@@dac232009 if you were president not enough people would agree so it just wouldn’t happen. Jacked up trucks are equally useless for highways, they don’t control well at high speeds and the tires are louder than the exhaust. Plus there’s the gas mileage but we aren’t worrying about that.

Exhaust noise could be beautiful if theyd add one cylinder and make it an inline 5 . Would also make a great replacement for the loss of the v6 .

I wonder if anyones ever tried swapping the v6 ecoboost from the trucks into one of these? It's the same displacement as the one thats in the GT, so I wonder if you built the internals if it would reach the same power without falling apart.

But I've seen GT mustangs with the V8s for the same price or less than the newer V6 and 4 cylinder ones. Plus a gt can still get 20+ mpg if driven carefully. We need more V8s out there.

I always liked the feel and balance of those Foxbody T-birds, and they had a nice basic shape you could make look cool, I thought: I drove a friend's very humdrum V6-auto-with-annoying digital dash quite a bit for a while, but thought it had nice qualities as a platform. Always have kinda had an eye out for one of those with a stick or V8 or the Turbo Coupe stuff. :)

I put the 85.5 svo motor and trans in my 83 Ford ranger with a 98 explorer 8.8 rear with 4:11 gears and disk brakes I pray I can afford to do another sometime soon I wouldn't mind doing the same with one of the new motors.

Yup, that's why I ended up going with the Ecoboost because I need it for daily driving. GTs are awesome but it's a good weekend car to drive for fun. I needed a car for my 30 minute commute to work as well as for fun. I think the Ecoboost is great for work and for play whereas the GT is great for play. Not only was the Ecoboost more fuel efficient, but it was cheaper at $28,000 compared to the GTs at $36,000 - $40,000 and higher which puts the monthly payments at like half my rent (which is also ridiculously high) I live at my means and don't get myself into things I can't afford.

You'd be getting the much more reliable motor as well. Coyotes stretch thier legs at 600whp. With fuel mods and e85 stock motor can sprint well past 700-800whp. Some have recorded 1000whp stock motor.

I agree. Now that the 5.0s have been out for some time. There's plenty available for reasonable prices.

yea if you like low down torque its a good amount of fun. And its lighter than the GT

You're correct. I have a 2020 Mustang Ecoboost and had to have a head gasket replacement at 18,000 miles. Thankfully my warranty covered it, but now I'm seriously considering trading it.

@@Kev27RS why do you have to get a foreign car if you get a 4 cylinder? You saying American manufacturers can't make cool 4 banger cars with potential that are very reliable and fun?

It's a very fun car that corners like it's on rails and I can average 22-26 mpg on e30 despite making 100 hp more than stock and being on ethanol mix (e30 gets about 2 to 3 mpg less on average than straight 93 does). The st twins are very fun cars especially the fiesta and the rs is a good car too. The svt focus was a great car back in the day too. The srt4 neon and the cobalt ss both are fun cars lots of bang for the buck. Americans can make cool 4 bangers too man don't believe the "it's gotta be foreign made to be good if it's a 4 cylinder of 6 cylinder" line of crap lol. 110k miles been tuned since 2800 miles, e30 since 40k and my current fbo x37 hybrid turbo e30 tuned setup since 50k. Still on original clutch too because I can actually drive. Very reliable car I'd drive across the country in it without batting an eye. The 1.6 eb can do up to 400 or so rwhp on stock bottom end. That is stout for a 1.6. In a 2600 lbs car that will haul ass. My 280 is quick enough to keep up decent with stockish to light modded 5.0s on take off and in the twisties it could easily hang with 5.0s. They're super fun. If you've never driven a nicely modded one with at least upper 200s to the wheels on power you really should. You would be shocked how fun it is.

@@midnight347 Hey, don't get me wrong, a "European" Ford like a Focus, Fiesta, Escort, Sierra, etc. are cool as well!

SVO👍

It's a good daily if you don't mind a 2 door sports car for a daily. I prefer my 16 fiesta st, fbo x37 turbo it is 2600 lbs does 280 hp and torque to the wheels. It's quick enough to keep up with stockish 5.0s and it handles like it's on rails and I average 22-26 mpg and I'm not shy with the throttle at all plus I'm on e30 which uses about 2-3mpg more on average vs straight 93 so for my power level and fuel and the fact I love to play around in it getting on the throttle alot listening to it I feel that is very good. I paid 21k for it brand new with 1200 bucks in options and I have about 4k into it mod wise far as hp mods. It's pretty good bang for the buck and the fun factor is off the charts. The ecoboost 1.6 is one of the best eb they make reliability wise. And the size of the fiesta st allows you to fit it easier into more places and the small doors make getting out next to other cars a breeze. I always say it's the perfect daily for a gearhead. It has decent room to be as small of a car as it is. If you need something larger the focus st makes a good choice for similar money. A loaded focus st will go for more. All the ecoboost engines are cool. Much better and more potential than the crappy base engines we used to get in cars not that long ago.

More likely to blow up. Lower revving. Don't handle as much power. Sounds like a solid choice.

You can really feel the weight difference in the nose. And that Coyote motor really feels like it was shoehorned in there by comparison. But the V8 rumble will put a smile on your face and it takes the twistys pretty well. Oil changes though... that Coyote takes 10 quarts of oil. That was something I didnt realize, so oil changes can be expensive.

The sound it makes and the power they have and the power potential will more than make up for a little more weight on the nose. Matter of fact people really overexxagerate how much difference that makes on a typical street car. Does it make a difference sure it does I'm not claiming otherwise but it's not gonna make the car suddenly crappy handling or something because of a little more weight on the nose. They revise the suspension to account for it somewhat so it's not gonna be a huge huge difference. What will be a huge difference is the power stock for stock and mod for mod. The potential is just so far ahead its not even funny. More than worth having a little more weight on the nose.

@@midnight347 I agree it is much more worth it, just practically the price difference is quite a lot. Didnt think so until I got older and became the owner of my ecoboost instead of my dad (graduation gift for when I left home). Now that I pay for stuff ive realized how much of a difference the GT makes in both your loan amount, downpayment, taxes, everything. Just qualifying. This is the main reason I really never wanted to hate on the ecoboost aside from owning one myself. My goal is to mod it properly to feel even better than the ecoboost.

I had an ecoboost with the 10 speed. I liked it.

Except you can hit 650whp on a stock sealed cyclone. And the weight difference between the 3.7 and 2.3 negligible. And you can still rev the cyclone out to 7000rpms while making that power.

I'd much rather have a 4cyl sound and power than any ev offering that's for sure. I'm a V8 man myself. The sound of a high compression big cammed V8 is almost better than sex (almost) but, I'll still give credit where it's due and the Ecoboost 4cyl is a good engine, as is the 3.7 v6. And I was talking about weight between the coyote and the Ecoboost. 100lbs is a tenth off the 1/4 (usually). I don't disagree with any of you. V8 is much better. But, I wouldn't mind a warmed up Ecoboost for a daily at all. They will all be electric in the next 10 years anyway and we won't be allowed to modify our cars anymore so it won't matter much

@@DOHCCordia cyclone is very underrated but 650 rwhp on stock bottom end is really pushing it. 600 or so on e85 is at the tippy top of what they can really do. 650 on that is like 1000 for a gen 2 and 3 coyote. It may do it for a bit but that isn't considered a "reliable" power level for a stock bottom end.

There is nothing economical about it. I can get 32 mpg in my 2013 GT to work on the Highway. lol

The 3.5 V6 for sure.

that's not really the 2.3 Ecoboost's fault. When the original SVO Mustang came out it offered more power than the 302 of the age was producing and was lighter. The 2.3 Ecoboost of today would absolutely trounce the 80's 302. The Coyote is simply a world class engine out classes the 2.3 in just about every way possible other than mpg's and weight.

@@Steve-yr5vi I agree, and I understand that the SVO was definitely a product of its time when the 302 was heavily choked down because of emissions regulations and desperation to achieve CAFE ratings. I'm just saying, it would be neat to have seen a more modern equivalent to it, but without going to Mercedes-AMG level bonkers engineering I don't know that it would have been possible to achieve something that would compete with a Coyote out of the box.
