So after 21 months of turbocharged 4 pot 'its not a real one' Mustang ownership I decided to try the full fat option :D

Great time of year to buy a powerful rear wheel drive m8.
Very nice, love the colour
Ecos were £28k, GTs were £35k then Brexit 'happened', the pound went to shit which pushed the Eco up to £32k and the GT around £38k. The facelift came out with added safety features, more power, better tyres, more toys and the price was £38k for the Eco and £45k for the GT. These are base prices, once you spec them up its about £42k and £48k. Bulliet is around £52kQuote:

And which one did you get? The flat plane or cross plane V8?

About 460 ponies, 420 torques i believe. Enough to wipe out every bystander when leaving a meet!!Quote:

The important question is: Does it do great skidz?
I’ve got a supercharger if you want it

Nice choice. My manager has a black convertible and a white coupe. Both have the right engine but wrong gearbox (they are auto's Booo!). And I have taken both out for a spin. That V8 howl can be a touch addictive!

It is a really nice colour. Only one better colour mind but then we would have accused you of trying to be Nicholas Cage and who wants that [emoji14]Quote:

NICE!!! How does it compare to the ecoboost? In real world terms is it any worse on the juice? I have just fitted, black 5.0 badges, ford racing oil separator, struts and cue ball gear knob, DBA 2 piece discs, stoptech pads and a full Borla touring cat back with black tips to mine. I was keeping this one standard....
Bloody hell ! Where've you been ? :D :wave:Quote:

I have been working my arse off in IT to climb the ranks after taking voluntary redundency in a job I was in for 10+ years! Been through a number of different cars, 350z, golf R (still have this) and finanlly decided to treat myself to a Mustang last April. I will see what I can do with pictures as it looks like you need to host them.Quote:

On the subject of V8s, McLaren’s V8 is derived from the Nissan VRH series

Not quite; they bought the architecture rights of the Tom Walkinshaw Racing version of the VRH and then promptly decided it was a complete waste of money and started pretty much from scratch anyway :wack:Quote:

New wheels on, lowered and colourcoded the Brembos.
Its a very different animal, The eco was very much like a stage 2 S14, it was always ready and like a yappy terrier, it was a good fast point to point car. The GT isnt as responsive and feels like a fatter lazier creature but once its going its amazing and the noise is superb :D Just firing it up puts a massive smile on the face.Quote:

Liking that mate. Not usually a fan of painted brakes but that's working.
The colour of the car is still stunning :D
Try this on the leatherQuote:

If so it has lazy gearing compared to the 15-17s and as such doesn't feel as responisve. People on Mustang6g are looking at swapping the ratio to 4.09. I know what you mean about starting it, now I have swapped the exhaust it just makes me grin, the sound is intoxicating. I get around 22ish mpg out of mine using Vpower.Quote:

I think they will be 20s too. a guess but it wil be 295 or 305 at the back and 265 or 275 at the front. Standard are 255 front 275 rear on a 19Quote:

It’s only a V6 but it does have 2 turbos and has done 180 (ask Crazy Eddie)
But Steam does work on an interior
