Help regarding 2018+ Ecoboost Mustangs

[faint wigeon]

So. Im going to start of by saying that i dont really care if you are going to tell me not to buy or mod one.

So guys, for my 18th birthday I want to get an Ecoboost Mustang (due to various reasons, otherwise I wpuld buy a 5L), and I want to know what mods I should and can put on it to make it faster but keep it road legal.

Downpipe and tune

Drive it. They’re great cars for daily driving.

drive it and wait with modding till you start noticing things you dislike or things it needs.

common first mods are partial exhaust system, new wheels and tires, maybe suspension either full coilovers or just the springs, new intake and tune.

though if your goal is to go fast then taking some driving lessons or messing around somewhere safe can go a long way especially with some coaching

Buy an older gen with a v8

If you want to go fast, an eco boost is the opposite path u wanna take

It will cost more money to go “fast” in an eco boost compared to a v8

And if he did make an EcoBoost “fast” it would completely negate whatever fuel economy advantage it may have had

💯%

could be a similar situation to Sweden where going V8 means insanely high purchasing costs, tax rates, insurance rates and expensive fuel for that hungry engine.
though the fact they're looking at 2018+ kinda goes against that a bit.

If he is living in Europe, I doubt he would be considering a mustang

It’s a cost thing, that is why

[clever valve]

they said Romania

[finite hearth]

Ohh really, skipped that

[clever valve]

lol

Then maybe

Ya I think ur right, pretty sure they do have a higher cc tax

[faint wigeon]

Legit said that I cant get a V8. Due to the engine size I would have to pay arouns $2000 for the 5L, but for the 2.3L I would pay $200

[faint wigeon]

Dont care about the fuel
