Ford has been messing around with the 2.3L Ecoboost in the Stang and they did a tune, cat-less exhaust and slicks and the car ran a 12.5! Its amazing what's going on with turbo 4's today. Another site I'm on has a guy with a Sonic with tune, intake and exhaust running a 14.6, are you kidding me!!!


Don't forget the turbo 4 is making more HP than the turbo 6, figure that one out. The turbo 6 is the BASE coupe and the turbo 4 is a step above it !

The base is NA 6cyl. There is no turbo 6cyl in the 2015 mustang just the turbo 4cyl.

That is correct and infact the base 3.7L has been detuned, now makes about 290 hp, the 2.3L Ecoboost is the "middle" engine option and then ofcoarse the 5.OL being the top option....for now! Wonder if an Ecoboost 5.0L or 5.8L is going to happen, imagine that power number! I think there should be single and twin turbo V8 options, along with supercharged engines, maybe a turbo/supercharged engine:cool:

Yeah, they've never had a turbo 6 in the Mustang, thought the SHO engine would be a natrual in there:

-300 hp 4 Ecoboost
-400 hp 6 Ecoboost
-500 hp 8 Ecoboost
-600+ hp Ecoboost for "specialty" cars

Well Roger, I snapped a few shots of the interior when I got home this evening:







I have to admit I was blown away with how nice the interior was in this car, and those seats.... The pics don't do them justice.

that doesn't surprise me one bit, Hyundai has upped their game over the years and continue to climb up the ladder...
 
Coming from a MINI.... A very DEVOTED MINI owner for many years, I knew it was gonna take something special to replace it.

Well, this was it for sure :dblthumb2:

It seems like all you would need to clean the interior fabrics is a damp cloth with maybe a hint of APC, not the soaking of APC that was done in the video. Is this stuff located on AGs website or is it somewhere else & what is the cost?

Love leather and I love the red stitching too, gives it a high end look for sure! I know your looking into leather coatings now but I've always liked the Griot's leather conditioner because it smells like they melted a baseball glove into the bottle, they've even got a great leather scent as well. I'm sure whatever you chose though will keep those seats looking and feeling their best, NOTHING is better than leather seats:props:

Thanks for sharing the interior pics, looks as good as the exterior does!

Funny thing is I've never been a leather seats fan... I like cloth or vinyl (NICE vinyl).
But these are just beautiful! :drool:
 
I had vinyl or synthetic leather in the MINI, well, because it wasn't dead cowskin, it didn't breathe and therefore you'd get hot in the summer, wish I had the base cloth seats, couldn't afford the leather in the MINI as it would've put my car payment over my budget.

Glad you like the seats Monica, you'll end up loving them after a while I bet. Btw are they heated?

I had both in two different MINIS. Liked them both.

I never liked the leather in the MINIS..... it would sag and looked too big on the frame after a while. I'm not sure about the newer minis and leather.

I love the seats already :dblthumb2:

It's not even up all the way! :laughing:
 
Congrats on the new ride!
A friend just bought a 2015 Genesis AWD Sedan and while we were at the stealership... they had a silver Genesis Coupe on the showroom floor. They literally had to pull me away from the Coupe.... considering I was there to help negotiate on my friends car! lol

The Genesis Coupe is a pretty cool car... I want one too! :)
 
It's not even up all the way! :laughing:

It's NOT?

WOW.... must be like my G35. I swear they must have been thinking a bunch of 4'3" folks were going to go road racing in the darned thing!:dunno:

That reminds me; if you have power seats, up/down front/back you can likely get it to go up (or down) farther than it does when adjusted from the factory. On mine there was a thread over on the G forum years back that showed how to do it. Basically there is a block that a powered auger/screw goes through. The block is attached to the seat, the auger from the motor. It was as simple as adjusting it all the way in one direction then holding it with a pair of pliers and adjusting it (the block) a bit farther. From there it just reset the "center". On mine for instance the back didn't go down far enough to suit me (@ 5'10½") if I was even wearing a ball cap my head would hit the roof unless I had the seat laid back like a rap star. :rolleyes: Took all of 3 minutes to get it down another ½"! :dblthumb2:
