How many members own or ordered an ecoboost?

[nycarpenter]

Just wondering how many regular non vendor/tuner members purchased an ecoboost.

 

[four28]

I haven't yet but will be as soon as this one is paid off.

 

[SID297]

I ordered one.

 

[DSG2003SVT]

I'm trying very hard to get a buddy to order one. Does that count?

 

[SID297]

To be fair, we ordered a GT too.

 

[sunburned]

Thinking about it, but no place to store a 2nd car right now. Whenever I get a house with a driveway, I'd like to pick one up.

 

[nycarpenter]

looking for those that pulled the trigger not future maybe buyers.

I'm also interested in hearing who will order an Ecoboost, especially out of people who already own a V8 Mustang. I was thinking that it would be pretty cool as a second fun car, that's a bit more fuel efficient and "different", to own an Ecoboost in addition to a 5.0 or some other GT variation.

Kind of unrelated but I'm also interested in seeing if the availability of a 4 cylinder, Turbo Mustang, will cause any of the import crowd to take a look at Mustangs instead of cars with similar numbers, like the WRX/STI, EVO, Z cars, etc.

I'm not sure it will take from the evo/sti crowd but I imagine the BRZ/FRS guys will be interested in it.

I would buy an ST Focus or wait for the RS to hit the states.

Import guys have no higher power RWD platforms. I think the mustang will draw a few more of those guys than people expect.

 

[Aaron@JPCRacing]

We've got our Ecoboost

Yeah this is kind of what I was thinking. They can still take satisfaction in modding a solid car with a smaller engine + forced induction, and have the joy of rear wheel drive + all of the massive aftermarket support available to Mustangs. Obviously some of the more diehard import fans won't be swayed but I think it's a good crossover platform that will open up Mustangs to a new demographic of tuners and enthusiasts.

I 100% agree. There is a local "import" shop that took delivery 2 weeks ago and has already designed downpipe, intake, BOV, etc. I must say, it sounds pretty nasty when the BOV pops!

 

[nycarpenter]

I will wait and see how much these sell for 1 year old.

 

[MikeLTDLX]

I sold my 2012 GT and bought an EcoBoost. I love it and the modding has commenced!

I'm a vendor but very excited as a car person to have an ecoboost showing up in 10 days.

 

[SID297]

It's setting in the driveway now. Wait until you hear the story of how it got here.
