Not suddenly, always. That's pretty much a given since I have no way of knowing how competent or even how honest someone on the internet is.

Now tell me how you believe people on the internet more than your own experience.

Well since I'm usually just diverting. And have to post photos for a precious few. To prove someone in my family owned an entry level v6 mustang. I'll say this. As someone that holds an NHRA license. (Wanna see a picture of it)? And has run multiple cars on NJ motors sports park, large and small course. I can say with full certainty. Anyone that thinks a stock entry level v6 Mustang. Is outperforming a GT. IS AN IDIOT! And should roll up their copy of C&D. And beat themselves to death with it. For the betterment of Mankind. I will say it again. So you and a very select few. Completely understand. Entry level cars will NEVER out perform their more expensive big brothers. In any performance matrix. I dont care if it's a Camaro. Mustang. Or Hyundai Veloster. The base models job. Is to be an affordable option for those that want the sports car experience. Without the sports car headaches! (High insurance costs. Poor fuel mileage. High purchase cost. Etc.)

By which I mean I agree with you

I feel this thread has come off the tracks a bit, but still amusing

Insurance rates between models of the same car have always been about the same in my experience. When I was in my early 20s, the difference in a V8 sports car vs the V6 variant of the same car was a rounding error. Maybe there's more of a difference now, but now that I'm in my 40s with no traffic violations or accidents, it's not going to matter much to the insurance company.

Back to the thread topic of the HPP package priced at $4995. I can't see where a IL-4 engine is worth that investment. In my opinion it's not worth pushing the engine to that extreme. How long will it hold together? I'm not sensing a balanced cost benefit analysis. (this coming from an old timer that had headers and side pipes on a '75 Camaro with a 120HP stock 350 V-8

What... is not worth pushing the engine to that extreme? Many others who own Mustangs, upgrade their components with better stuff. The $5k price is more than just a Ford Performance engine.

The HPO is an easy tick of the options, for anyone who wants to buy a performance turbo Mustang. And not build one.

The Ecoboost engines are holding together just fine old timer. The new Hi performance I4 Mustang is as quick, on paper, as a 2015-2017 GT and will handle better than most pre 2017 Mustangs. This car is giving some of you GT owners nightmares and for good reason.

There should be an asterisk there leading to fine print saying...

*When Ecoboost is equipped with world's fastest shifting automatic and GT is equipped with a manual being shifted by a chimpanzee

What is this thread about??

Dumpster fires, apparently.

What is this thread about??

the HiPo EB is powered by an arc reactor hand built by Tony Stark in a cave

… with a box of scraps.

 

[EcoVert]

I think this will be an option also

It is like some of these people never heard of Ford Performance.. and what Dealer installed Tunes will do for a Mustang.


It is like these same people don't know that 2.3 Turbos have been walking V8 for years. That doesn't stop people from buying v8s, or enjoying the v8 sublime tone, etc. But there is no need to chide people who like Turbos... knowing they like turbos because of the performance you can extract out of them.

What does a Tune+ built engine produce... & how is the HPO any less capable..?
