2018 Mustang Preview Info Sheet

not sure if this has been posted before, 2018 Mustang preview information

We have any idea of how the brightness might change on the headlights vs. 2017?

I had LED headlamps in my WRX limited and loved them. Some of the cleanest, straight lined light.

Will these integrated fogs hinder the ability to do an amber conversion? (Image op Warhead here on the forums)

Really really like this look.

So the Ecoboost 4 gets an increase in torque and HP.

Hopefully they stole the engine out of the RS

We are still waiting on the hp and tq numbers.

I wonder if the EB will give 350/350 HP/TQ. If yes, I might consider the EB. And depending on the price difference with GT.

Don't do it man. VROOM VROOOOM is better than ning ning brap brap brap.

Probably going to get more torque than HP from the 4 banger. RS has a beefier turbo and intercooler, sleeved reinforced block, and better engine head and I doubt they would add that to the Eco without blowing the price out of the water. Realistically maybe 30 lb-ft torque and little if any more HP.

LoL, the RS engine is crap. Lots of issues. You should check out the forums.

The Ecoboost will get 335hp/350tq.... to compete with the Camaro. This is unfortunately on 93 octane whereas all the other domestics rate their power on 91 fuel. Ford rates it on 93, to make folks think they're getting more. The new V8 will make 440-445 hp on 91... 450-455 on 93-95 fuel. Plus the mustang gets 40-60 lbs heavier with more standard content. So don't expect it to be any quicker in acceleration. And, with added port injection with DI, is just asking for trouble. Two fueling systems equal double the problems and a tuning nightmare.

And lastly folks, I see far to many of you, just jump in your mustang first thing in the morning when it's cold and drive off in a few seconds, then complain about difficulty getting into gear and shifting issues in both stick and auto. Let the oil and trans temps come up for 5-6 minutes minimum. Or at least three needle widths off of cold and do not rev over 2500 rpm until 50% warm. This is why people have had issues. I've experimented with it. Let it warm up.

I just noticed the Eco 4 also will get launch control and line lock ! Also, hood vents. Let the good times roll !

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the EcoBoost is only getting a torque increase, no more horsepower. Some marketing material said "improved torque" and that was it. Could be wrong though.
