Supercharged Twins vs ecoboost mustang
 
What are your thoughts?

Mr.ac 03-23-2016 08:08 AM

Power to weight ratio. Problem solved.

Would pick the Mustang.

Reliability, warranty, bros. Everything the twins can't give when boosted. Except bros. You'll get lots of bros who will want to kick it and smoke vapes with you.

What more could you want out of a car?

Twins, because any mustang that's not a v8 isn't a mustang. *Laughs in Merican*

My thoughts (having not driven the Mustang) would be;

Do you prefer light weight, better handling and "race car" or;
Bigger power and torque, but also heavier (aka worse handling) and "muscle car".

Looks are always subjective, and while I like both... I do prefer the smooth, sexy lines of the twins over the muscle car.

Depends on if you're like Vin Diesel or Paul Walker [RIP]

My thoughts? You should never buy a mustang without anything less than a V8

Docmattic 03-23-2016 05:43 PM

I just thought it was an even comparison. I have a supercharged twin. The mustang just got released here in AUS. They're selling out so fast you cant even test drive them.

Price wise i've bought and supercharged my gt86 for around $31k AUD (new exhaust, retune and engineering certificate included) where the ecoboost costs $51k after taxes.
I was just interested to see how they would compare, both being 4-pots.

Different strokes but I will say the Ecoboost has one hell of an engine, and plenty of room for more power.

Twins just because I like the way they look more than the Mustang.

That's fair. In Canada, the ecoboost starts at 28k I think. A much fairer comparison.

The Mustang is only viable as comparison in North America evrywhere else they are way to expensive for what they are.. And in the price range of alot More fast and prestigious cars. You would Be paying almost 50k for a car originally worth around 25k?
