Seems like every publication wanted to try it out for themselves.

That being said, I wouldn't mind having that extra half liter of displacement for day to day driving. As for the track though, I wouldn't want any more high end power but rather a smoother torque range.

Really not a glowing review for a $46k Mustang w/ the "performance" pack that's still slower than a older fat Camaro. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTJPDurLEKw"]2015 Ford Mustang GT vs. 2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS - Head 2 Head Ep. 58 - YouTube[/ame] Glad I didn't wait for it. Yeah, it's an improvement pretty much across the board but somehow quite a disappointment. That's a special feat to pull off by Ford. Last edited by abraxis; 10-16-2014 at 04:16 AM. |

Similar to the track test this one pretty much dings the weight killing the power/weight ratio for the 4 banger.

In the ^frame^ above I was thinking the Camaro looked downright slim compared to the Mustang. Probably just the angle...

I like how the new 2015 Mustang looks but it would probably cost 2 x BRZ's price in Finland. All Mustangs are ridiculously overpriced here.
I just checked what kinda Mustang I could get with BRZ's price (35k€) and car with lowest mileage was 2008 Mustang 4.0 V6 that has been imported from US. It has 45000 miles on the clock and price tag is 34900€. |

Here they are about the same price. Mustang ecoboost with track package is faster than a frs on that track at least.

I think I could put close to $15K of that difference towards performance tires, brakes, suspension and power and do quite well. |
