jesus u beat up an ecoboost for 2 months for 1000 bucks. that's a bargain. think of it that way. don't think of it as a "loss", but think of it as experience gained. at least now you don't have to live with regret and can sleep like a baby at night. that alone is priceless.

I hope he does sleep like a baby. But that extra 7k outside of his budget...ouch. If I did that the car would be my crib and the wife would make me sleep in that car. Haha... I kid... mostly.

Hey I almost did the same thing this last weekend. Would have traded a guard 6speed manual ecoboost for a ruby red premium performance package 6 speed gt but I went and bought a new Harley Davidson instead.

Who care what he lost or gained? His deal is his business.

All we know is he came to the faster, better sounding side :lol: :headbang:

Sometimes I think Ford makes non-V8 Mustangs primarily to sucker in the cheapskates like me... and then make them really want the V8 anyway. It's insidious.

This, though I see a guard GT on my way home some mornings. Most non-rentals I see are V6's, I don't even see too many Ecos though someone at my workplace has one now, I am not the only S550 now :)

LMAO... never again will you lament the absence of a GT! You have grabbed life by the throat now and all the bickering in the forums will forever make you wonder why more have not just sidestepped the situation and added a real thunder machine. Ride safe!

My Mustang is my bad weather transporter!

There is a nice Guard EB vert on the Guard side of the base where I work.It looks good as a convertible. I am slowly seeing more and more S550 where I live.

Not just Ford...

I had a 5.7 RT Challenger for 5 months. I was going to mod it. I wanted a 392. Finally I couldn't stand it anymore and traded up ($3K hit). Best decision I made. Why stay in a car you are not happy with? Dodge makes a killing on guys trading V6 and 5.7's for 6.4's. I predict many Eco drivers will mod the hell out of the car, get bored...trade up...and start modding the 5.0. Luckily I had not spent any money on 5.7 mods before trading up. Now I'm thinking about trading up for a Hellcat.

speaking of convertibles, i thought that the 15s had a plastic back window, because the rental i saw going at highway speeds had their back window pulsating with the wind. it looked like it was plastic. but i looked on the website and they say the window is glass?
