Traded my Ecoboost for a GT

[BlackMambaGT]

I had my 2019 Ecoboost Premium with FRPP Tune and CVF Intercooler for about a year when I decided that I really needed the V8 sound. I kept hearing the V8 Mustangs and just had to pull the trigger and trade my 2019 Ecoboost for a 2019 GT. Certainly helped that the dealership was selling a 12 month old GT demo unit. The in service date on both cars were 2 days apart and the mileage was withing 500 KMs. Both cars are shadow black, premium coupes, although the GT came with more options.

Four major differences I noticed with the GT.

1. The sound of the V8 is indeed awesome and addictive. the GT has active exhaust and I find myself not wanting to turn on the radio(:
2. The braking on the GT is much better than the Ecoboost. It's not that the braking was bad on the Ecoboost, it's just better on the GT.
3. I have the 20" wheel package on the GT and as such it handles much better then the Ecoboost with the base 18" wheels.
4. The power of this V8 is amazing. Around the city in normal driving there really isn't a huge difference as it's hard to get the GT above 3K RPM with all the traffic. But when I take it out in the rural areas, OMG, this GT is a beast.

Congrats on the new GT Gord. I did the same thing last year. Sometimes i wonder why I bothered with the B&O system.

By the way, pics or it didn't happen!

Thanks Ira. Haven't taken any pics as yet, as to me it looks like the same car. Also weather here is rainy, soggy, muddy mess. I must admit I do like the B&O stereo over the 9 speaker system in the Ecoboost.

Congratulations on the upgrade! I've had my GT 3 days and find myself hitting the mute button on the steering wheel a lot Just love that Coyote sound.

Would love to order some parts online, but unfortunately shipping to Canada is always way too expensive. It's a game the shipping companies play, even if the part is made in the USA they still charge outrageous shipping fees and then try to ding you for duty as well(:

If you have an auto with the transmission modes, put it in dragstrip mode, 2nd gear with the shifter in S, paddles active, TCS off but leave advancetrack on, full throttle in 2nd gear from 30 to 45 mph then hit the right paddle at 45 and keep it floored

I really appreciate your offer, but it's cheaper for me to drive across the border. One of my friends who is a US citizen is moving back to the US next year and will be just across the border from me. Then I'll be able to take advantage of all the free shipping offers!

Congrats. I traded my 15’ EB PP premium for a 15’ GT premium back in July 2015. The EB was a nice car I just hated the way it sounded.

and feel the differential sheer thru the bolts. Well, maybe not. But do get those rear bolts shimmed as soon as practical.
