Here's a superior donut machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLfI99A1FBI As for the snake, it may have just been saved with the 15k price cut and HP Tuners cracking its ecu. They sold over 40 of them in the past week.

I would think if you tried to get it to spool faster, you'd just wind up with bent rods. Dat torque climb.

Performance pack and Recaros put it at $29k. No point in getting it without those. And like most of these will ever see 3500 RPM's more than once or twice a month. I don't think most people know you can rev that high without blowing the car up.

In general, the EB engines seem to be pretty mildly tuned from the factory. A 91 octane tune alone on the 3.5 in the f-150 gives you 60 more hp and 60 more ft/lbs of torque. Ford racing has a warrantied tune for the focus ST that adds 90 ft/lbs at 2800 RPM.

I think you're all missing the most exciting part of the veil being lifted on the Mustang: As soon as the initial hype begins to die down Fiat will hopefully feel comfortable releasing info on the upcoming Fiata!

It's great for low end, but the GT will be more at every rpm and a real 0 lag. My V6 sees 4k almost every drive, but I'm crazy like that.

Hmm, wife really wants a new car. Maybe I'll look at the Ecoboost Mustang. Also this sounds promising: http://wot.motortrend.com/1409_ford_shelby_mustang_gt350_to_get_5_2_liter_flat_plane_crank_v_8.html Focus RS with AWD and 350hp? Yes please.

We don't even know what the gently caress the GT350 is going to be. It could be CF front end and carbon ceramic brakes and 500hp flat plane at $70,000 gunning for the Z28. Also, ccalling it the F-RS is going to confuse it with the FR-S. There's the FoST, FiST, and FoRS.

I just looked up the the GT500. It was nearly $60k (somehow) so my $40k prediction was way the gently caress off. Without a blower I suspect it will come down, but they may just replace that cost with carbon fiber pieces.

If the rumors are true, with a 550hp 5.2l flat plane v8 and carbon ceramic rotors, they appear to be targeting supercars.

I havent heard anything about reviving the GT, either. Which is a pity. Reviving the GT as a 100k corvette stomper halo-car would be awesome. And yeah, the Mustang would just sound wrong with a flat plane V8.

SO back to muscle cars that people care about, Chrysler has just announced that Challenger Hellcat will achieve a class leading* 22 mpg highway rating for cars equipped with the automatic transmission. *  Compared to 18mpg for Aventadore LP700-4 and 16mpg F12 Berlinetta.

For the first time since the 60s the Mustang is going to be officially sold in Sweden, starting next year. No price announced yet but, seeing as how importing one would cost me about $52k all said for a Base GT, I'm guessing they won't be much cheaper than that.

Ford really should think of adjusting what shows in the features sections for what the 2015 Mustang Ecoboost Premium includes versus the plain 2015 Mustang Ecoboost model. It jumps $4000 dollars and just mentions Heated Mirrors, Sirius XM and Pony Projection Lights. I know there is more to it, but maybe they should have highlighted the bigger items? I did not realize cooled seats would be an option. Anyone know which models or packages you need to get those? I tried those in a CTS and loved them. Also, what are Pony Projection Lights? Seems like the base Ecoboost comes with HIDs stock which is nice. I also wonder how the Recaros are. If they are really premium with lots of adjustments like the ones in the 2nd gen CTS-V, or more spartan with just a knob to move them back and forth like the ones in say an Evo X.

Leather heated/cooled seats are part of the EB premium package. You lose the heating/cooling if you get the optional Recaros though. Most people who've sat in both say unless you're tracking the car often, don't bother with the Recaros - the regular sport seats hold you fairly well already.

I've sat in the heated/cooled seats in a GT Premium (same seats as the Ecoboost) and they are excellent. Perfectly suitable for everyday driving and some occasional tracking I imagine. I did not see any models at Woodward that had the Recaros sadly.
