Hi guys!
I currently own a 2011 STI with intake/header/turbo back/tune and am in the process of picking out a 2015 Mustang.
I don't know much about the Mustang, aside from car reviews and spec sheets, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out.
I'm deciding between the ecoboost and the GT. The Ecoboost appeals to me because having owned both a WRX and an STI, I'm pretty comfortable with 4 cylinder turbo cars, and having factory forged internals and direct injection already in place is pretty much an enthusiast's dream. It's just asking for a bigger turbo (assuming the fueling system is sufficient), with which it could easily compete with the GT in terms of power.
However, I feel that many purists consider the GT the true Mustang and I've never had a V8 RWD car before, so I'm very curious about the driving experience.
I'm also really excited that the 2015 can basically handle just as well as the STI.
With that said, how much power potential do you guys think the Ecoboost has compared to the GT? Is the coyote engine fully forged, or just crank and rods?
How safely can these cars be moded? I come from the Subaru scene where one has to think twice about modding because of the infamous ringland issue, which is the main reason I didn't continue modding my STI past bolt-ons and a tune.
Thanks in advance!
