It's pretty sad that Ford have to introduce a fake sound to supplement the 4 cylinder's exhaust note. A tuner in the US has cracked the ECU and isolated this sound...

My dad had a 240Z when we were kids. Chocolate brown! Dad was a wool broker, and regularly travelled around VIC and Southern NSW. I recall my brother and I joining him for a week in school holidays. Even as a 9 year old, the back seat was so tiny we were totally cramped and had to make dad stop every 30 mins so we could stretch!

But jeez it was cool!

Back to Mustangs...

I was following a wrx home last night, with all the mandatory trick stuff attached, and was actually quite impressed with the engine note. Not a V8, no, but nice none-the-less.

So I am sure you could get the 4-cyl 'Stang to sound half decent still.

I have introduced myself mate! Look in the Absolute Pace Group!

So let me get this right, the 2015 xr8 falcon has the boss 5.4 supercharged at 335kw std, and the coming 2015 mustang has the 5.0 coyote naturally aspirated at 335kw std, thats what ive read.

tomcat racing · #46 (**permalink**) 10-18-2014, 03:41 AM

AND this ecoboost 4cyc mustang does the qtr in 13.8, sounds impressive.

richardferguson · #47 (**permalink**) 10-18-2014, 04:13 AM

No.
The XR8 will have the 5.0L V8.

Update, sorry, it is the coyote Boss 5.0 supercharged in the xr8, just went back and reread the email, my mistake i didnt know they are calling the coyote a boss motor, so the mustang will have almost the same power with no supercharger.

Xr8 falcon 5.0 supercharged 335kw
mustang 5.0 naturally aspirated 325kw.
The falcon must be detuned or that is a pissweak supercharger.

Don't forget the NA donk is only 5.0 Tom, that's some pretty tidy numbers for a factory 5l street donk.

436HP or 1.43HP per inch. I'm guessing the Falcon would have a far better torque curve.

I'm thinking that engine would be killer in the lighter focus.

Yeah, when the time comes I will be driving the V8 Stang and the RS Focus before I commit to either one of them. The joys of having a close mate that owns a couple of Ford dealerships is that I get to have them for a weekend each to help make my mind up!

Won't be for a while though, I have a Pace Cobra to build first

and a wife that keeps spending my(our) money on holidays and house renovations!!!!!!

A mate of mine has a new black on black v8 mustang on order. Will be in one of the first shipments. Looking forward to checking it out.

Cheers

Yeah Im working on my order...so hot n cold.....a Salesmans nightmare

So you know I organised a morning with a friendly Ford dealer in Vegas a couple of weeks back and took the EccoBoost and the GT for a spin. I reckon the 4cyl turbo will sell pretty well! In fact the missus is very interested.

I reckon I saw one of these 'Stangs (mostly 4cyl version or the 6cyl they also have) every 10 minutes while I was in Miami. Seriously! I hope they don't become that common here . Anyway, the finish and features, ride and comfort where outstanding (unless your over 4ft tall and sitting int he back of the hardtop).

I love the look of them, but I think unless you sign up you will be waiting....
Saw an article few months back saying they had already 2000+ firm orders.
Approx 45k for the turbo
Approx 55k for the V8
Great pricing.....if you can get one....

albanycobra · #56 (**permalink**) 06-30-2015, 03:39 PM

I guess like always there will be a few used cars available when all the hype wears off. I will go sit in one first, my aim was / is to have GT40, Alloy Cobra and 67 Mustang sitting in the garden shed. But the new Stang being released in Oz ruined that

A friend went into the Ford dealers last week to buy an Everest however , he walked out the door with a Mustang GT on order. He won't get it until August 2016!
