I believe it was. Some cars have hit 13.9 right off the lot. That engine in the EcoStang is just sonically terrible. Not a good sounding engine at all. I'm just not sure if it's so bad as to justify spending an extra 6 grand for the V8.

Or stick with the V6 saving the money, sounds better than the EcoStang, and could be modded with the 6K you saved.

I'd get the Ecoboost....then sell the engine to some tuners and do an LS swap .

I'm not saying people can't complain, but it's pretty funny considering the only sound you hear from our cars is crickets. |

2015 Mustang First Reviews
Don't own one. I'm simply in the market. That's why I'm here. As for the Mustang, if one were planning a track monster with no real ceiling on money, the V6 is the easy choice. That motor is no joke: aluminum block, forged crank, six bolt main.... May take you at least 10 grand to realize that motors full potential. But for someone who's just going to lightly modify something, it's always hard to go against the bang for the buck of a turbo. 1500 bucks will go a lot farther in the EcoStang than the V6 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by PRG3000; 11-04-2014 at 01:12 PM. |

For a track monster Mustang, the V8 is the only choice. The aftermarket support is fantastic.

That looks damn good. I think they need more wheel/tire if they want to win the performance game for long.
