frs or ecoboost?

[04SloSnake]

I answered that I would buy neither, which is 100% on topic

So you're just dumb. That answers that.

Yes. Love my ecoboost. I will be upgrading as soon as there is a twin turbo v6 ecoboost available. 6 turbos sound so much better.

That's only IF Ford releases a twin turbo 6 for this car.

I was on the fence between the FRS and the V6.

In the end, to drive the FR-S in the manner that it needs to be massive amounts of fun involves pretty much a track only, to swing out the back end. Car is built for drifting... Can't really drive like that on public roads, especially in America where most roads are straight.

Both are good cars. If I was in Europe I would swing more to the FR-S.. The size of the S550 doesn't work so well on those narrow roads.

I live in Europe and have no problem with the s550. FRS is an even worse choice here. The 200 hp and frankly scary ride on unlimited Autobahns makes it useless. They get pushed around by everything here. I can imagine all the owner's saying "my car handles better" as they get pulled by a Ford s-max diesel minivan.

I saw this earlier

And while it's not my style, wonder why my friend would want a car he would NEED to turbo as his first tuner vs something already turbo'd and infinitely more practical (I would push him to a Ecostang, but I wanna some rivialry between us )

Yes, but you live in Germany. I was born and raised in England in the countryside... The roads are really narrow, same with places like Italy. Peoples cars are half the size in the UK as they are out here in L.A.

The very first thing I noticed when I moved here is just how massive everybody's car is.

What sealed the deal between the two for me was the track guys who had owned the BRZ/FRS for awhile. They wanted more grip, so on went the R-Comps, which then overwhelmed the brakes and suspension, so BBK's and Coilovers. Then the body wasn't stiff enough, and they didn't have enough power, so cages and stiffening and turbo/supercharger kits. And all of a sudden you could have had an m3 or C6 Zo6.

All I've done to my eco is cheap basic bolt ons and track pads.

I hagree with you on that point, Driving my Supra in England was scary.

I think the FRS is good in any county with tight roads and low speed limits, like Japan or England

In the UK the GT86 is about 10k£ cheaper than the EB. I still prefer the Mustang.

Looks not bad but it is not for me...

Just remember, Freedom isn't Free

 

[Glenn G]

Cheapest I could find an FRS was 26k got my EBM for 24k so not even a contest.

i test drove my friends brand new frs before i got the mustang, its not a bad car at all but the inside compared to the mustang isnt exactly a shining example of awesomeness. The outside looks pretty good imo, they did a good job with it i think. The power is odd, feels like it doesnt want to go anywhere until you get up to speed, meanwhile the mustang feels like its saying " cant we go faster please?" all the time.

tune + some aftermarket parts, mustang is a monster.

gotta buy a turbo for the frs imo.

 

[ronv95]

If there is no V8 Mustang then I won't buy a Mustang.

Your V8 looks like ass. Take those stripes off and stop making DIB look bad.

 

[fionic]

what would you choose?

the frs is EXTREMELY underpowered. I'd get the EB.
