72 Mach 1, 2024 F350 Tremor, 2024 Mustang GT
Hello, been a Mustang guy for a lot of years. Had some of the classic years, 68 289 & 71 302, still have 72 Mach I 351C project car. Did the fox years with an 88 hatchback and 90 convertible with the 5.0s and then into the next decade with the 94 GT and 99 SVT Cobra The last Mustang I bought was a new 2003 Cobra and just jumped back into the Mustang world with this 2024 GT over the weekend. Look forward to see what is new with this generation of Mustang and hopefully can contribute with my previous experiences.

2024 Ecoboost Premium
Hello -- I am about as much a Mustang novice as you'll find in this forum. Total days of Mustang ownership in my life: 1. Today, I acquired a 2024 EcoBoost Premium in Carbonized Gray Metallic with Black Onyx leather, the 201A package, and 19" wheels.

This is the first used car I've ever bought in my life, and only the second two-door. I have mostly focused on sedans and then small to mid-size SUVs. (My current regular ride is a Kia Telluride SXP.) Buying a Mustang was a rather quick-turnaround decision. I was having a casual conversation with my nephew about past vehicles I'd owned, and he asked whether I'd ever had an outright sports/muscle car. I replied that I had not, but that if I ever did, it would probably be a Mustang, since that had been one of my favorite cars since I was a kid. Later that day, I thought, why not? A couple of weeks later, here I am.

The EcoBoost was an easy choice because I have no plans for racing and don't otherwise feel any need for a V8. The Mustang's appeal for me is its heritage, style, and general sportiness, not track times. And I've always liked forced-induction engines. My first car was a Mazda MX-GT with a 2.2 liter turbo, a feisty powerplant for its day that blew away the era's Hondas, Acuras, etc. I had a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with a supercharged six that was a lot of fun, and a Jeep Cherokee with a 2.0 turbo that made 270 hp and 295 lb.-ft. Most importantly, I had a Ford Ecape with a little brother of my Mustang's engine, a 2.0 EcoBoost. I enjoyed that one a lot, so I figured that the 2.3 would be a perfect fit. Happy to be here.
