They should be hitting dealerships in the next week or two.
I need to try and get down to Flat Rock sooner than later to see it on the line. |

Very interesting post by Ford Racing facebook page. Shows an EcoBoost mustang at a drag strip with slicks and the front wheels off the ground. Says they cannot wait to show off what they have for the EB Mustang. I am very interested. If they can up the power to around 350+hp and still retain the warranty I may go for the EB Mustang. I still need to test drive though.

A few people have reported with Ford Racing upgrades that usually retain your warranty and on the stock turbo the EB Mustang ran a 12.5 1/4mi |

yeah but that's on a wrong wheel drive car with relatively low output... 250hp on the Focus ST right? There's plenty of room for improvement there. no guarantee Ford Racing parts for a mustang will have that kind of benefit.

What are the possibilities of the new 5.0 running a high 10 with full exhaust, drag radials, and nitrous? The older motors seemed to hold up fairly well to being bottle fed.

Nice, but it would be even faster going, stopping, and turning if it weighed less. Hoping a mid-cycle refresh brings the oft-rumored GDI version of the 5.0L V8 and maybe aluminum doors and roof skin if the aluminum-intensive F-150 passes the real-world-of-idiots durability test in the hands of consumers.

That should be right at a high 10 with traction. BOSS 302 stock with radials or slicks was a high 11 car. |

You must have missed my post above. They are doing upgrades to the EB Mustang and just 3.73 gearing, drag radials, downpipe, FRPP (Ford racing Performance Pack tune, and lightweight wheels. 12.5 1/4 time

A friend of mine is test driving a 15 GT all weekend. He had already posted how much better the steering is. I'll post details if he sends them to me.

Pretty sure the mustang has had EPS since 2011.

Not sure if I care for the sound of the Ecoboost. It sounds like a late 90s, riced out Civic. Otherwise, nothing too groundbreaking here, the 5.0s are about as fast as the S197s were with the same mods. I do think it's fairly awesome that Ford is already producing parts for it before it even hits the dealers. |

Anyone else notice how horrible the C/D observed fuel economy is for the Ecoboost? C/D observed 19mpg combined which is only 2mpg better than the GT. I am guessing the only way you will ever hit the EPA numbers is if you are downhill in a tornado, or hypermile.
I have read lots of similar complaints regarding EPA and other Ford Ecoboost models. I am guessing we will see some lawsuits coming similar to what happened to Hyundai (Hyundai had to admit their testing was faulty, had to reduce their EPA numbers across many of their cars, and also had to pay their customers). |

Their observed MPG in the automatic ecoboost is identical to what the 2015 CVT WRX delivered. Do you think we'll see lawsuits brought against Subaru, too? |

Also, go back and read long term tests and look at fuelly for other Ecoboost models like the Focus ST. I was seriously considering a Focus ST and the general theme was you were not going to hit the EPA numbers unless you drove like a granny, and even then it was difficult. Ford was already sued for EPA numbers for their Hybrid cars not hitting their EPA numbers and reports like this one are not helping their cause for Ecoboost: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/n...aims/index.htm |
