The fact that the new mustang will have IRS means the hella flush crowd is going to slam whatever mustang they get their hands on, be it v6, GT, or ecoboost. Its bound to happen.

Umm, 40?
Ohhh yeahhh...INLINE 6. I was way off...even though I said "6 CYLINDER" as well, you had to break my balls by thinking I had no idea what I was talking about when I mistakenly said V6 instead of inline 6. Obviously (or I guess not to you) my point was cylinder count there dopey, which I would be correct.
I can obviously tell there is a huge 4 cylinder fan base here. I respect that. To me, I'm disappointed. No one will change that. Call it hard-headed, don't like change, or just don't like 4 cylinder Mustangs. That's just me. But what a great thread this turned out to be.
Call me old school. Hell, older school than the mid 70s mustang crowd even. I love the days of v8 fastbacks, 429 Bosses, Mach 1s, Shelby GT350s....all of which were V8s. Yes, (as another wanted to point out I was SO wrong by saying "v6" instead of "inline 6" on the mid 60s Mustangs) I know they were for sure part of making Mustang what it is today. I just wasn't a fan of those V6s either.
For all the SVO fans out there, respect to you. I just never liked them. To each their own.
Of course, now that we know the new Mustang is not only going to be not as light as initially rumored, but actually heavier than the last model, do we really still think that turbo4 is going to move that hefty thing as quick as we thought...stock? Someone mentioned up top earlier that there is no way comparing a 4 cylinder to a v8 is going to make the same power side by side, so why would we think the 4 banger will move this platform better than the v8?
I'll check back in another month or two and see where this one ends up too. :coolman:
I think you are making the mistake of assuming people on here are 4 cylinder enthusiasts.. In actuality, most people on here are performance enthusiasts. I like V8s the most, but I like performance too.
And who actually thinks the stock EB is going to move this car better than the coyote? The only way that is going to happen is if the EB is modded and the coyote is stock. The EB will be more nimble as it has less weight up front and in general, which there is a massive market for.
There is a lot of fun to be had in a light and nimble car, grab a Fiesta ST and throw it into a few turns. You'll enjoy it.

We've been modding GTDI engines since 2010. Their called Taurus SHO's. And their are some pretty fast ones.

Who can I thank for the ****ed up shifting in my 2012?
Lol. My '14 does the SAME THING. I have another thread on that specifically, but seems that has been sorted a bit with a solid bushing Van sells.
Call it as you wish. Have read pages of those defending the 4 cylinder model. Though I will be eager to read handling reviews/numbers on the 4 cylinder. Stock for stock it's not going to go around a track any quicker than a GT. A Fiesta is a totally different car. How can you even compare the two? You buy it for what it is. If I wanted something really nimble, fun, good gas mileage, I'd buy a Fiesta ST. To me, Mustang is completely different animal. Putting a 4 cylinder into it only brings it closer to a Fiesta....with a whole lot more weight.
Game. Set. Match.:dancenana:
makes no sense.
I cant wait for the ecoboost mustang. Its so refreshing to see Ford going in this direction. Thats why I love the foward thinking of this great brand. Technology and innovation at its finest. They certainly aren't afraid to be different.
Also cant wait for the GT350's Big Brother... Itll be nice to FINALLY see a Halo car from Ford that doesnt have that Shelby name on it to sell units. Or at least we can only hope.

The SVO kicks ass, I love both of mine. They are more agile than my 14' track pack. The 2015 isn't an SVO, but that doesn't mean it won't be a good car and have potential. Some people like to take corners.

The 13-14 GT500 engine is the Trinity engine, which was based on the 11-12 GT500 engine.
you are the guy that after blasting down the straight will have to point by miatas on street tires, by turn two.
and for how far ahead this site is for tech knowledge or 550 tech. it is very behind what is happening. shocked about some of the trolling threads here that could be ended in a link or two.
but will not link as dont want to be accused of click bait.
beers
