Don't think I've seen this up yet?

There’s no denying that the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang is an incredibly advanced and capable performance vehicle. With a choice between three unique engines, two transmissions, countless appearance options, and technology unmatched by the competition, the 2015 Mustang can handle whatever you throw its way. To prove it, we invited three enthusiasts to take a spin in earlier versions of America’s Favorite Pony Car. Then we asked them to go head-to-head against themselves in the 2015 Ford Mustang in an effort to showcase the hottest new features and prove just how advanced the new Mustang really is.
The 2015 Mustang EcoBoost oozes performance and is bound to be a serious competitor on the racetrack thanks to highly-advanced technology and impeccable engineering. Mustang owner and enthusiast Tyler Hinker was granted access to the driver’s seat and asked to put it through the paces.
Tyler first took a spin in a 1970 Boss 302 and noted how inherently raw and powerful the classic was. Then he slipped behind the wheel of the EcoBoost to put both the gas and brake pedals to the medal to gauge acceleration and stopping abilities.
The direct-injected EcoBoost 2.3L engine is turbocharged to the tune of 310 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque – that’s more power than the V8 engine of the Mustang GT put out only 10 short years ago. Twin independent variable cam timing and a twin-scroll turbo reduce lag, while a steel crank and trick 3-port cylinder head contribute to the power output. And it accomplishes this level of power output while retaining an EPA-estimated 21 miles per gallon city, and 31 on the highway.
Handling braking duties are four-wheel power disc brakes with a four-sensor, four-channel anti-lock braking system and AdvanceTrac electronic stability control. A Performance Package is available for those who care to upgrade to larger 14-inch rotors with four-piston calipers.
