I wouldnt trust the clowns playing auto mechanics at my local dealer touch my car. If it is too involved that i cant do it myself I will not do it. I could trust a tuner with good reputation and experience working on Mustangs though...

Unless granny shows up at the track driving her brand new 2015 camry and gives your super duper EB a run for its money on the 1/4 mile...

That's easy. Ford could have included a weight reduction option as part of the PP for $2000 more. I would've paid for it...

meh...Any "go fast" bits?

You got me there, I'm not a mechanical engineer but back in the 90's the following cars, at the end of their run in the US, were being criticized for gaining too much weight in order to comply with regulations. 98 Toyota Supra Twinturbo 3445 lbs. 96 Nissan 300ZX Twinturbo 3502 lbs. 98...

That is how I do it. For me is second nature on all my downshifts... I havent driven stick for the last 2 years though, after I traded my 350Z and ended up driving the wife's old car...I'm looking forward to rowing gears again!

Is 200lbs to 300lbs less pork too much to ask? Specially on a new platform built from the ground up? I'm actually pretty happy with the Coyote numbers of 435HP/400ft-lb. I think with 300lbs less it would have gone from slightly less performance than M235i/CLA45 AMG/WRX STI to a better performer...

I'm still mildly disappointed. Although the performance numbers are there (4.4s to 60 and 12.8s in the 1/4 mile) the car is at least 200lbs too heavy. This in turn would've helped the aforementioned numbers. The 1LE and these are my benchmark. Truth to be told 0-60mph time and 1/4 mile ET...

Beats driving snowed and salted roads...

I agree with your $300K number. We working types can relax a little bit once you get to around $250K/year. Less than that and we are just surviving... Having a family and making substantially less than that it is a real struggle for me. To the OP if I were making $60K I would go for the EB or...

Mildly disappointed. I dont think the problem is a lack power but an excess of weight...

Review sounded fluffy...Lets wait for the Stig's "impression" (aka lap time)

End of November/beginning of December for me. I can live with that...My realistic expectation is some time in January though.

I just got a $750 cash discount. . 2013/2014/2015 Vehicles. $500 on Fiesta and Focus. Not available on F-150SVT Raptor, Mustang Shelby GT500, Mustang Boss 302 and Mustang 50 Years LE. (which means it applies to the 2015 regular Mustang). A/Z/D Plan ineligible. (Applies to X-plan) Expires on...

intake/exhaust when the aftermarket develops something that adds measurable power...

The new Lincoln signature grille. To think that some designer thought that was a good looking grille. To be fair it doesnt look half bad in this rendering but the car would be a lot better with a different grille...

Stripes, they make you slower...

If the plastic tank is lighter I'm keeping it...Black wheels on the Performance Package is the only negative comment from the "sammich maker". I'm pretty sure she was "happy" when the vehicle I was driving at the time we met got stolen: Silver STI w/ BBS gold rims...I loved that car!

DO WANT!!! I think the 4 banger turbo will get the respect it deserves once the tuner crowd gets creative. I can see the EB getting into GT performance territory with simple bolt-ons. For me it wasnt a debate though. I never considered the EB because Turbo 4s and 6s is what I've always...

GT, 6 speed w/ PP in Guard. Sounds like my car. I dont understand why people would pay extra to make the car slower...
