The main thing is that the base-motor Mustang (4,6, whatever) has been by
far the largest seller (something like 2-1, IIRC) at least through the
Fox-body years, if not longer.

The V6 only came in the Mustang again starting in 94.  Before that, from
84(?) to 93 it was the extremely underpowered 4cyl.
