NEW 2020 Ford Mustang High Performance Turbo | Old V8 KILLER?!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Does this new High Performance Pkg take the place of the old V8s? To me...I just feel like something's missing without a V8 under the hood in the Mustang. This car is still fun, no doubt about that! *Thank you for watching and have a great day!*

[@ST_DCT]

The HPP has over 100 hp over my 1990 5.0 which was a blast to drive, this car is a modern SVO which I also owned, all said a fun car overall

[@bramcurtis6900]

This is the mustang I would want and purchase. Caroll Shelby himself said you cant really use more than 300 HP in a street car. And this car weighs 200 lbs less that the V8...all of it off the front axle. At 4.5 sec. to 60 mph you are beating 95% of the cars you will encounter on a daily basis. And with the magnaride suspension it is 8 GRAND cheaper that the GT. This is the mustang I would pick as a daily driver. And on an aurtocross course you're probably beating the GT because of the lighter weight and better weight distribution.

[@michaelreitz6838]

I just bought one of these a month ago. It was stickered at $35K which is the same price as a base model GT but I got rebates and ended up paying $31K. And yes on a road course it is faster than a GT or at least a 2015 Mustang GT. It has a better lap time on the Lightning Lap at VIR than a 2015 GT.

I’m Glad you got to have a really enjoy this one. imagine 330 HP from a 4cyl. When the HEMI V8 returned in the Dodge Rams and the Chrysler 300 it produced 340HP and everyone was going nuts to own one.

No kidding. It’s crazy what they’re pushing out if small engines. And to think this is faster than V8s from now long ago

Did it. LOVE it. I would love for you to ask more questions and do more performance side review. I'm older and did a LOT of research before I leaped. Awesome review sir. I even owned an older 2.3 Turbo Stang in the 80's and this is literally my 7th.

[@zrx4me1]

I just traded my 2018 GT for one. I got the handling pack included and the car is amazing. Drive one before you form an opinion.

[@M4B21S88]

Remember to pump 93 octane. What made you trade in from a GT to a EB HPP? I drive a ‘16 EB and LOVE the low end torque... more usable power...

[@zrx4me1]

@@M4B21S88 loved the GT, but wanted something a little more different. Handling pack sealed the deal. Had a 2016 eco PP and loved it also.

[@QuinnLIFTS]

I own a 2016 Mustang EcoBoost with upgraded intercooler, cobb drop-in filter, ngk step colder plugs, BOV, Borla Atak exhaust, Cobb Accessport V3 with custom 93octane pro-tune via Purple Drank Tuning. We are about to start tuning for e30 and gain more power but it's already a 12 sec capable car and maybe 11s on ethanol! It really is a beast with how light it is up front and is about as fun to drive as my N/A modified 93 Foxbody Coupe with 4.10 gears and built AOD auto trans. Two different beasts but both bring me plenty smiles per gallon!

[@onlineslacker101]

I own this exact model in black. It’s a super fun car, and I can confirm it does smoke the 2009/2010 GTs and late model Dodge Charger Daytona. Concerning the price though, it is actually $8K-$10K more for the GT premium with performance pack. The GT premium does not have the wide tires, performance brakes, suspension upgrades that this little HPP Eco has. Given these suspension considerations this eco HPP is really a lot less, and stays on the road better than a GT premium (non-performance pack). Great video though!

[@blueeyedboy7648]

This is the uk mustang all day we love em!

[@Corvus92]

I have this exact model, same color, and I love it. It is worth it. Sure it's not as loud as the GT, but honestly...that's fine. It's loud enough that I still have to make it quieter in the morning when i go to work. And gas? Great for road trips, and for daily commute.

[@ryanrodrigues32001]

How different is it on mpg compared to the normal ecoboost?

[@tim3172]

BTW a spare wheel and tire (donut) are available from Ford for $405. That set is available elsewhere for a bit less than $300 elsewhere. If you're watching this and thinking of getting a manual version you should check out the lawsuit Ford is under for the Getrag manual transmissions from 2011 to 2019 Mustangs. (I will mention the lawsuit does not cover 2020 Mustangs but Ford does not mention any changes between 2019 and 2020 manual transmissions, listing the same MT82-D4 from 2018-2020. Both the MT82-D4 and earlier MT82 were covered under the lawsuit).

[@michaelreitz6838]

I just bought a 2020 EcoBoost HPP a month ago for $31K. It was listed for $35K. So you can get them cheaper than the $41K that your's cost. And great job on the review overall. I've watched quite a few and many of the people that reviewed these cars don't know what they're talking about while you on the other hand were accurate with your info. Great job!!

[@zrandy]

Nice review. I was on the fence about the green color, but seeing it here I like it. Also beautiful roads and scenery.

[@Lalo3g1]

Rather have the speed I need with the gas savings than a v8 gas guzzler that goes slightly faster and sounds different tbh

Mustang is the best sports car and thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻👏👏💯💯🔔🔔

[@subterfusion4005]

Ive owned a 2015 Ecoboost and a 2018 GT, both auto Performance Packs. The sound on the GT is worth whatever extra you have to pay, but the ecoboost is just a half step behind and is the best choice if you daily drive it. For 90% of driving, all you lack in the ecoboost is that incredible GT exhaust note. For the other 10%, you better be on the track.

[@MRAMX390]

I went from a 2021 California Special that I loved but gas mileage was terrible on my 70 mile round trip commute to and from work to a 2021 HPP with handling package, love it. The only thing I don't like is the exhaust sound but everything else is great, especially for a daily driver. I have owned 22 Mustangs and this one is the most practical for daily driving.

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

Mustang sounds fun.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

It sure is!

[@BrayZap]

just this week got my 2019 Need for Green fully loaded with B&O sound system, recaro seats, performance package, premium with digital dash, and active exhaust and best purchase ive ever made, wouldnt want anything else as a fun car to drive daily. V8 people buy it just so they can say they have a v8, i test drove both and you cant even use half the power the ecoboost has, having a GT is pointless unless you live at the track on weekends which 9 out of 10 people i know with them dont even do

[@DnRprodxIL]

TBH it's 2020 and that sound is what's in. I think that it slaps and the ecoboost reviews sold me on it over the GT. Every review with the HPP the driver always seems surprised by the speed and efficiency.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

It definitely surprised me! Very fun car and it’s exhilarating to drive 👍

[@4touchdowns1game29]

Not to mention it seriously doesn't even drive like the same car with a few mods. Mine is full catless, muffler, intake, plugs, intercooler, Cobb accesport with a PD tune and makes around 430 hp. Also wanted to add that being full catless with a blow off valve, intake and tune make this thing sound like a whole different car.

[@4touchdowns1game29]

Also if you plan on modding it stay away from the high performance package. as cool as magneride is aftermarket traditional coils work way better, the slightly bigger turbo doesn't matter because the stock turbo can push the block to the limit anyways, the extra cost for the brakes don't matter because on the EcoBoost the high performance package doesn't give you the brembos, with some different pads and brake fluid the base EcoBoost brakes honestly work just as good.

[@whatswrong598]

[@ST_DCT]

@@4touchdowns1game29 I like the option of the internals from the RS, I haven't upgraded the tune & Turbo yet, but I'll be happy around the 500hp goal soon

I put a Roush cold air intake on mine and it definitely doesn’t sound like your video.

[@mrbestpractice1767]

Would you say the roush cold air intake was worth it? Did it just increase sound or do you feel it adds power and torque? Ford said it would add hp but other have said it wouldn’t

[@kevinmichaelsnyder9725]

@@mrbestpractice1767 it was definitely worth it. I haven’t run it on the Dyno but my best guess is a gain of 18 hp plus or minus. Lb ft of torque up to about 365.

[@M4B21S88]

I mean, I drive a ‘16 EB, always pump 93 octane (key factor here) , and all 2010 or older GT ive either beat or kept up with , so Id think this HPP will beat them for sure. The only 2008 GT that beat me had 4.10 gears (i think) , tune , and maybe headers... so it wasnt stock vs stock lol

[@ST_DCT]

You may have been able to get a stripped GT premium at the time this was recorded for 41K, but when you start checking boxes on the build sheet it will go closer to 55K-60K, these cars sans options are decent, but nowhere NEAR as nice as they can and should be. Ford is smart to do this of course, "Should I option this HPP or go for the GT, Should I option the GT or just go for the Mach1?" and so on. Bottom line is if you go option for option, the fully optioned EcoBoost will give you room to modify up to the performance of a GT for less money than an fully optioned GT. Same top speed, same body and interior, different power plant. It all comes down to 'sound' and 15K to get that sound. Is it worth it? That's a personal decision. I've always weighed the 'bang for the buck' with my Mustangs, (my HPP EcoBoost is my 7th) the HPP EcoBoost checks more boxes than it doesn't. Just my opinion.

[@apophis9077]

The 2.3 Hp is the best of the mustang line up! Must drive one to experience a all in one gem.

[@USNVA-yn6cp]

these are cool cars my coworker has one and we ran neck and neck 0 to 75mph his auto 4cyl against my stock 2019 jetta 4 cyl with 6 speed, manual we ran twice and it was dead even! I killed him on gas mpgs 42 mph at highway speeds. I think he was getting 34 at best

The led light on the side mirrors are cool along with the mustang logo and horse that lights up from the doo, and the digital speedometer. Those are just minor upgrades though. As far as a bit more horsepower then the 2018 and older ones I don’t see too much more improvements. The 4 banger stang still holds it’s owns though.

[@joshuaghost4402]

The only thing I can't stand about the premium package is the instrument cluster. The all digital cluster reminds me of this old super Nintendo game called top gear. The digital cluster just looks cheap. Other then that I like the ecoboost 2.3l I have a 2021 with the analog Gauge set. I also have a 2016 GT 5.0l V8 with the 6 speed manual transmission and the stage 2 Roush super charger kit. I'm sure the Automatic ecoboost will beat my manual in the first few gears but once I'm out of second gear I know my Roush mustang will win out. With that being said I love both cars.

It's not really anything Ford seriously planned. Some Engineers got board and found a old Focus RS engine, fixed the oil problem, and slapped it into a Mustang. The point of using small turbo engines is to get similar power to big NA engines with better gas mileage. Slapping a twin-turbo kit on a 5.0 would be the exact opposite lol. Would be hella fast though.
