Thank you everybody for your replies. I drove a 14 v6 before I left and I liked it. I just have to decide whether I can deal with the Ecoboost exhaust.

This could be a problem. I drove the EB yesterday at that Ford event at the mall, they had a dozen of them. You could barely hear them at all, they were so quiet as they drove by picking up people and dropping them off that they could've been mistaken for electric cars.
Don't know what it would sound like with an after mkt exhaust but stock it doesn't come close to the v6.

Do you care for options? If not go 6 do your mods and have 0 worries about the engine

No I will be getting the base auto v6 or Eco. It's going to be my fun car so don't need all of the extra stuff.

Its a no brainer. For a "daily driver" the 3.7 V6 is the way to go. Its cost less, runs on regular 87 octane gas, and if your you choose the Convertible, you`ll save between 5K to 6K too!

Plus, if you can get some aftermarket pieces you can upgrade the V6 to some premium features yourself and like phil said you can run on 87 and still get your 300 HP.

FYI, the EB on 87 drops to about 270HP and loses torque but all the engines are designed to be run on 87.

v6. My curreant car is faster than the EB and v6, so im just waiting until i can afford the big boy v8.

what kind of misinformed crap is this?!

The EB doesnt lose all its torque...it has the same amount with barely different delivery with a slight drop in peak hhp. Also the difference in premium and regular is $5 over a full tank, every time I calculate it. You shouldnt be buying new if $5/week (for example) will break your bank. The EB also comes with a little more standard even if your going for a base, including power passenger seat, 3.31 rear axle, and diamond mesh trim. brightens up the interior, looks a little more expensive

Finally, the EB will respond to mods WAAAY better. A tune on an EB will get massive HP gains compared to a V6 tune. You want a fun car, the EB is the way to go

Plus the EcoBoost gets the nifty Engine Noise Enhancement Chip that the V6 and V8 don`t get too!

He meant 304hp/342tq. 30hp over stock and 51ftlbs/tq with just one mod. :shocked:

Now that WMS has released their results for Ecoboost tune I am defiantly getting Ecoboost. Might lose out on sound with the v6 but can't beat those cheap gains.
