics and plans for the car, I'm subscribed to this thread, once again, congrats!
Thanks man, the TA just didn't work out as a daily driver and I was yearning for more. Besides, there's no point in making payments on a car you don't enjoy driving. The v6 is actually a 3.7 liter with the variable timing valvetrain that makes awesome power all through the powerband. And yes, the 6-speed just doubles the fun of driving any car.
These new v6's are no joke and if you can get past the "macho" factor, they're a great alternative to the pricier GT.

I know they do decent, I averaged 19-20 city and like 25-26 highway. There's more reasons than just that for me to move on though.

Since I got my Cobra I subscribed to the 2 big Mustang Mags. They've done some incredible things with the V6's. I know with bolt ons and a tune they got them to over 400HP. CAI, Free Flow Exhaust, and a BAMA Tuner are the starting points. Congratulations. In my past I had 2 white with Shelby blue striped 70 Fastbacks. Much easier to keep clean than my Black Cobra, so I think you'll be glad you got white. Plus it will be great in the Hot Florida sun. And you'll definitely have fun with the 6 speed. My wife and I are always wishing we had the 6th gear for the highway. Have fun with it!
Learning to detail for fun and to show my 96 Ford SVT Cobra, Black. My dad always said I was going to wax the paint right off my car. Would wax every weekend. GG 6" DAP

Thanks! I haven't thought about the heat factor yet, the black TA with the grey leather interior was blistering after sitting out in the sun all day. Window tint will be the first "mod" I do to the new stang.
