Just mentioning it since you didn't, don't forget to look at cost of ownership differences on top of just the up price difference. that was a large part of my financial decision as the cost of ownership difference (for me) essentially doubled down on whatever the increased car payment would have been.
I drove a rental Mustang with the 4 cylinder. It felt like it had no soul.
The EB requires premium gas 93 octane to get full.power. I am going to bet that rented EB's have shitty regular 87 octane.
Except for that "soulless" EBs nowadays out accelerates, brakes, and handles far better than a '65 with 289 I used to have. We're not talking about V12 Ferraris here, but rather mass-produced cars with body panel gaps and rattles. So stop giving the Camaro guys ammo by sounding like a pseudo-sophisticated douchebag.
Ahhhh gotcha. For the record, most turbo 4's make next to no power below 3.5k either.
The surprising part is the recent 4 turbo put out great torque from 2000 to 4000 rpm's now a days. Very little turbo lag like the early years. With a tune the low end pull is incredible on vw audi Subaru and even the ecoboost. It seems like times have changed. When I was younger v8's had great low end but fell off up top. 4cyl you had to rev the crap out of them. Now the 4cyl's need to short shift and v8 need to rev to the moon. I so miss the low end short shifting grunt of the older v8's.Ahhhh gotcha. For the record, most turbo 4's make next to no power below 3.5k either.
