I searched but didn't see this linked anywhere. This is the first instrumented test I've seen of an '18 Ecoboost A10.
http://www.motortrend.com/cars/ford...rd-mustang-ecoboost-first-test-chip-shoulder/
0-60 MPH 5.3 sec
QUARTER MILE 13.9 sec @ 97.2 mph
BRAKING, 60-0 MPH 106 ft
LATERAL ACCELERATION 0.96 g (avg)
MT FIGURE EIGHT 25.1 sec @ 0.75 g (avg)
The numbers are better than the declining figures they've gotten from recent Ecoboost Mustangs, but they failed to make the sub five second 0-60 that Ford claimed at the same time that they were citing sub 4 second for the GT.
They noted that the car didn't seem happy in their figure 8 test - the A10 behaved strangely and LSD didn't seem to work properly. “Feels like a good eight-tenths car, but ask ten-tenths and it won’t like it.”
They've also posted a comparison of this highly optioned EB model to its obvious rival, the Cadillac ATS Coupe 2.0T. The Mustang actually does very well in comparison, "With two equally priced cars, the decision then comes down to which we’d rather drive. With better performance, a better driving experience, far more features, a nicer cabin, and a cheaper cost of ownership, the answer is inescapably Mustang."
