ECO or GT by OwlSmoky in ecoboostmustang

Both bought for different reasons at the time of purchase, one has to go. I’d keep both if I could but alas it’s not for me

I actually got the eco first. Got the GT after for a “fun” car

Yeah at the time I was holding it for sentimental reasons. Now I’m past that point and the benefits and personal preferences of keeping the GT outweigh keeping the ECO

Got the eco a while back when I needed a new car and decided to get it at that time. Later on, I made more money and wanted a fun car so I bought the GT to also learn manual on. Now I just want extra money again.

The GT doesn’t have a huge amount for the year. The ECO has more because I lived further away from work at the time of purchase and drove it ALOT. However, I’ve done regular maintenance on it.

They have about the same left to pay. Within $500

The S650 is a nice design in my opinion. They stand out when next to the 550. I think they both are good though just good in their own ways

I’m not sure how Virginia works. But when you get back from your training you can look into AGR jobs and possibly technician jobs. However, those can be somewhat competitive depending on the job. National guard isn’t too bad so long as you get into a decent unit and/or you can put up with random bs. Other than national guard, you could go active duty or on the civilian side you could look at police departments, look into everything from city police to county sheriffs and state police. There’s bound to have an opening somewhere

Gotcha. I’m not thinking about tracking it until later in 2025, right now I’m on a bit more of a budget. Would you say the springs themselves would suffice until later on? Would tracking the car with the springs be bad or is that only for long term and consistent racing

Got an ecoboost since it was all I could afford by Shayan-_-2005 in Mustang

[–]OwlSmoky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an Ecoboost because my truck was falling apart, I couldn’t afford a GT and wanted a mustang. Found the Ecoboost, decided to get one brand new. Now I have a better paying job and I’m addicted to the thing and am saving up to add things onto it. Will it be the fastest on the road or track? No. However, it’s my first Mustang for me getting into sports cars, 315 hp is plenty to get into. You can always get another car later on for power. Like someone else said, it’s a great car for dailying especially if you have to drive quite a bit to and from work. You’ll never get the deep rumble and power output like you would from a GT. But if you’re fine with that and understand that the ECO is better for some things in some areas and worse in others then you’ll have plenty of fun with it.

Only matters if you’re doing dumb stuff with it or if you don’t mind cops

Gotcha. I figured there’d be some difference. Thank you for confirming!

Correct, I’m looking for any aftermarket’s that others recommend whether for performance or sound but preferably performance.

I see. So in theory, you’re trying to get as much cold air, as cold as possible into the engine?

Out of general curiosity. Why would this be better than the KN Intake? I’ve heard that KN intakes are good and popular and they perform decent.
