2015 Ford Mustang....turbo?

[kahiljabroni]

So i was at a dealership today and came across a 2015 mustang. First off, the new body style is sick. I mean real nice. Someone please post a pic, not sure how on my mobile. Come to find out its a 2.4 liter turbo 4 cyl ecoboost that puts out 310 hp. I did some reading up on it and apparently it falls way short of the gt(no suprise), but is a big improvement from the 300hp v6 and a pretty impressive car.

Any car enthusiasts have thoughts on this thing?

lol@ buying a mustang with a 2.4l4


why the hell would you do that? The v8 one is the only one that matter's

The 4 cylinder mustang is listed as 172 lbs lighter than the V8 and probably handles better overall, plus it gets better mileage. So, if you're a chick, and you want a commuter car, it seems like a good option.

People said he same thing about the Grand Nationals back in the day too..

Nothing wrong with 310hp, even if it is a 4 cylinder. Remember the 69 Boss 302 was 290hp.

Thats what they were rated at for insurance reasons, it's hard to go off stock hp numbers back then.

The turbo makes it interesting imo, but where is the torque coming from?

Ok then, a 92 GT had 230ish.


Variable vane turbo? It's got a 3.7 in stroke.

Lol, yeah the 90's were harsh tho the GMC Typhoons and Cyclones were nothing to fuck with.

What are the actual torque numbers by chance?

320 for the eco boost, 310 hp. I'm guessing tuners will be able to bump it up to 350hp with bolt ons.

320 for the eco boost.

That isn't bad if the curb weight isn't something ridiculous.


Of course, I'd prefer a V8 but I can't be mad at someone trying to put some power somewhere you might not expect it.


Oh the glory of the days when gas was 97 cents a gallon

Not a big Mustang fan but this looks to be a HUGE improvement to the body style.

My cousin has a Bronco with a 6.0L LQ9, and that monster eats up half the gas tank driving to Costco.

3300ish I think.

Interior is terrible though. Ford needs to bring in someone to design interiors for them. The interiors in all the new vehicles are lacking and feel cheep.

but that is a quality car. Not a eco shit fuck

This is the model I bought. The outer design is very sleek and the interior is well done as well. I went with the 50 year trim as well. Mustang did well with their 2015.

I have 30 miles to and from work and I am getting 30 miles to the gallon with the beauty.

I've got an f150 ecoboost it does have a lot off power but the gas mileage is no better than the v8.

I love the new body style, just enough retro left over, but you can tell they're starting to go in a different direction.

The big problem (for me) with the ecoboost motor, is the lack of a V8 sound. I know I'd miss it.

Granted, intake/exhaust/fueling mods with an ECU reflash would net around 400 hp, or more. That'd help me forgive the buzzy import noise it makes while doing burnouts.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

^^ yep, just the exhaust mods will get you another 50/60 hp, at least what i have read...but i'm no gear head.

30 miles to the gallon with 300 plus hp is a fine trade off imo.

Buddy of mine has a 2012 Impala (I think it's a 2012) with a 300 hp V6 motor and he only gets like 20 mpg -he actually likes the car but bitches constantly about the gas mileage.
