Option for V6 Mustang

You can modify the car with aftermarket parts for dual exhaust,
probably for a lot less than Ford would charge for it as an option.

People get over the idea that they have to be louder and more powerful
than the next person. Americans are idiots. I say that as born and
bred and ancestors going back to the Revolutionary War. People are so
spoiled here. In England they pay twice as much for gas and oil as we
do here. Here we live in the land of consumption, and screw the rest
of the world. When will we wake up? I've been laughing at the
American car companies since I was a kid. I realized then that we
make crap, and other countries make decent cars. And the chickens are
coming home to roost now. What do we do? We pass enact ethanol
legislation to supplement a vanishing resource. Nice. What will we
do when there is no more oil to make gas to mix with ethanol?
Rugh-Row George. Why not put our resources into developing new
technologies instead of propping up the old? The other countries are
eating our lunch. They make their cars here, they make their
batteries here, they sell their cars here. Yeah, we're screwed. So
working class people resort to complaining about outsourcing. That
isn't the real problem. The problem is in Washington, the leadership
of the companies, and what Americans are willing or eager to consume.

What are you going to do in 20 years, Phil, when you are driving an
electric car because all the oil is gone? Are you going to hook up a
sound system to a speaker where the exhaust would be, and play loud
gas engine sounds to remind you of the "good old days"?

You could always go to West Coast Customs (the place they take the
cars on MTV's Pimp My Ride)...they'll even put a fireplace in your
car.

I agree.

Have you seen the cars (I don't remember the make/model) that have
FAKE dual exhaust systems? Posers are all around us, I suppose.

in a business sense, sure. they might sell more cars, or at least
more car...options.

from a car enthusiast's position (for which i cannot really speak i
guess, i drive a '98 cavalier covered in bumper stickers), it's
dishonest and kind of tacky, like a knockoff handbag or something.

still, it's a nice letter. good on you for being polite.

I am completely against them offering this option. The dual exhaust
is one of the distinguishing features of the GT!
