Ready to pull trigger...but first some questions??

[Bigdom]

Ok so I'm ready to pull the trigger on an ecoboost mustang but I have some questions before I do and you guys seem to be the best bunch to help so here goes....

1. I'm a curvy guy (lol) 6' 350 and I recently test drove one and though it wasn't too bad I was wondering if recaro seats would be better for headroom since they seem a little lower than factory seats

2. I've been a v8 guy my whole life but I always loved the oddballs i.e. Grand National and the 89 turbo Trans am (had one) and for some reason these ecoboost cars seem to remind me of them they're not the fastest cars by any means but they piss off the purists and shake up the enthusiasts...so my question is will this car be fun to drive like stop light to stop light fun or will it be boring...money wasnt an object here before someone chimes in and says buy a gt if I wanted to go that route I could've picked up a Camaro or challenger or gt but like I said i love the oddball

Thanks in advance guys

Dude you're shaped like me only bigger. Recaros are a bad idea.

 

[Bigdom]

Really why you say that?

Headroom is no issue I am 6'4" with normal seats and I have over an inch of headroom.

Good luck with your choice.

The recaros will be a bit tight, try to find one to sit in and see.

Eco vs GT is the most popular and heated discussion on here, test drive them both and see what you like. But yes the ecoboost has a lot of power, any choice is good.

Hunterooo, I was secretly hoping you were bringing the salt shaker ;)

I'm 6'8 225 and fit just fine... rear space is non existent though

350 will be tight for recaros, really tight

cliff notes: get the v8

If I was 350lbs, I'd get the GT 350 and a matching 350 tattoo on my butt

I am 6'1ish and 320ish pounds with a very long torso, and I have no issues with height, or comfort in the normal seats. I actually think the recaros are worse for larger people like ourselves.

1. No recaros
2. Go for the GT

I'm a big guy as well, recaros will not be good. They are tight in the back and lower body to hold you in. If your big you either won't fit or won't be comfortable. Either way the standard seats would be better. As to the EB, well I'm sure it will be fun to drive. I got the V6 because I didn't like the exhaust sound and a few other reasons but if that's what you want then go for it! :ford::hail::ford:

doesnt seem to take long before people trade their Eco thing for a v8. There's been several on this forum I think...get the v8 and don't look back
