Wondering How Many Will Pony Up For The New "Pony Package"

FYI -- For 2006, Ford will reportly offer GT suspension upgrades, small
foglamps in the grill, and optional 18" wheels on V6 Mustangs and call
it the "Pony Package".

Personally, I think it's a great idea.  It'll help sell Mustangs to who
want a sportier car than the base V6, but aren't willing to pay for the
GT's higher insurance rates and lower gas mileage numbers.

What are your thoughts?

If they offer it in a convertible (and don't add nonfunctional scoops,
airdams and spoilers) then I probably will let go of my 89 LX 5.0 vert and
get one of those. Best idea I have heard from Ford since the Bullitt.

I've been working on trying not to have those thoughts.

Works both way - I think some GT owners will see it as the "Faux GT"
package and be upset that the V6 is posing as a GT.

How about Ford offering a GT with the "Gelding Package" so that it looks
like the V6?

I know I can!  Great idea!  Let me add the new LX should also be
tailored to make the following equipment optional:

Roll-up windows
A/C delete
Radio delete
Power steering delete
Rear seat delete
Driving light delete
Light-weight hood
Trunk mounted battery

A 5.0 Cammer engine would be standard as would the GT-500's gauge
package.

   That sounds like a Thunderbolt package, not a Pony...

Can't be any worse than the morons I saw on the highway the other day with a
99+ V6 vert with SVT/COBRA badge in the back and on the fenders. The 99+ (at
least TTBOMK) had an option for a 'pony package' which included the
accentuated hood scoop, fog lamps, etc. Not sure if there were any
performance/suspension inclusions.

Not too long ago I saw a V6 with 'TypeR' badges.  Just too funny.

If I only get the V6 car I'm thinking of adding this option. I just only
wish they added dual exhaust as well.

     Has to have a bench seat and dual exhaust that comes THROUGH the
rear bumper fascia to be a true Pony package. I don't like that name. I
don't want to grab a pony package....
