ill make a confession, ive been lingering on the 6g site for over a month now lmao .... and have been reading all the stuff these guys are doing already with the ecoboost. It is very impressive work.

the fact that most dealers haven't even received 15's in yet is also pretty crazy considering the amount of R&D already put in for the car by aftermarket vendors.

well like most people are saying the ecoboost mustang will most likely have more takers then the gt just because of the twin turbo set up and the tuning. the power potential out of those is going to be nuts and for me id rather see a new gt roll up beside me then the ecoboost lol they are gonna be a quick car

Boost, RWD, and 6 speed = good combo. How much does it weigh though?

I thought the ecoboost Mustang was the I-4T not the V6 TT.

Yeah it's too bad.

They should have ditched the NA v6 all together
Base 2.3turbo upgrade 2.7tt and tops 5.0. And then of course Shelby offerings.

Even better the 3.5TT from the SHO Taurus.

That would by the ideal hah. They would never cut it that close to the 5.0 numbers hah. It would be sweet.


Who does the NA v6 appeal to anyway. It's a pointless car. Especially now. Price obviously.... But frankly what is the point of a base mustang to begin with hah.

Not really a few mods to the 5.0 and it is near 500 crank hp.

no mod list? C&D has the car stock trapping only 98mph @ 13.9 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Automatic Test ? Review ? Car and Driver

If they picked up 17mph with just bolt ons and tune with a 4cyl #3600+ car that is impressive.

That thing is tapped out for sure 16-17 mph over stock is a lot to ask.

they put down 329 whp / 432 wtrq with a 3" dp and Ford Racing Touring Catback .... thats nuts.

the stock turbo is maxed out with bolt ons. a turbo upgrade is going to do wonders.


Livernois already has a short block in the works.

I'm surprised that not many people on here love this option. Besides the weight, this is everything everyone seems to have been wishing the Cobalt SS were. Turbo 4, Rwd, manual and a good interior.

Weight isn't even a big issue. Based on my experience with the Mustang, there are a lot of heavy parts in the car. Good Aftermarket seats, wheels and exhaust alone can drop 100-150 lbs. if you get a car without all the bells and whistles, that should put it in the 3,4xx range or about 400 lbs heavier than a Cobalt but there's more displacement to work with.

I wouldn't buy it because I prefer a NA V8 in a Mustang but I like it a lot.

My 5.0 base M6 with exhaust an some unnecessary weight removed came in around 3350lbs dry weight or 400lbs more than my TC was.

You do realize that what you described is basically a Solstice GXP or Sky Redline, with a back seat, right? . The interior is nicer, and the engine has more power stock for stock, but it also 8 years newer than the Kappas.

a gxp/redline + hardtop, more leg room, head room, usable trunk and back seats

and a lot more aftermarket options.

Well yeah but that's where the extra 4-500 lbs the mustang has comes from. I agree with you though, this is a good option for those who want a new, rwd, light(ish) weight, manual, tuner car.

Now if GM would just make the Code 130R with a 300 hp turbo 4... but they should have made that years ago already.

Exactly what he said ^ lol. Plus, if you didn't buy one new, they're very tough to find.
