That sounds good. I like it.
I also got the feel, just from his tone, that we may get more than 310 HP. Just the way he was saying in a confident and factual way that it would slot between a V6 and GT. We can only hope :)
I believe the exhaust ports on the 15 may be bigger but not sure. If so, the headers won't interchange, however, there are always custom made headers:headbang:
I had the same thought.
It gets down to the wire and Ford realizes that it's going to gain a 100lbs.
Have Steeda put out a 300lbs weight gain rumor to change expectations then announce,,,,
"WOW, it's only gaining 100 lbs..."
Everyone is relieved and pleased.
Just like the oil companies have...
Didn't Ford say the GT will beat the Boss? The Boss was 444 HP so if the car gains 300 lbs it will have to make an additional 30 HP to equal the power to weight ratio of the Boss which is equal to about 475 HP.
I can certainly see it gaining weight but it's difficult for me to see how it will...
I like the black wheels but I think they should offer the bright aluminum anniversary package wheels in a wider size as an option. I think bright or polished rims look better on a black car and some darker cars.
I think the design of black EB PP wheels are OK but not super great by any...
I ran 13.6 bone stock in my manual 03 Mach1 which had 320HP.
I'm not sure about the weight of the Mach1 but it shouldn't have been lighter than the EB will be.
Add to the fact that the EB has other advantages.:
Broader torque curve
Automatic trans that will probably shift faster
It should go...
Wow, I just saw a picture of a black mustang with the 50 year AP. I loved the bright wheels on the black car!
Question, can I get the EB with PP and the 50 year AP?
I don't know where you get that I'm "totally focused on weight" lol....
I relaxed electric seats in my Mach1 and saved nearly 100lbs which equates to about a 10th in the quarter. I am not crazy about the looks of the Recaros but if they were light weight and saved that kind of weight, it...
Exactly what I think.
The stick axle handles way better than the average driver will need, so the only real advantage to the AVERAGE driver will be ride quality and bragging rights.
So I want the Premium Ecoboost with PP.
Can I get manual Recaro seats with that?
If so, what is the weight difference between manual Recaros and the heated/cooled electric seats?
Norm, would you agree that how an IRS handles on the track depends on how it's set up?
Would you agree that every IRS doesn't outperform every straight axle?
I don't pretend to be an expert on track cars, but I have seen many straight axle cars outperform IRS cars at racing events. Now, with...
Yeah, 12.3 on the strip is about the same as a Boss and way slower than a GT500
I suppose all around the Z28 ties the Boss on the strip and beats it on the track, but gets smoked by the GT500 on the strip and ties on the track.
So I guess you aren't really getting much for 80K....
Yes, I think it's entirely possible. My 03 Mach1 with 320 HP got a best of 13.6. The EB could be lighter, could have a wider torque range, and lower gears and quicker shifting. I hope it goes lower but I would be happy with 13.6.
I'm not from that generation, but I agree 100%
It will be a really fun car with performance when you want it and economy the rest of the time.
Will it be the fastest car on the road? No. But at my age, you realize that speed is just a matter of money. Spend a little more get a GT, spend a...
