Can they make Mustang smaller. 188.3 inches is a bit too long for modern sports cars. I understand you need a wider frontend for accomodating larger V8. But I guess you can package it more efficiently and use space better. BMW M4 is 182 inches. 370Z is 167. FRS 167 WRX is 170. 2003 Mustang is...

Would EB make lot more noise with the vents. Direct injection clatter is not very pleasant sound. I think DI cars should get more padding underneath the hood. The 3 series N-54 is pretty noisy to me especially with its stop/start system, even the new Honda Fit with DI sounds noisy.

I would put all the 14sec cars 25-30K together. Focus ST, Mustang V6, GTI, WRX. WRX is the fastest of the bunch. New EB should be faster than the above. Now the 30-37K cars doing 1/4 mile in low 13 secs, Golf R, WRX STI, Focus RS 40K+ Audi S3 - some have it bettering STI times. Golf R 400 -...

Nice is that 150-200 for a set or for a single wheel. I hope it is like powder coating. If it is a set it is not bad. Single wheel is too expensive. Also I think it is not easy to sell OEM wheels for any decent money. Unless people want the Ford wheels for their S197 or folks with Base...

Car and Driver numbers: 2013 V6 Mustang - 5.4 secs to 60 and 1/4 mile 14 secs @104mph 2015 GTI - 5.6 secs to 60 and 1/4 mile 14.2 secs @100mph 2013 Focus ST - 5.7 secs to 60 and 1/4 mile 14.4 secs @99mph...

That means even Base V6 windsheild should get it. Is there a difference in Side Glass windows between EB/GT or Premium/Base. Do you think windows also made of Soundscreen. I guess this wouldn't cost much to put it all over as standard. I am assuming Direct Injection is more noisy, so EB...

I like the 19in wheels with 50th appearance package. But I would like a bronze or gun metal finish. Can the wheel be refinished. Not sure if just regular painting or plastidip will last, wouldn't it peel off. Is it worth the effort. Or should I just drop the idea and think about...

For me, I am still thinking should I get premium trim or just do upgrades on base trim. The base upcharge is mostly for speakers and leather seats. Dual zone climate, chrome surrounds, toggles might not have a lot of use other than looks. If I am ripping out the entire system there might not...

Thanks for sharing your plan. Since you are getting premium GT, it does come with 9 speaker setup including center channel. Do you plan to use that channel or just go with traditional, front components + rear coax + sub setup. Image Dynamics, Morel, Gladen, etc are some other speakers...

The base radio looks like a double din setup. How about if we get a Aftermarket receiver with navigation, like those Alpine 9" screens or Kenwood w/Garmin Nav units in the base model. Some HU do have capability for rear camera integration, Bluetooth, app support like Pandora, HD Radio, etc...

Yes, you got it. Wonderful. Saved me lot of time trying to search for it. This was the video. I got confused as I was trying to see a lot of them. Great info on SoundScreen. I love a nice quiet cabin and this definitely helps. Sad part is I was trying to find ways to justify not getting...

That's good to hear, especially coming from someone who has 135i in his profile. I am more excited to see what the aftermarket can do with this engine. Eagerly waiting for official test reviews.

2015 V6 seems to be a good value while V8 is absurdly expensive in relative comparison. That said V8 has got very good resale value. I see CL listings for 25-30K for 2 year old cars when new S197s are going for under 30K. EB is bit more expensive, but it is a modern direct injected aluminum...

I need to find the video again for the window glass difference. Will search and post it. It was posted here in this forum, around 10 minute video with a Magnetic color if I remember properly. Anyway meanwhile I went through this video below. http://www.youtube.com/user/TownCountry1999/videos...

I saw in a YouTube S550 EB review that Premium trim has better window glass (like double pane) and thus provides a quieter interior. Can anyone confirm if this is true for both GT and EB. Are there more differences between Base vs Premium than what is shown in the brochures. Will there be...

I have never been to track, so this would be my DD. Live close to work so MPGs are not a big concern but higher numbers would be nice. I have bad roads and nothing twisty to enjoy RWD benefits, just boring packed interstates and city streets. Turning radius does concern me the most. I am not...

What do you guys think about 2015 GTI vs Ecoboost. I was planing to get 2015 GTI until I saw Mustang 6G. I am in dilemma now. Though I can wait till end of year. GTI though it has 210-220bhp, it is vastly underrated like other German cars. It easily beats Focus ST in power/handling and has...
