Arrow 2014 GT premium or 2015 Ecoboost premium ???? What would you do and why?????

Ok guys went out to the dealer today and they have a silver GT premium 2014 with a nice set up stick is about 41,700 they said they can do 33,400.

Or

That dealer said if I come in and order a 2015 and put down a deposit they will sell it to me $20o over invoice.

Looking at the ecoboost with premium package and Nav and all package like the 2014 I would think my price would be a worst the same most likely lower on the 2015.


So what would you guys do any why?

2014 GT Premium or. ecoboost Premium??????

I'm partial to the styling on the 2014, so 99 times out of 100 I would go with the 2014. Then there's the fact that you got a big mean 5.0L V8 bellowing out 420 ponies. So if I hadn't made it clear enough, I vote for the 2014 GT.

I'm leaning towards the ecoboost for my next one, but not until they've been abused by the performance companies to see if they'll break or not.

Well it would depend on what I was looking for. If I was looking purely performance, it's hard to pass up that new suspension over these other more clunky maneuvering vehicles. But if I'm after what we all think of as American muscle, that deep throaty sound of the V8, then maybe the '14. I have one of those V8s so maybe now I would take that Eccoboost. Not much help is it?

Ecoboost would be a better balanced car (fr/rr weight distribution), it would be very easy to gain a ton of power with just a tune.

It would never sound like a V8. It will most likely take high reving to get it to peak HP and TQ. (stress on the motor).

It all depends on how your going to use the car. Drag race a lot? Get the 14 solid axle V8. Road race or spirited driving? The 15 suspension will probably be the way to go. Daily driver? I'm betting the farm the ecoboost will get better gas milage. If you plan a lot of mods the V8 will come out on top as far as HP & Trq.

Until I personally see one, I am really turned off by the 2015 ecoboost.

Also, the 2015 body hasn't grown on me yet. So if I was in your shoes, I'd get a 13/14 GT if its in your budget. Or even step down a few years and find a Shelby.
