Do we think Ford is going to make an S650 GT500/Cobra?

...now that I think about it, has there ever been data recorded on the number of V8 Mustangs stolen due to being parked outside on a regular basis?

They don't? You sure about that?

Where did I get that screenshot of the "2.3l High Performance Package" then? Certainly not from the "build an EcoBoost fastback" on Fords website

Enjoy talking about 0-60's kid...

That's on the 2025? You sure about that "kid"?...

The 2025 isn't even being made yet

so what we we even be comparing it to?

the eco is going to suck even more without it. No PP wheels and summer tires, brembos, 3.55's, paddle shifters, torsen...good luck getting your 0-60's with the base model on all seasons

thank you ford for getting rid of all the things that saved the EB from being a complete joke. Now it's just a sad sack for 2025

Another solid data point...

Car and Driver tested both the Dark Horse and the 392 Durango to both run a 4.1 second 0-60

but we all know the Dark Horse is a way faster car (it will put a bus length on it after 60)

it’s all about the traction to 60. The heavier, torquier vehicle has that one. Then of course it get its butt whooped.

Durango is AWD

it's like the WRX guys would talk 0-60 and then wonder why got left like they were standing still after that

Unless they deleted it for 2025, the HPP is offered for S650 Ecoboost. Was just looking at it on the Build & Price site

edit: that was indeed for 2024. It’s been deleted for 2025…

So sad that the $32k Ecoboost has a better 0-60 than the $46k type r lol

Now imagine putting just half that extra money into the Ecoboost what it could do.

No it does not. The 32k non performance version is a sad sack of shit.

imagine if you just put the 5.0 in the ecoboost, it'd be better than the 2.3 with mods. Oh wait they already make that

Good day.

It's gone. So you can't get a "good" EcoBoost anymore. The ones all the magazines test. You get basic brakes, all season tires, no performance rear end blah blah

so negating all the things they EB owners brag about being great handling blah blah

 

[robvas]

Turns out you need to spend even more money to get the spec that Car and Driver got for the amazing 0-60 tjme

Yeah, the 5.0 has better performance than the Ecoboost of course. I have a 5.0 with the performance package, active exhaust, nite pony etc.

But the Ecoboost is a lot cheaper and gives great performance... Even better 0-60 than a type r that costs 46k lol And that was the original point. I said it was good value.

Good day

You keep trying to use EB with all the performance options to judge the performance of the base model...you realize that makes no sense right?

 

[robvas]

Also...to get the full performance of the car that C&D sent (that was faster than any other previous year EcoBoost)

you have to start with the Premium EcoBoost

add the high performance package to get the Brembos, performance rear end, and summer tires and 19
Add the active exhaust
And add the magneride suspension

comes in a hair over $45k

now, I realize only an idiot buys a Domestic car without massive discounts but that's basically the same price as that Civic Type R

Wrong again.. I'm using the 2025 Mustang Ecoboost 0-60 which is 4.5 seconds by Car and Driver.

All this work you put in your post for nothing lol I used the $32k 2025 Mustang Ecoboost 0-60 which comes in at a good 4.5 seconds compared to the $46k Civic Type R which got a 4.9 seconds by Car and Driver.
