The Ecoboost is great, the V6 is great, the Coyote is greater, and the Voodoo is greatest. Ford has done a good job of stratifying their engines in this car.
The Boss will hold its value better - would be a better investment for a weekend car. For a daily, the S550 would be superior. The Boss will be the better car around all but the bumpiest of race tracks.
I was one of the forum trolls who said that if Ford would ever release another IRS mustang with 400+ HP I would be a buyer. It was time to put my money where my mouth was and I'm glad that I did.
Counterpoint: I did the opposite, went from a 2003 Mustang Gt to a 2015 Honda Fit. I loved the feeling of having only 2600 lbs under me, but I soooo missed the power, and missed the feeling of sitting behind an aircraft-carrier's worth of flat steel housing a big V8, so I took the loss and went...
Thanks for the write-up, it's fascinating to hear how different the perspective is from a place where the Mustang is an "exotic" car. I suppose it would be like someone buying an R34 Nissan here. I'm incredibly jealous that you have Tuscan roads to enjoy your ecoboost on. There the weight...
I highly recommend the SAVVY module that plugs into the OBDII port and automatically mutes the detector under a speed of your choosing as well as providing keyed-hot power to the unit.

Some degree of tint is legal in most states, I don't know of any state in which visually obstructing the licence plate is legal. Feel free to do it, but you are giving law enforcement a reason to have a nice friendly talk with you. :)
So I did a bit of searching to see what the motoring press had to say about the 2015 Mustang shifter. These are people who get to drive hundreds of cars so their basis for comparison is very strong. Only Motortrend noted any vagueness about the shiftgates, so there might be some manufacturing...
Were you running AC? I have noticed that unlike many modern cars the mustang does not cut off the AC compressor under full throttle. Don't know why, but that definitely will make it feel sluggish.
I have no interest in adding weight and turbulence to the exhaust setup. If it can't defeat resonance in it's innate design, it is not a well designed exhaust system, period. Expecially considering that these cars do not drone with straight pipes, there's really no excuse for drone with a...
I so feel your pain man. I make youtube videos about my experience with my 2015 mustang religiously and I couldn't even keep it on long enough to make a video about it. The very next morning I was at Midas getting the stock mufflers welded back on.
Easily one of the worst part purchases of...
I did this same setup. Only had it in for one day. The drone was terrible. The worst I have experienced. Painful, bone-shaking drone at 1,800 RPM. Louder at idle than redline. Will never buy another flowmaster part as long as I live. I can't believe they tested this setup before releasing it.
