Heated seats, Shaker 500 (no navi, but then again I never really cared much for cars that come with Navi. The cost of having to update DVD's every few years and the inability to change my head unit was never appealing to me, in lieu of that I'll just continue using my phone + car dock.), Pedestal spoiler, Leather Bucket seats with accents, 3.73 diff, HID's, Brembo's.

I mean, personally that's all I would ever want on the stang. MAYBE the shaker 1000 which would bring the price up to 40.1 but once you start reaching into the 32k+ range chances are you're financing the vehicle anyway unless your "Stackin' change like a BAWS" so a 5-7k difference (in my subjective opinion) is a drop in the bucket.

It's weird though, depending on what time of year you build a Ford the options change. Some of the packages get lumped together for a lower price, some of them disappear entirely, some things get added and subjectracted from already offered packages. A few months ago I built the same stang for 36 and about a month back it was 39 *shrug*. If I got the GC v6 I'd get the R-spec anyway so it's still a crazy buy at that price.

I see. I just couldn't see myself driving around with 412hp. I agree 100% it's a bang for buck like no other but when it comes to 3300+ lb coupes I love a 280-330hp 3.5l-3.8l 6 cylinder. I have been spoiled by the Nissan VQ35HR. I only would like a V8 if it's a truck or 4500+lb SUV behemoth and I would never buy both.
