Just to put 12.98 and 13.6 into perspective...'05-'09 Mustang GT stock 1/4 mile times: 13.6-13.8, '11 Mustang 5.0 stock 13.2, '11 Camaro SS stock 13.0, '08 Challenger SRT8 stock 13.3 --- Numbers from Car & Driver Magazine

[@OffroadNow]

I really don't understand some people. As a guy who has owned plenty of V8, V6, and now an eco-boost mustang, I can definitely say there's room for all of them. I also don't know why you intentionally enter the comment section of a video you clearly have no interest in just to knock someone else's car. The most hilarious part is that this car, with just a tune and CAI, will beat a stock GT for $6000+ less (those savings count the money spent on the cold air intake and tune). The bang for buck on this car is insane. In fact, there's a video from another racing group (I think it's JPR) that is getting 12.6 on stock tires and just a tune.

[@OffroadNow]

Just checked, it's JLP Racing.

[@elr2141979]

Tyler Brasil I agree with you I have the same problem with the 2011+ v6 owners. I have a 2010 GT they keep saying how much faster there cars are with mods. And my car has no mods.

[@pwnedbygary]

Tyler Brasil That, and with the same mod, CAI and tune, the car will put down an additional 45+ HP and thats what, 600 hundred bucks? I just bought an ALMOST NEW 2013 GT for 22,990 before TTL and whatnot, and thats a STEAL imo. The 5.0 sounds so much meaner, and with that price, is SO much better for the money.

[@OffroadNow]

I really think you're missing the point of everything I said and it seems like you are the one who is being very defensive. I made two very clear points in my comment and neither was that the eco-boost is a better car than the GT. My first point was that a lot of people just come into these comment sections wanting to trash on different cars and that's a waste of time. The second point was that, bang for buck, the eco-boost is an amazing deal. The bang for buck comment is specifically why I have an issue with your response claiming mod for mod the GT will always be superior. Yes, that is correct. However, you sound very confrontational saying that and that's like saying a mustang GT that is modded to beat a Ferrari Berlinetta should never be compared to that car because someone with a higher budget can buy the Ferrari and mod that to be faster. The entire point isn't that the GT or the Ferrari is better than the other, but just that it's amazing what you can do with a lesser car... again, bang for buck.

[@mustang43058]

***** You are completely wrong. 2011 to 14 5.0s with intake, full exhaust, throttle body, and tune made closer to 450rwhp not 380... The 11-14 5.0 made almost 380rwhp stock... Also that ecoboost with bama tune is not making 360rwhp. It is making around 290rwhp and 380rwtq.

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Hmmm....This car looks familiar somehow. haha. Great job!

[@americanmuscle]

ThatDudeinBlue I feel like you may have driven it? Maybe.. :). Thanks man! Hope all is well. Much more to come from this car! -Dan

[@supershark9k708]

Sweet I love this car because not only is it quick but you can still have some bad ass gas mileage.

[@americanmuscle]

Best of both worlds my friend! :) -Justin

[@lusitanovalente]

Amazing how so many people are into these cars. I own a gt500 and love a v8 and a blower... But these are cool in their own way !

[@americanmuscle]

utopia vanished I totally agree! While nothing will replace that V8 sound, there is something to be said for a small displacement 4-banger with a turbo embarrassing some V8's while getting good gas mileage at the same time. Thanks for watching! -Justin

[@Blonde_Cyborg]

Finally a test done that's done correctly. Stock with DR then with CAI and tune. Good job guys... and a tuning company that finally states they raised boost....

[@americanmuscle]

Thanks ccoghill23! We always try to be completely honest and fair when it comes to these 'Real World' test days. This way you know what to expect when grabbing a Bama tune for your Ecoboost powered 'Stang. We're not claiming astronomical numbers here, but rather realistic gains anyone can achieve through pump gas. Thanks again for watching! -Justin

[@btali1965]

Wow that's a great pass, certainly getting these Ecoboosts working better!! A turbo is such a great addition, can't wait till I can turbo my 4.0. If Ford wants to experiment more with the Ecoboost concept then the V6s will probably be on the way out unfortunately...until they decide to turbo them which would be amazing.

[@richardjackson7875]

This car is cool! Don't worry about the negative feedback. Someone is always going to be unhappy. Make sure you offer alot of parts for these cars!

[@joev3754]

Well my caddy CT’s-v ran a 12.5 without the air aid. And when I installed it I got at a 11.99 time. That makes the driver special also!

[@carforsale199]

great job! no BS, straight to the point. Keep up the hard work, SUBSCRIBED!

[@americanmuscle]

***** We appreciate the kind words man! Stay tuned for more. - Will

[@LIGHTNING351]

Keep up the good work guys.....I want to see the Ecoboost in the 11's

[@americanmuscle]

Thanks LIGHTNING351, Be sure to stay tuned because we're about to really start having some fun with these little Ecoboost cars! :) -Justin

[@SilentMovements305]

Nice can't wait to see they have in store with this new Ecoboost engine.

[@americanmuscle]

[@airspacelord1387]

You guys have are on it!!! Please do a test of the Ford racing offered ECU programmer when it becomes available!!

[@JavierCR25]

This is quite impressive. Under 13 secs is serious performance. Any data on 0-60?

[@tattude1974]

You guys salivating for the new Focus RS? I cannot wait to see your awesome tuners get a hold of that badboy! You guys have any plans yet?

[@TheDino117]

People make it sound like this car goes 80mph top speed. Tbh any car that goes over 120 is pretty fast imo, cause in reality when do u really need to go that fast? On the track? How many people actually go to a track. I cant wait to get this as my first car in november for my birthday its got style power and good gas mileage. Idgaf if its not a 5.0 it is identical in style and a little slower but im 17 i dont need a car with 400+hp.

[@aaronmonke6825]

your first car should be 2500$ trust me bro your gonna be bummed when you knick or bump into something in a new car, everyone does it when they first start driving, you just don't have experience or seat time to jump in a sports car you won't respect. having 170hp is a bit different then doubling your power numbers you're accustom too, I'm just saying little dude get a cheap V8 that's smogged down with low compression and small displacement and learn from there, get a feel for power that you can control not a car that exceeds your driving skill, I had a cheap sports cat as my first and I'm glad it was a 2500 dollar with a rung out flat tappet v6 cause I crashed and bumped into stuff. just some advise little dude, my brother didn't respect his lightning and rapped it around a tree he is 26... just saying food for thought

[@TheUniqueFreak94]

aaron monke TheDino117 Im 19 and have had a brand new 2016 Ecoboost for nearly 1 Year now, it's still in perfect condition, maybe you just can't drive

[@benno_360]

I think giving 17 year olds brand new nice cars robs them of the experience of trying to piece together hunks of shit and crashing them into each other at music festivals because you don't give a shit. I'm 29 now and still think even though we've got nicer cars now we were happier and having more fun back then. You can even get nicer cars in your mid 20's and still be young with a good car but at 17? Nah I wouldn't trade those memories for anything.

[@mr.boostang2064]

Benjamin Naismith So tru, had a 1999 mirage and 1994 3000gt when I was 18, so many good times in those cars.

[@Sinoops]

You should not buy a brand new car for your first car imo. Get a cheap car for the first 2-3 years of driving.

[@Chris1982416]

I'm so glad I didn't let the dealer sell me that eco boost. With the recalls. I'm going to hold out for the 5.0. But getting a 2015 5.0 is like getting Jordans or an iPhone 6 plus on release date.

[@unknownuser1987]

Impressive gains for such minimal work! I think this drivetrain could and should find its way into older Mustang SVO's as a popular swap candidate in place of the older and outdated Turbo 2.3 from the 1980's.

[@americanmuscle]

unknownuser1987 Good call! This little 4-Cylinder is no joke and we've been pretty impressed do far! -Dan

[@sixteenseven123]

These ecoboost's seem to respond really well to mods, can't wait to see what they can do with full bolt-on's

[@americanmuscle]

Well be sure to stay tuned and see, because that's the plan! :) -Justin

[@stayunique91]

Thats a good pick up. Can't wait to see what these cars do intake, down pipe, full exhaust, and tuned on E85. Turbo and direct injection FTW!!

[@americanmuscle]

stayunique91 You hit the nail on the head! We are just scratching the surface in this vid, so it will be exciting to see what future mods and a bigger turbo will do for this car in the future. We're definitely going to have fun with this thing so be sure to stay tuned! -Justin

[@TheKeysMan100]

AmericanMuscle.com Nothing short of incredible, of course your always going to have haters. This is just the beginning, I have a 2015 ecoboost and decided to buy exactly what you guys tested, Airraid intake and Tune from BamaPerformance. I can't wait to get it installed, and when they start producing more bolt on's, I can't wait to embarrass some V8 meat head. Then turn down the boost and drive to work for great MPG.

[@08turboSS]

Hey AM, if you picked up time, that means your car should run mid 14's. Picked up is also same as added. So in reality, proper word use is, (dropped nearly a full sec.), and get rid of the aftermarket CAI, they don't make the car any faster. I've tested 20+ cars with and without a upgraded CAI, and in fact, more often than not, the car that ran oem intake with just a simple drop-in filter, was faster. Also, taller wheels and a short side wall will make the car slower, as it takes more time for one full revolution and extends braking distance. Most of us also don't have 93 octane and on 91 octane the Eco-stang makes 300 hp, the 5.0 makes 425-427hp on 91...

[@vikingbase]

That's where they make there money... selling parts, not selling tuned

[@08turboSS]

Don't forget this was in 31 degree air, vs 61 degree air. Just the temperature difference is going to make the car faster by a few tenths, then, the Density Altitude was 1800' below sealevel. Folks, with a DA that low, it's equivelant to adding 20 hp to a car. It's why ATCO runs such non-real world times, because 75% don't live where we get cold air and super low DA like this, even in winter, and tracks are never open in winter in many places due to snow.

[@americanmuscle]

08turboSS you definitely have your facts straight about drag racing. Temperature, DA etc. all play a big factor. - Will Reply ·

[@fastguned]

AmericanMuscle.com DA plays a huge part here in the south, especaily for the 4 cylinders. I have a bone stock 2000 4cyl auto Tacoma that I run sometimes for the heck of it. No wheelspin whatsoever. During the summer at our local track the DA was around 3000 and my truck pulled some 17.50 1/4 and 11.55 1/8 Last Novemeber the Da was around 500 and she went high 16;s with 10,90's 1/8 which means a half second was gained mostly in the first eighth. It seems to me the slower the car the more DA affects it..because my buddies with 9 second race cars were only going about a tenth faster.

[@vitorhprocha]

Thats pretty damn nice for a 300ish hp car ... I want one so much ...

[@brucesmith8643]

What gears is in that car I went 12.9 on a 100 degree day with just an SSI tune nothing beside a tune on a 1.85 60 foot

[@AmBiVaLenNt]

What did u stage the car at? Meaning what was the rpm at when you launched. My car is getting Dynod this week. I have a intake, blowoff valve and resignator delete already and I ran 15.1 I'm getting it tuned this week. I hope I can run 12s

[@clintymouse]

Another great video. You all should get together with John Davis, from Motor Week and start a show that does nothing but do reviews on modern muscle cars and super cars.

[@americanmuscle]

Sign me up! :) -Justin

[@philippebrebion6203]

i bought an ecoboost thinkinh it would be mid, that i would get gapped by any entry sport car like genesis or shit like this, but i was really surprised, this shit it pulling hard, and the potential is insane, intercooler, intake, exhaust and you can get 100+ hp from a pd tuning, that's crazy

[@americanmuscle]

This is the correct take - people just love to hate a four-banger turbo. 😉 -Zach

[@Sigrafix]

I wonder how you guys at AM feel about the reliability of the 2.3 ecoboost especially when modded. Say you want to go full bolt ons with a tune which engine do you think would fair better? The 3.7 or the 2.3? From my understanding the DI 2.3 is already pushing close to 20lbs of boost stock, I mean I wonder how much more can you really push that engine before it starts giving you issues? That being said, I imagine your warranty goes out the window with a tune so it's not exactly an attractive option to mod an already stressed engine only to drastically reduce it's lifespan then have to pay out of pocket when it fails.

[@americanmuscle]

Sigrafix We're really enjoying the Ecoboost so far. Obviously the 3.7 Ecoboost is a better platform to start with. However, it's not offered in the 2015 Mustang at this time. So we're making the best of 2.3L and I have to say I'm pretty impressed! The motor doesn't seem stressed at all with the amount of power it's safely and reliably picking up!Stay tuned.. The Bama team is just getting started! -Dan

[@Sigrafix]

AmericanMuscle.com I meant the 3.7 V6 vs 2.3 Ecoboost, the V6 Ecoboost is a 3.5 I believe, hell if that were offered in the Mustang I think even die hard 5.0 fans would be hard pressed to pass it up. In any case, if you guys do run into some trouble with the 2.3, I hope you do discuss it publicly in a video or otherwise, I'm considering buying one early next year so I'm looking to see of any failures modded or unmodded, I'm a little concerned with that engines longevity at those power levels, I hope it's bulletproof.

[@JoshuaC0rbit]

Sigrafix It love my 3.7. I will always default to NA for reliability. Not to say a procharger isn't in my future but it's not my daily anymore.

[@87PowerMan]

I'm sorry, but you said 3.7 ecoboost?

[@Dansotherutubeacount]

Ford doesn't mess around with their turbo engines. A guy in my area has a focus ST and is running full stage 3 on 29psi and daily drives it and hes been doing this for like 6 months now. Its making somewhere in the high 300's to the wheels and its pretty quick. He hasn't had any reliability issues with it at all. This will be like any really built 4 cylinder turbo, once you start making 500+ hp it'll start to give you little problems but with just bolt ons i cant see it breaking like a DSM all the time.

[@tscooter22]

Very impressive performance boost. I'd like to see how one of these runs on a road course with a factory upgraded suspension. This being the first time I've seen the eco-boost Mustang, I know nothing about its option packages. I'll say this: Being a former GT owner ('82 and '87), this is a real eye opener.

[@americanmuscle]

tscooter22 I have to agree with you there! These are definitely no joke! - Will

[@Godzukidan]

I would like to see what a 2015 V6 with the same mods would do in the same temp and track conditions.

[@kubanskiloewe]

it is much easier to tune a turbo or suüercharged engine instead of a NA. Get a SC on a V6 or V8 and you have your tune. Things like CAI and exhaust and something brings only about 5%. A Turboengine can reach +20% only by chiptuning. I fear some GT drivers will suffer these easy and cheap tunes from the EB drivers. But the Stang is much to heavy anyway for a little 4 banger. Unfortunately next Camaro goes with the same 4T engine but hopefully the chassis will weigh 200pounds less,lol.

[@dustinhillard01]

Is there an e85 tune in the future? Would be interesting to see if there would be any gains since this is a turbo car!

[@Samsgarden]

Is this a Mustang channel?

[@DUNEATV]

Unreal!!

[@livefastGTCS]

Im Guessing It Was Really Cold there Thats Y THE Drag Radials AN Wow That 12.9 ' Was Close To My 2013 5.0 Times When It Was bone Stock and IN Better Weather With Stock 19s N Same mods ecoboost Probably Get THE Same Times CAN'T Wait To Get One

[@americanmuscle]

livefastGTCS These Ecoboosts are no joke! Stay tuned! The Bama Performance is not anywhere near finished with this one. - Will

[@Xainification]

I really am curious to see the difference between this and the new 10R80

[@SIgirlsRnoGood]

Nice gains , would this be available as a canned tune I can buy from you guys ?

[@americanmuscle]

Thanks and yes, this tune is available now! Give us a call and we'll hook you up! -Justin

[@MRACPDCarReviews]

Hey guys good job!

[@americanmuscle]

Thanks for the compliment MRACPD Alpha! And thanks for watching! -Justin

[@svo65]

how do you like the paddle shift auto? have you guys driven a 5.0 with the auto?

[@keilskiski5620]

Did the go pro just came right off at 1:42?

[@jefflucas_life]

okay do we get that tune file used the for 1/4 run by Bama. I'm a toss up between Bama and Unleash with SCTx4. Bama looks very impressive with just CAI airaid.

[@americanmuscle]

Hey Jeff, I have a ton of friends that have BAMA tunes and they run great. I have personally seen thee Unleashed tunes in action and the power it brought to the EcoBoost. Here is a link that you should definitely check out regarding Unleashed Tuning and an EcoBoost - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5-1d6qcr7-Boas . Personally, I would have no problem at all running both of these tunes, but at the end of the day I would have to go with Unleashed! Hope this helps. - Matt

[@jefflucas_life]

Matt - the chat mustang guru popped up and suggested Mr. Torrie R. McPhail - Owner ..Unleashed Tuning with SCT X4 Flash. My first intentions was BAMA because I saw the 12s 1/4 mile run stock. As the chat went on, forgot the guys name, I purchased your SCT X4 Flash with unleash link provided, free shipping was great. Working with Mr. Torrie R. McPhail, he was very patient with me finding ecoboost ecu strategy over the two days, he gave me 2 tries, so forth I loaded his tunes after reading the instructions needing 64bit driver for Windows 10...... Mr. McPhail tunes pull good up to 6800 RPMs that I can tell, my driving shift habits at 5300 RPMS, I don't need 6800 RPM realms, not driving a flat plane crank engine, its nice to know I can, unleash ROCKS!

[@AlinB1108]

Can you do the same comparison stock vs tune in a 0-60? Por favor!

[@tscooter22]

Oh...Subscribed. :-)

[@nsx99x]

can you explain to me why the time is reduced significantly but the trap speed barely changed?

[@JuanTorres-nx1cd]

Does the intake actually do anything? Because alot of people say that the stock intake is good and you should only change it if you swap the turbo for a bigger one, so you should get the same numbers with just the tune.

[@marcusgoad6777]

Keep stock air box drop in filter and airaid intake tube best way to go.

[@hswrestling97]

It's so weird not hearing a monstrous roar coming from a mustang lol

[@sb632]

This a track pack or non track pack? What's the final drive ratio?

[@W5rr2nG]

i wish somebody would do this with the focus ST D:

[@Carguylogan]

I knew a guy with a 2011 mustang V6 auto that I drove myself with intake only to a 14.4 @ 96 mph and then after loading his Bama tune 10 mins later I drove it to a 13.8 @ 103.8 mph. How was that intake and tune V6 from 2011 still out trapping an Ecoboost?

[@M4B21S88]

In stock form the EB can have a trap speed of 102 mph, typically with the manual. The EB with tune , intercooler and tire mod ($1800 worth of mods), is running 12.6 - 13.2 1/4 mi @ 104 - 110 mph depending on temps. The intercooler is very important on the EB, something that was not included on this vid, however, temps were already low. Intercooler shows improvement with the top end and trap speeds. The v6 will never run 12.6 - 13.2 with tune and tire mod only. Tune plus intake usually helps them run consistent 13.7 -13.8 sec @ 100 - 103 mph. The only benefit to the v6 is that it can sound good with a exhaust. That is all. Can it be FASTER than a EB and even a GT? sure as hell, but WAY more $$$$ to spend on it.

[@Bamavol89]

What do you think would be the better platform for building? I'm not talking anything insane or anything like that but a nice average build. the ecoboost 4cyl or the v6? The ecoboost starts out pushing 20lbs of boost so surely it can't take too much more than that even if you replace the turbo, which you would have to do soon because I believe that turbo is past its efficiency at around 22-23lbs of boost. I would think the v6 stang would still be the better platform due to having more engine to work with starting out. Wouldn't the v6 also be more reliable than the eco?

[@hesayad1055]

the eco is brand new while the 3.7 is anout 4-5 years old. if you're talking about a 4-500HP build, then the ecoboost is probably better because. 1.less weight. 2. comes stock with a turbo so it for sure can handle a little more turbo and responds better to simple tuning. 3. people are more likely to build up a ecoboost over the 3.7 so parts will flood in. the reliability is something only time will tell

[@Bamavol89]

With turbos though come added complexity and more things that can break.

[@hesayad1055]

Bamavol89 ya but you'll have to turbo the v6 (or S/C) it anyway because you're not making more than 400RWHP without boost.

[@Bamavol89]

but if you do turbo or sc it then you would have more power at lower boost and it would probably be more reliable. I just don't think the eco will be all that reliable after you start modding it but I suppose time will tell

[@hesayad1055]

Bamavol89 with just a tune and exhaust people have gotton 400+RWTQ and 325+hp. i think its easy to make power similar to a v8 with a cam, tune cai, and exhaust. it won't be hard to get 400RWHP out of it, and i believe it will be semi reliable

[@Ringoluck]

🤔 looks like it took all day to get it running right. One guy even yelled “Finally!” On the last run. I doubt getting 12’s was as easy as they try to make it seem

[@Starcraft2Sonic]

Hey AM. I bought a BAMA tuner for my V6 2011 Mustang a couple of years ago. I'm thinking of picking up a Ecoboost 2015 Mustang Fastback. If I mail the specifications, does BAMA provide free tune for the ecoboost motor? Regards from Denmark

[@americanmuscle]

+Sanket Matu Hey Sankey, BAMA Definitely tunes for teh Ecoboost but with a new car, you would need to buy back into the "Tunes for Life Program". Hope this helps! - Will

[@Starcraft2Sonic]

+AmericanMuscle.com Thanks for the reply Will. How much does it cost to buy back into the programme? :)

[@DSIMMS650]

hey I need help some one answer please. I have an ecoboost manual with no sports package. I want to tune my car to get it running 12's. but I live in California and nobody sells 93 octane. I guess its illegal here cause of emissions. I could get a 91 octane tune but will it be as fast as this?

[@americanmuscle]

+PEEZY650 91 Octane and a great tune to match will get you pretty close man! I say go for it! While you're at it, did you think of adding a few other mods also? - Will

[@DSIMMS650]

+AmericanMuscle.com yes. I plan on going full bolt on with a off the shelf 91 octane tune.

[@D.E.Metcalf]

I want to see Ford make a smaller mustang/ miata type of hybrid type of car and then drop this motor inside!

[@CaptinFancyPants]

How did you guys run 13.6 stock? Best I could do stock was in the 14s. And after a tune I'm Now running 13.5

[@carlosmiguel2238]

Drag radials and cold temperatures.

[@drakelamb8813]

Cool

[@Chris1982416]

I'm not a troll but I felt they sand bagged the stock run. Just an air intake and tune wouldn't make that big of a difference.

[@TallTimbersUSA]

With only an intake and a tune the 0-60 time for my 2008 Legacy GT dropped from 5.60 seconds to 4.87. Removing one of the stock cats and retuning again dropped it to 4.48. Tuning alone on a turbocharged vehicle can have a MASSIVE impact, speaking from experience.

[@Theeoj5]

Sure is a good car to play with, but the sound... Listened to Ford Racing, Roush, MAPerformance,MRTand Kooks exhaust available, they all sound like toys. May be a blowoff valve would help the cool factor.

[@quentinanderson12]

whats the fastest eco boost mustang in the 1/4 mile anybody saw?

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

Mine with no traction goes 12.7 @ 116

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

how much is a tune for a 12 second quarter mile ?

[@americanmuscle]

+09victoryrc Hey man! There are a ton of variables that go into your 1/4 mile time from the car to the mods, to the track and even to the tires! What kind of car are we working with here? - Will

[@arlexmartinez8203]

I still think that ford should of put their other eco boost v6 in the mustang instead of the 4 cyclinder

[@americanmuscle]

ARLEX MARTINEZ Good point but It looks as if they were saving that for the Ford GT! Did you see that beast yet? - Will

[@arlexmartinez8203]

Yes looks good but the mustang needs a true high power V6 for redemption n honestly if i could afford it i would replace my 2010 v6 engine for the eco boost V6 engine in the tourus

[@Sweetrayz]

do they have tunes for 2016?

[@americanmuscle]

Yes they do! For $149.99 BAMA can offer you FREE tones for life. Its amazing deal and they write some pretty awesome tunes, that will definitely increase your Mustangs performance depending on what you are trying to do! Are you looking to tune your Mustang anytime soon?? - Matt

[@Sweetrayz]

+AmericanMuscle.com sure do.Ill probably get that with a cold air intake.

[@RedBarron009]

103MPH Trap speed is pretty low for a 12.9. Must be falling off a lot up top.

[@MJC-GSXS750]

Don't get a Bama performance tuner, get a Cobb Accessport #thumbsUP

[@Smasher-Devourer]

I'd be interested in an ecoboost if they came in all wheel drive. A 4 cylinder I can't drive all year round is pointless.

[@americanmuscle]

An AWD option would certainly be nice! Not too sure if that would ever happen though... Normally Mustangs have always been rear-wheel drive. -Zach

[@livefastGTCS]

What was the temp

[@MultiTerpen]

Thats a slow reaction!!! 1.70?! Who are driving that?!

[@NismoFinder]

He was building boost for the launch to get the best possible time so the slow reaction was on purpose...you don't always have to leave right when the tree turns green you know ;)

[@MultiTerpen]

***** the reaction ads on to the run... So yeah... and he need to build boost before the green light!

[@ImSpruic]

MultiTerpen the timer starts when he crosses the starting point not when the light turns green

[@MultiTerpen]

ImSpruic then this is only to test the 1/4 mile time... This is not a real drag race then..

[@americanmuscle]

MultiTerpen That was the whole purpose of the vid brother- to test times. Don't know if you noticed, but there was nobody in the other lane. ;) -Justin

[@Lukos0036]

Really the car is to heavy for a 4cyl. If it were about 300 to 500 pounds lighter it would walk all over the hot hatches and BRZs it will inevitably be paired off with but at it's current weight, I think it really needs a 6cyl duel turbo or a v8. It takes a pretty tiny light car to pull off a 4cyl well. It's a good power plant but not I think for the Mustang.

[@americanmuscle]

Lukos0036 You do bring up some valid points but with some modding and some tuning these things are pretty darn quick! - Will

[@Lukos0036]

AmericanMuscle.com Maybe some carbon fiber body panels and removing some of the interior would help with the weight? I don't know how much could be done there.

[@airspacelord1387]

Lukos0036 It's honestly not that heavy. It's about the same as an Audi A5, BMW 4, Honda Accord coupe, ect ect and these come with a 4cyl. 30+ mpg from a 4cyl running 12's is a tall order and it was filled by ford. *the BMW and Audi could get there but at this point you've already paid upwards of 10k more

[@Lukos0036]

Victor Andrews Motor Trend doesn't seem to be a fan of the Mustang, citing it's weight and lack of pickup in the Ecoboost trim. And spongey suspension versus the Camaro in it's GT trim. Though I understand they tend to be very badge whorey. If that makes sense. I think it can be made better. But the after market will have to pick up the slack as usual.

[@airspacelord1387]

Lukos0036 Agreed, an RS model for the Eco boost could be the answer.

[@gminuete]

dat hunch ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@rcfred_689]

Why do the ads appear in the middle of the screen - really annoying.

[@Alxm225]

Still faster than a honda >:)

[@Jegt500]

JLP ' S is quicker with the stock air box and stock tire

[@kingkai420]

does this car have a pp

[@MultiTerpen]

Nah! V8 FTW

[@americanmuscle]

MultiTerpen This little 4-Cylinder with a Tune makes more power than all previous year GT's besides the 2011+. Pretty impressive!

[@MultiTerpen]

AmericanMuscle.com dayum! You seen the 2015 rtr spec 2 mustang? That car is sick!

[@CCPJerBear]

AmericanMuscle.com Wish that 2.3 crate motor wasn't so expensive, I'd love to drop it in my 84. Though, I'm guessing in the long run for price vs performance it'll be around the same for what my current motor has cost.

[@Bilf56]

This is so cap…

[@youknowthebacon]

To slow and quiet for a mustang. Dont like the 4cyl.

[@OffroadNow]

I agree... it's definitely a slow car when it can beat a stock GT (which has more than double the displacement) on just a tune and intake. Also, If only there was aftermarket exhaust you could put on a car to make it louder. A real shame. -end sarcasm-

[@americanmuscle]

raging.carnag 3 You do realize this car will pretty much decimate any GT, pre-2011 right? I agree that the car is too quiet but credit where credit is due- these little ecoboost mustangs are going to embarrass A LOT of 'big bad V8's' at red-lights all across America. Thanks for watching. -Justin

[@jinshin85]

I stopped at "to" Get real. This is fast.

[@CCPJerBear]

Never heard of an SVO, huh?

[@MindSetPhoto]

AmericanMuscle.com Thanks Justin for making my 06 GT feel inadequate...lol

[@SIRICKO]

Drag strip not a fucking track !!!!!!!!!

[@americanmuscle]

Really? I know you've said this before and I'll give you the same answer- 'Track' is an all-encompassing term here. If my car buddies call me up and say "Hey man we're heading to the track tonight" that means one thing and one thing only- they're going to the strip. To me it'd be more awkward if they called and were like "Hey bro want to go to the drag strip tonight?" Its like the equivalent of my parents calling KZbin, "The KZbin". :) -Justin

[@SIRICKO]

AmericanMuscle.com lol chill i'm just fucking with yo but statement still stands.

[@fun40sxx]

60ft?

[@americanmuscle]

I believe it was in the 1.6x range? I'll have to find that slip and let you know for sure. -Justin
