The new car is a 6 speed Ecoboost Premium with 201A package and Black Accent package. I will miss the cornering ability of the 86 but the ride comfort (or lack thereof) is a faint memory. I will probably be checking in from time to time. See ya guys

Bummer about your back. Glad you found something better for you that is still fun. Best of luck.

Don't get me wrong. If I was a younger version of myself the ride and low seat height would be a non issue. I am just not aging well. During my test drive I took these 2 things into consideration and at the time my back was doing fine. My back pain is not a 24/7 365 issue. I have bad days months and good times too. I just got to the point that the bad times far out weighed the good times. So a change was definitely needed. I do miss the go kart cornering of the 86. The Mustang does corner pretty well even though I haven't really tested it yet. But it does it with a bit of body roll. Not a lot like an old Cadillac but more than the 86. I definitely can feel the extra weight of the car. I will adjust. And the Ecoboost doesn't have a frigging torque dip. Yaaah Fn Hooo.

Congrats man, it’s a terrific car, and your health is always priority 1. The Ecoboost is a true gem of an engine, I love it. Imagine throwing that in an 86!

I haven't got into it too much yet. But the little that I have has been exciting. It really pulls good.

Turbos are so much fun, and from what I’ve read that engine can easily make more power. Have fun and drive safely!
