2024 ecoboost
I just wanted to share my excitement with mustang community. Couple of months ago i was super happy with my ecoboost and modification i did. and i even wrote a short blog about it. But because i am one very lucky human being, after two years of ownership i got a deal that i couldn't pass. So today i traded my eco for 2024 gt with active exhaust pp and nite pony package. I just drove the car back home some 350 miles, and i have to say that gt is so much better in every possible way. Granted ecoboost was the fastest and most powerful car i ever drove, so compared to that gt is a rocket. Also i found that the loudness of the active exhaust is more then enough (for me at least). Only thing i didnt like is how the exhaust tips look, but that will be changed im sure. Also i like dark horse steering wheel that i had on eco much more, so ill be getting that too. Anyway i took just couple of bad pictures today (i was too excited), but i will post more in the future with new mods. Enjoy!

Congrats!! And yes- I think the PP w/ Active Exhaust is perfect.

The only thing keeping me from grabbing a dark horse wheel is that the blue stitching won’t match and the GT steering wheel is pretty close to the same unless I’m missing something?

Congrats again beautiful car

Yes, an EcoBoost is no comparison to real naturally aspirated power. Driving an EcoBoost next to a GT feels like driving a regular GT next to a Dark Horse. The specs might look close on paper, but the experience simply can’t be captured in numbers. Congrats on the new ride!

Thanks you. Material is different and dark horse steering wheel is little bit thicker at least at least it felt like that to me. And also chrome parts are black

Exactly, i never drove v8 and honestly wasn't rly close to one except when it passes on the street. So i knew that gt sounds good but i rly didnt understand how freaking good it sounds. Its like a wild beast. Its incredible. Also thanks!!!

Maybe it sounds lame, but in my case i believed and trusted that i will have it, and honestly the car (deal) literally fell into my hands and we finished everything in a day. So good luck!

Dark Matter Gray with Grabber Blue calipers was my first choice, very nice combo.
