Where was the camaro for all those years. Oh that’s right, noone bought them because they were pieces of shit with a nice motor and they were discontinued. Ford didn’t need a 6-speed becasue they knew how to build a nice car that people actually wanted to buy instead of the camero.

Nice Mustang. My wife wants one for Christmas next year.

Jeff what is these ???
Power steering cap and some kind of coolant line??

It’s an “induction sound tube” so you can hear the engine better.

Why is there one in the GT500?

How about: Ford didn’t use a 6-speed because they needed a way to keep the cost down.

I would prefer that it had the 6-speed, especially with the 3.73 gears. It’s somewhere around 2000 rpm at 60 mph in 5th gear, so that overdrive gear would be nice. But if the car had cost more, would I have bought it? :dunno:

I remember hearing about that induction sound tube. Pretty cool idea

It all comes down to money.

It would be nice, as a gearhead, to have the 6-spd but all of the women and old guys who make up the majority of mustang sales could probably care less, they are getting the auto anyway.
