Default 2.5 EcoBoost Turbo Coming..

Just saw this at AM.com

I like the new design, but cant see myself with a mustang with a
2.5L... Although its has a TURBO pushing 300hp... and a lighter body..

Maybe ill start saving my money for a Possible down payment and trade in 2014..

ahh Id actually rather have a 03-04 Cobra..

I'd get the 2014. At that time the termi's will be 10 years old.

And, turbo cars are always fun. If its 300hp, it'll have more torque, and RWD that car will be a blast. Also, turbo cars are easy to upgrade and get some big numbers out of simple mods.

and the V8 is going to be a 5.4L 500hp the design still looks very Euro, but we all know that it won't be that way for production

It'll be totally different, but most people get the car for the powerplant.

I'm happy with my 3v, don't see any need to change at this point.

Nope.com - if I wanted a Camaro I would buy a Camaro from Chevy. Not a Camaro with Mustang badges made by Ford. Numbers a impressive for a 4cyl but the new 6er has 300 HP and get 30MPG...why mess with a GREAT thing??

They will probably mess with it to get better MPG's?

and, coming from driving a turbo'ed 4cyl, I think id be great to have a turbo-ed mustang. Also the aftermarket would be considerably better looking at how well FI cars from the factory respond to boost.
