  1. Potential Unsprung/Rotational weight reduction

    I have the base 17 x 7.5" wheels, the ecoboost is about 80 lbs lighter than the PP eco even according to Fords figures. Mine weighed 3,482 with 1/2 tank of gas on certified scale. p
  2. Weighed ecoboost today

    automatic Hi, The automatic is 5 lbs less than the manual trans. I also have the aluminum spare tire and jack option. p
  3. Weighed ecoboost today

    Hi, Weighed my ecoboost automatic with 1/2 tank of gas today on government scale. 3,482 lbs ! No wonder this feels fast:D Perry
  4. First Road Trip..Impressions

    gas Hi, Are you using regular gas or 91 premium? thanks.
  5. Auto Trans and no PP

    Faster Hi, They don't want the mustang with paddle shifters to be faster than the stick car so they don't offer it. :doh:
  6. Woodbine Motosports Ecoboost runs 13.8@103

    good run Hi, that's great getting into 13's 1st time out. Was the other eco auto stock with 3.15 gears or the PP with the 3.55 gears? The gears should make 3 tenths second faster. Perry.
  7. Seen the 2015 for the First time, and asked some nice questions

    premium gas Yes premium gas gets better mileage because there is no alcohol blend in it, regular gas has 10%. You need to burn a lot more alcohol to get the same power / BTU's out of an engine. :tsk:
  8. Seen the 2015 for the First time, and asked some nice questions

    More than 310 HP Hi, The 310 HP rating is low, also that is with regular 87 gas. The ECU will keep advancing the timing until it hears knocking to get the best MPG so if you run 91 premium gas it should pick up 10 or 12 HP. Combine that with the extra 10 HP they left out and you now have 330...
  9. Mustang GT Vs Challenger 392 - My Comparison

    too big The car is huge, it weighs over 400 lbs more than last years mustang. You would need 50 HP just to keep at par. Not to mention the poor handling. I would say the new eco turbo 4 mustang that will be 600 lbs less will kill it on the street. ;)
  10. Who would buy a basic $50,000 Gt ?

    Canadian Hi, I want a new 2015 not an old car, I had a 2011. In Canada we get ripped off at the dealers, you can not get a basic mustang they only come with the premium package and up,so it is alot more money. And yes you have to include taxes, that is the the drive away price. Throw in...
  11. Who would buy a basic $50,000 Gt ?

    Hi, I priced out a 2014 Gt with automatic,backup camera,401 a package. It comes in at just under 49 grand with taxes. There are incentives now but there will not be any for the new 2015's. They have priced me out of a mustang:( :shocked:
  12. No room under the hood...

    Rear end gears Hi, I think you would be more concerned with the larger rear ring gear, more guys do stiffer gears than intakes, no longer an 8.8 diff, so that means no easy or cheap gear changes, IRS is labor intensive also.. You'll be running the same gear for a year or 2 until the aftermarket...
  13. did they release MPG figures too?

    old 5 oh Hi, I had 3 5 liter mustangs, they all had different cams in them, the 87 had the best cam, the 92 had 7 degrees less duration and was downgraded in HP, that was real. I suspect that the V6 was downgraded in the ECU to give more MPG. I had a 2011 V6 and it was slow until 3,000 rpm...
  14. Wait until Ford gets the 'bugs' worked out before buying?

    Nav I'm talking the nav in the corvette as an example of new suppliers with untested equipment. I'm sure the new platform is good however everything that bolts to it has not been tested in real world yet. Perry.
  15. Wait until Ford gets the 'bugs' worked out before buying?

    Take a look at the C7 Hi, The new mustang is NEW. it is not on the same platform so there could be problems. Look at the new C7 corvette, I have. The rear lower arm shock mount fell off one car and recalled a lot of them. The mustang will have all new rear suspension. The nav doesn't work as...
  16. Caring for the Leather Steering Wheel

    service warning Hi, Happened to another car I had- when you take It in for service, even an oil change, make sure the guy doing it does not wear a belt buckle. If he does then he will scrape the leather as he slides in and leave a 1 or 2" sideways mark on the lower portion of the wheel. Now...
  17. Engine Pics of each model (GT, V6, EcoBoost)

    Notice the brace Hi, See the black shock tower brace to the center firewall. Looks like the turbo 4 will out handle the rest:) Will also be 150 lbs lighter than the V8. Perry.
  18. Limited Edition<->Not Limited Enough

    Not collectable Hi, No need to worry about any car being collectable in 40+ years. All the baby boomers who are jacking up musclecar prices will be dead and gone, the new generation doesn't want them and by then probably won't even have drivers licenses, just electronic gizmos. All the million...
  19. Paddle shifters

    works good. Hi, Paddle shifters are for road racing, holding a gear around a corner or engine braking slowing down or going down a hill, they are not for drag racing, the trans shifts better by itself for that. Perry.
  20. Mod Proposal: Twinscrolling the GT

    More low end power hi, Ford has added variable intake vanes in the intake tract, this will make the low rpm feel a lot better, I don't think you could improve on it unless you spend 6 grand for a blower and then where are you going to use that much power? The cops around here will impound your...
