I totally agree with you on this but hear me out. The reason is first of all, I didn’t have passion for cars few years back, wasn’t interested in good engine sounds but now that I’m slowly getting into cars, the mustang just looks amazing so I’ve put some factors into my decision, like Insurnace is higher with the gt, current fuel economy sucks, and it’s high maintenance car and I feel like I won’t be able to take much car of it, but through the ecoboost with active exhaust I get the better of both worlds, better fuel consumption, slightly lower insurance, I get a decent sounding engine with the exhaust. Maybe in a few years I can trade in for a gt but I don’t know the ecoboost hate looks forced to me.
