Bull. its all about treatment- you treat it like shit, its going to break. and it takes abuse, since youll spin before it breaks.
the 7.5 used in the 05-10 is the same one used in the 79-04's, Bronco II's, and Rangers. They dont blow at 30k- if they did, I would have replaced mine twice. and god knows how many times for the guy that has 600,000 miles (Yes, SIX HUNDRED thousand) on his. original rear.
sense.
This post is lacking it.
anyway, OP-
The only problems Ive heard of for those years are the foglights blowing seals and allowing moisture in, a leak in the passenger footwell that shorts the ECU for some cars(I know this was for 05-06, Im not sure when they fixed it)

The "get a V8" replies are not helping, guys. Just don't respond if that's all you have to say.
I love MUSTANGS. Not just V6's, not just GT's, not just the tuner models, all of them. And without V6 sales, the others wouldn't exist in the first place.
I want the 6 because it's cheaper to insure and I'm figuring it has good low-end being that it's a truck motor. I've never liked having to rev a motor to the moon to keep up with traffic.
I'm not 23 and living at home like I was when I had the '97. My priorities in life have changed, and as much as I'd like an 8, I don't presently have that luxury. So please, respectfully, respond only if you're offering advice on what to look for in S197 V6's.
Also- how do the Pony Package cars handle vs. non-PP cars?

The PP cars handle slightly better than non PP cars due to the fact that they have GT Front and Rear sway bars as the non PP cars do not have those. If you are going to pay like 4 or 500 more for a PP bc of the sway bars IMO its not worth it since you can get them for like 50 or 60 bucks each and upgrade them yourself.
