2015 Ford Mustang - General Discussion

[Blackbird.]

Seems like everyone does it these days. I pulled the fuse on my Audi days after I bought it.

 

[YSSMAN]

Well, does it really matter all that much? People flipped when Ford put that pipe through the dash to make the engine noise louder. People flipped when electric cars weren't loud enough. People continue to flip about how X, Y, and Z don't sound right. Blah blah blah blah.

You know what? I thought the EcoBoost sounded alright in those ride-along videos. Turbo cars sound silly to begin with. I guess I'll just take what I can get.

Well for me I like a natural sound. Whatever floats everyone's boats, I'm sure many will be none the wiser and enjoy the hell out of it. 👍

If you want to hear engine noise, open your window. Engine noise... who needs it? (/DrivesAnES330)

I do. At least when driving a manual transmission car. I drive them by sound/feel of the car, not by looking at the tacho. This would be a main reason why I hacked the resonator off my GTi, made it a little easier to drive....but then it sounds better too.

That Saleen front allllllllllllllllmost(almost), almost... did I type almost? Almost looks like a Challenger. Almost.

Not seeing it. Even in the least.

The EcoBoost has a fake engine noise http://jalopnik.com/the-2015-ford-mustang-ecoboost-fakes-its-engine-noise-1638853878

This. Exhaust note, a real one, makes or breaks a car for me.

I'd say it looks more like the Hellcat Charger's front end.

I did type "almost". Thank you.

It works for me.

That's because it doesn't look like a Charger.

The part that resembles the Camaro is the upper grille and headlight area. In fact, the general shape is pretty dead on. I'm not too fussed about it because I like Saleen's execution better anyway.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

So what does 'Price AS TESTED' mean? The car they tested had all the bells and whistles?

Yes that is the sticker price for the exact model they tested which includes the options.

That was a Challenger but you're right doesn't look like a Charger either! By yes you're also right it does look spot on.

To add on to what GTA said: includes the options that their test vehicle had. Not every option available although typically test cars are pretty loaded.

Here's Roush's official version.

 

[Badasp5.0]

^ The lower front grill with the foglights is kinda strange IMHO.

 

[Legro]

The grille is too far in front.

 

[Slash]

I don't think they recessed the grille but extended the nose.

 

[RocZX]

 

[Adamgp]

Really love the Roush version. Saleen, not so much.

 

[Slash]

The front end still is going to take soem getting used to, but dat ass

The front is reminds me of the New Edge Roush horrid front bumper

 

[Slash]

Now it looks like a Mustang from this angle

 

[Keef]

I definitely prefer the Saleen. But I like almost everything Saleen does so whatever.

Same here. There a few cool things with Roush but Saleen is my choice. I wonder if Steeda is even making turnkey cars anymore?

 

[Omnis]

I like Roush from the back wheels and back, and Saleen forwards of 'em.

New video from Ford Racing

Bolt on supercharger with an entirely stock car and a set of slicks got it into the 10s...

The Ecoboost is in the 12s

 

[Badasp5.0]

HD Half Shaft kit hmmmmmmmm makes me wonder if the stock ones are weak. Very impressive times. I would love to know what the DA was for those runs. Nice that they put the time slips in the video.
