Hmm, wonders if Ford finally ditched the noisy arse throwout bearing that was prominent in ALL 05-09 V6's. I used to test drive new Fords for Pre-delivery. The V6's ALWAYS had really noisy T-O bearing versus the GT's. GT's were quiet, while I could hear all that noise come through the V6 shifter bezel.

I have never been a fan of the V6 mustangs, for good reason I think, but this new one appears to be an entirely different animal. I could see one in my future.

I always thought they looked well....wimpy. The narrow tires didn't help. I did own a 95 V-6 (ex's car) but I kind of enjoyed driving it at times.
The new one is damn fine car, noone should be ashamed to have one.

My boss is picking one up tomorrow! I'll be grilling him about it and relay his feedback ASAP...
