No more Performance pack and Magnaride on Ecoboost 2024. WHY?

[Mustang1987]

Sorry, I guess the dark horse really is a dud. Should run the same as the GT without the gurney flap though

I accept your apology.

You're still a good for thinking the EB is only 2-3 seconds slower to 100

In all honesty I do like EcoBoost Mustangs also...when I was just starting out I would have totally rocked one but I was pretty dang broke lol

Even though I have a GT, those Ecoboosts are quick

That's the American way of thinking.

I'm talking about the European way.
It makes no sense to remove the Ecoboost from the European market. Most of the countries in Europe are going smaller in engine sizes because of all the emission crap. That's when the Ecoboost came in to help the emission nonsense.

And no one bought them. In most Europeans minds, and I’ve spoken to many of them, the Mustang means American horsepower and that means a V8.

Not as many as you might think. I say this as a past owner of a ’15 EB. There have been some but there were many good reasons to buy the four banger. Except the sound, of course.

Gas mileage gas entered the chat lol I love my GT but with PP I'm averaging 11-13 mpg city... it stings! Renting an Ecoboost got me started on my Mustang journey and there are days I wish I had bought the Ecoboost over the GT. Besides the gas mileage, I miss the "sportiness" the lighter weight Ecoboost has over the GT, but that V8 AVE sound can't be beat! I do wish the GT had more low end torque. By the time it really ramps up I'm going 80+, not conducive anywhere but a track or a quick stretch of highway

When I bought my ‘15 EB I had a 75 mile daily commute. Getting 30+ MPG was definitely a factor in buying it.

I am curious about age/gender with the trim of mustang you bought to see if there is any correlation on it.

Of course your financial situation will do a lot on that choice

At one point I was driving 200 miles a week in the GT for work. Some weeks that was one tank of gas. Others, like now, it tells me I'm getting 150 miles until empty.... with a full tank. And I don't drive that aggressive. I've seen others with better gas mileage stats but mine is pretty awful lately. Maybe due to winter blend of fuel idk

Who cares.

The only person that you have to justify what you buy is you. Our daughter is very happy with her Ecoboost Convertible. I personally wouldn't own one, but I am not her. My bet is that most Ecoboost convertibles are driven by females.

I should have said first recognized muscle car. There were others like the 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 and the 1955 Chrysler C-300. And then, as you so correctly stated, the 1957 Rambler Rebel.

Be a Gambler,
Drive a Rambler!
