In the video, she also talked about wheel hop and staying in the throttle. That combination will yield bad results.

2018 Ecoboost Premium PP A10 93 octane - 5.6 seconds - temperature was about 80 degrees. The launch wasn’t good because the road surface was kind of poor. I haven’t tried since.

Steph (American Muscle) is running the Hellion setup and had bad wheel hop when she destroyed the drive shaft.

I have a 2018 Ecoboost Premium PP A10 with enough options to push the sticker price into the upper $30’s. Could I have gotten a GT? Sure. Other than the sound of the exhaust, I saw no upside to getting a GT. I love my car. After 20,000 miles, I can honestly say I’d make the same decision...

Ford actually has two fwd A8’s. One is a modified version of the A9. The other is a modified version of the 6F55 that they have used a for a few years now. It’s used in the higher horsepower models.

Not exactly. Ford took the lead on development of the A10. I’d say it is mostly Ford. GM took the lead on the 9 spd fwd auto. I’d say that’s mostly GM.

I looked and can’t find the article now. Sorry.

I thought one of the Ford reps said it would have more torque than the 6.8 V10. Isn’t its torque rating at 457?

At the time, it was believed that controlling emissions became much more difficult with larger bores. I don’t remember the sweet spot, but it was somewhere around 3.7 inches. This also played a part in the design of the mod motors. Of course, technology advances and that limit was overcome...

I don’t disagree. I don’t know enough about Ford’s plans to figure out why they spent so much money designing this engine.

That wasn’t my primary point. I may not have made my point clear. A prior post said the 7.3 would be much cheaper to build. I don’t think that is the case. The cheapest route would have been to revise the 6.2. Ford chose to go with a clean sheet design. That being the case, they chose a...

2 camshafts, more complex timing chain - that’s pretty much it, right? The camshafts individually should be cheaper (slightly more expensive for 2) and you don’t have pushrods. I’m not sure there is much difference in the cost to build. Now figure how much R&D went into the new engine. Seems...

I put my road bike in the back of my Mustang all the time. Just have to remove the front wheel.

My 2018 Ecoboost Premium PP A10 is my daily driver. For my purposes, it’s a better value than the GT would have been. As others have posted, it really is a personal preference issue. I love the GT, but honestly would not have enjoyed it any more than the Ecoboost. I don’t want/need the...

Love my Orange Fury and would get it again.

My last Mustang was a 2005 GT. It had the 4.6 3V with 300 HP. I loved that car and it was a blast to drive. My current car is a 2018 Ecoboost PP and love it. It is actually more fun to drive. It has a much better suspension. Like you, I recognize that you have to have a ton of power to have...

Mine also has the digital cluster. I’ve got over 13,000 miles on it now. I’ve been pleased with the transmission, and everything else. Mine does get a little “bumpy” on the downshifts when stopping when it’s cold. Doesn’t do it all the time and it’s really not an issue. But it is noticeable.

@Rc18, I’m in Macon. I assume you’re also in Georgia?

Congrats! You’re going to love the Ecoboost PP A10 combination.

I just hit 3000 miles on my Ecoboost PP A10. So far, I love it. Sport + mode really makes it a fun car to drive.
