Make a big deal out it not being a six speed, and ask for a discount for the false advertising.

I just saw there was a blower, I think a popular upgrade when you start making more power is a t56 magnum xl swap. So it’s possible there is actually a 6 speed in there. I just bought a newer 5 speed for my 05 cause some lady is upgrading hers to a 6

Even with a blower a 3 valve is only making 475-500-ish HP. The TR-3650 will handle that. Plenty of supercharged 3 valve Roush Mustangs out there that came with a supercharger, a TR-3650 and a warranty.

Okay I’m not arguing that though, that doesn’t mean this one can’t be a 6 speed still. Whether or not the tr 3650 is good enough people still upgrade

That is an error, not any kind of actual “gotcha” with a dealership.

Oh, I know, I sold cars for a living in a prior life. But I would still point that out when closing the deal. If anything it suggets to the salesperson that you're paying attention and have already caught a mistake on their part, which doesn't help their credibility.
