Did they just steal one of Chazcron's renderings? That's way to close to his to be the actual car.

Anyone else notice the dash photo? Look at the 4 round vents on top of the center stack...the spy photo only showed 3. What gives?

Were did it go??? I know I just saw the autoweek cover, but its gone now.......hmmmmm


Nevermind......I see it in a different thread (http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=969). Thanks!

Cool. Basically what the survey said too. It only makes sense they give this a slight advantage over the base if it's going to be priced as an upgrade.

I would think the Ecoboost model would have a few more differences as well to justify the premium over the base. Maybe some subtle styling differences and some extra standard features.

I wonder what the torque curve looks like...flat from 1500 to 6000?

FB post says this is on regular fuel. Wonder what a premium tune and exhaust would do?

Getting 32 MPGs and beating 2 and 3v 4.6s? Who woulda thunk!

The question is at a mile and half above sea level daily. Would I prefer a tuned ecoboost mustang or tuned 5.0 ?

Wouldn't the tuned EB still be a better choice? I'm no turbo expert, but it's still adding more air than the N/A 5.0.

I am not sure i know my 02 wrx feels like a rocket after driving my 3.7 . Granted I am running 20 pounds of boost. I just want to test drive the 15 5.0 back to back with ecoboost. With the altitude loss the 5.0 up here makes about the same as a 3.7 at sea level

Sounds like F/I all the way then. That sucks!

Even at sea level, I noticed the butt dyno difference between the ecoboost and 5.0 F150s. The EB just feels like a smooth power band at any speed.

After 3 straight v6 mustangs I just have the stigma of not getting a v8.. I can't wait to test drive them !!!!!!!!

I know what you mean, I constantly had the "Shoulda had a v8" moment with the old boat anchor 4.0s. But the EB has a certain quirkiness to it that is appealing. It's a truly rare mustang.

I guess that's one thing that bothered me, being in an endless sea of sixers, it was hard to stand out.

Definitely, and all the common folk who ask is it a v8?...... Makes you feel like crap even though your car will out accelerate most on the street.
