  1. Engine Debate

    When I drove a V6 Mustang rental for the past week, I don't think I got BELOW 3000 RPM for more than a few minutes total, lol. I don't see how that engine could be any fun at all driven that way. Why even get a performance car period?! Just get a hatchback or something.
  2. Engine Debate

    The EcoBoost is going to be a workhorse, I don't see reliability being a major issue with them at all, Ford has proven these engines (as has every other maker out there pretty much). Take into consideration as well that they've undoubtedly included a factor of safety knowing that people will...
  3. Engine Debate

    If you're never going to drive it over 4000 rpm, then you should DEFINITELY get the EcoBoost. The V8 probably only makes 200 hp at 4000 rpm, if that. I'm sorry but if longevity is your primary goal, you are getting the wrong car.
  4. Engine Debate

    I really want to have a Mustang with 750000 miles on the odometer. Half of those on the track too.
  5. Engine Debate

    Three quarters of a million miles, lmao. It's a performance car, not a semi truck. Oh and most semi trucks are probably forced induction. Turbo engines are way more reliable than they used to be.
  6. Engine Debate

    Anyone who is familiar with 4 cylinder turbo tuner cars will realize that the EcoBoost Mustang is going to be capable of outperforming the naturally aspirated V8 with some modifications. Maybe not in terms of top speed or the quarter mile, but definitely in terms of track performance and low-end...
  7. Engine Debate

    Honestly I don't think too many people are going to actively, to your face, give you sh1t about driving a V6 Mustang. It's still probably a better car than whatever they are driving. I just drove one for a week (rental) and it was freakin sweet, I'd love to have one. If you're that concerned...
  8. Roush Performance CarPorn - Wow

    That side scoop just looks so tacked-on, I'm sorry. Not a fan of the twisty side skirts either. I dig the spoilers, and to some extent the hood scoops. The grilles are nice to. Good looking mods all around, just not for me I don't think (not all of them anyway). Just noticed that the whole...
  9. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Is Grumpy Cat flipping the bird to that dog in the other car?

  11. Are these regrets?

    You should watch this video if you have concerns about the handling of the Hellcat: . It may be less nimble than the GT, but it's definitely not a bad handling car, despite the power.
  12. 2015 Owners-Biggest Surprises/Disappointments so far

    Be sure you play around with the settings and the source before you write it off. People have different ears obviously, but I found the 6-speaker system to be surprisingly good; not stellar, but certainly good enough for me.
  13. Base model owners - what do you think?

    First off I would say that you need to physically sit in the Recaros (leather or cloth, doesn't matter) before you order them. I sat in them in a showroom recently, and even as a relatively narrow guy, I could tell immediately that they would be way too tight for me in a daily driver. To each...
  14. "GT's" Magnetic PP GT Surprise Delivery!!!

    If you get arrested and convicted for drunk driving, it should be mandatory jail time on the first conviction, with exponential increases after the first conviction. We have gotten numb to it in this country and somehow view it as 'not that big a deal', but it is absolutely absurd that we take...

    It was like $380 through Enterprise.
  16. Rented a V6 for the week - my impressions...

    Also I will add that the placement of the paddle shifters was a little troublesome to me. They are well placed for when you are using them certainly, but when you don't want to be using them I found them to be in the way. It was difficult if not impossible for me to grip the steering wheel...
  17. Rented a V6 for the week - my impressions...

    I would've rented the nicest car they had and paid extra for it - another $100 for the week to drive a premium GT? Sure! :) It's more of an extended test drive for me. Honestly I would love to find an EB premium and rent it for the week. And I think the 17" wheels on the base V6 are just too...
  18. Base model owners - what do you think?

    I have to believe there are several thousand dollars worth of features on the Mustang at that price that are not on the M235i, but I could be proven wrong! I am looking at BMW's website right now and the BASE retail price of the M235 is $43,100. That is what you would pay for a Mustang with...
  19. Rented a V6 for the week - my impressions...

    I rented a V6 Mustang for Thanksgiving holiday week, and did a good bit of back roads driving around beautiful Bluegrass country in central KY. I did my best to put it through its paces without getting in trouble. ;) It was black with the V6 upgrade package which gave it fog lights and the...
  20. Base model owners - what do you think?

    You would get the 228i if you wanted bells and whistles? I think you would probably be well over $40K if you optioned a 228i with everything that's on a Premium Mustang, and that's if you can even get everything that's available (or standard) on the Mustang. I just finished reading an...
