The 2.0T is a much better value.

The propeller shaft issue in the v6 stangs was an issue that arose years ago with the original Crown Vic's. The Vic's that were originally used for Taxi's and passenger cars had the lighter econo-single shaft while the interceptors and marauders had the split-heavier duty shaft (it was part of the original police package). The issue was less prevalent then (largely because the issue was confined to the Vic and people don't usually take those over 120 unless they're cops). But with that in mind it sort of confused me as to why Ford would use a light-weight single shaft in the v6 stang with it's current horsepower/torque figures... Either way they don't have any intention of using the 5.0's shaft on the V6 from what I understand. So anyone looking to remove the limiter on the v6 and take the car past up to the 130 range is going to need an aftermarket propeller shaft (like something from shaft masters) first.
