EcoBoost vs. Pre-Coyote GT?

[04SloSnake]

I'm a popcorn eater! The eco is a fast car and with a tune alone can beat a lot of cars and with more bolt ons and such will beat a 5.0, but there are a few people on here who I will not name that hate anything with more than 4 or 6 cylinders and bash the GT all day, everyone with a V8 either has ego issues or a small rod.

Sorry about your dick Bro.

Don't know why they'd buy a Mustang in the first place, then. I disagreed with some folks here about the where the EB stood, I would *never* suggest that the 5.0 sucks. Anybody who says that clearly has mental problems.

Yes slo I wish I was a bit bigger, though I would need a GT350 to feel better but I don't have that kind of paper :(

There's always a bigger fish.

Imagine what it is like to own a GT500.

Dunno about any of that. But here's a song for the penis jokes (I make the Washington Monument look like a lawn gnome!):

Yeah, f*ck this motor. I'm trading it in when I have the money (though I was probably going to do that anyway). Unless someone has a way to get it into sub-4.5 0-60 and sub 12.5 1/4 mile for less than $1000, anyway.

Look at that. Altima. Maxima. Camry. Regular Lancer. Accord. Mazda 3. A f*cking Hyundai. Hard to call this a performance car when that's your competition. I've half a mind to flash it back to stock, run it on 87, and drive it like an economy car to save money until I can dump it.

If you look at that list and actually care you are in over your head. Here is a fun new game, count all of those cars that are in in the 12's (hell we'll go unlimited mods) and watch it shrink away.

Subaru WRX, VW GTI, Nissan 370Z, BMW 428, Audi A6, Infiniti G37, Dodge Challenger R/T, Acura TLX, Infiniti Q50 and Lexus GS probably all have.

Then again, those are respectable cars, too.

I bought the ecoboost because of the mpg, lower price, and turbo. Love the sound of a turbo. If you wanted a race car you should have bought the gt. Maybe even an older used one.

Those reasons were the same as mine. Maybe I'm overreacting a bit and I should just put a little more elbow grease into this car.

But those family cars creeping up on it really surprised me. I didn't need (or want) the fastest car -- just something that was a good bit faster than your average sh*tbox and/or family hauler. Bargain sports car, basically. I *THOUGHT* that's what I had. Then I saw that a f*cking Camry is damn near as fast -- never even thought to check that.

 

[04SloSnake]

Another game, how many of those cars on the list have YOU lost to?

lol. I was thinking the same thing. Pretty sure either of his cars get smoked by an ecoboost stang too.

Lost to a 370Z, but it was a NISMO.
Beat a Challenger R/T (but this was after the Unleashed Tune).
Beat a WRX (no idea if manual or not) stock. Not sure what year.
Lost to a G37, when stock.

That's it.

Edit: Those were all fine, too. About what I expected from the car... competitive, decent, but not the fastest thing around. Haven't had any Camrys or Accords lining up to hoon at a stoplight, though, so can't tell if they are faster or not for certain.

I wouldn't call that Camry an average family hauler considering it's price is low 30s. If you bought a base ecoboost you're faster with a more mod friendly motor while being cheaper. Not sure how you can complain about that.
