Well times have changed sir. A 1000 bucks worth of upgrades on a ecoboost mustang will run or beat a current SS camaro and maybe even 5.0. So if it only takes a 1000 dollars to go just as fast yet cost 10-15,000 less to buy is it worth it? I'd say so and that's why ford is selling them like hot cakes.

You "believe", but I just told you what it is. The ATS 4 is at least 100 pounds lighter than the Ecoboost.

1,000 bucks in an ecoboost will not beat a 5.0. If you think so, bring the car, some money, and let's find out.

And for the record, a non turbo 4 doesn't even exist in the ATS coupe.

I was unaware it didn't come with a n/a 4. My bad. I do know though see that it has a luxury and non-luxury version. That explains the weight difference.

As for the ecoboost vs gt I don't have access to either but you can search the web or youtube to see what's up. Here's one with a tire and tune only. That should probably leave a few bucks to spend on other parts. https://youtu.be/H2dkcQGQBXs

Plus I said "run with OR beat" and "maybe".

[NASTY99Z28]

Even if it does come in at 3400-3450lbs its still down on power a good chunk. Now if the v6 can weigh 3500-3550lbs it should be a good run stock.

Yes when I say otherwise stock it was on the factory wheels and tires with no other modifications beside the seats

$1,000 bucks in an ecoboost will absolutely beat a GT. I'm not sure about the rules for posting links to other forums on here but if you want it I'll link you to a thread with video and time slips of an ecoboost running a 12.7 @ 109mph and beating a 5.0 at the same time. It also happens to be with the same Livernois tune that I'm currently running

He is on stock wheels and tires and has a down pipe, tune and intake

And a light tune he didn't want to tell anyone about so he could stretch his E-pecker.

Mags are getting 14.0-14.1. I'll give you a few tenths off that, because that's the way it happens. 13.8, sure. 13.6 - Maybe, with a great run. 13.2, stock, No.

False, it is perfectly possible. Livernois ran an 11.8 in their ecoboost with their tune and only the front passenger seat pulled on DRs

So, you had one guy that beat a 5.0 and now that means it will beat them down? Funny, I looked at multiple videos of tuned with Drag Radials and they're trapping 106-07 at 12.6.. That's a low trap speed with a solid ET.. Wonder why.. Hmmm. Couldn't be the tires.

I don't think there is anything against posting links, but I could be wrong. I'm sure I can find it in the ecoboost Mustang6G section.

At the end of the day, it's a 4 cylinder in a Mustang or Camaro.. Sure, it can be made somewhat quick, but the v8 can be made even quicker with most likely less of a chance of blowing up. Want to talk about bang for buck? Just buy a used 4 cylinder turbo car then and mod since you'd be voiding warranty on your Mustang anyway.

Let's run down the strip until either the 5.0 or the 2.3 blows up..Haha.

Ecoswag, have you used your track apps? If so, what kind of times have you gotten?

On the street trap speed doesn't matter. If you pull up next to a tuned mustang EB that is putting down 360-380ft-lb torque at the wheels at around 3000rpm you better not assume that because you have a 5.0 you are going to win to the next light. There are plenty of videos on youtube to prove it.

And like I said that run was on stock tires so he had to keep traction control on

Just looked at the Mustang6G threads for 1/4 on the v8 and 4 turbo.. The 5.0 is killing it.
