Those of you who have test-driven and/or bought the 2015 Ford Mustang have noticed a few things about its handling hardware.

A leaked pre-production training manual shows that when the new EcoBoost is filled with 87 octane, the power figures drop quite substantially. But don’t worry, there’s a bright side.

While our own experience in the EcoBoost Mustang left us wanting much more seat time, the performance index of that car could be a bit better. Thankfully, we have Ford Racing. And according to them, the EcoBoost is about to get a serious increase in torque.

It seems that a few of those 2015 EcoBoost Mustangs might have been a little too eager to get out of the stable.

Setting out to prove that the new EcoBoost Mustang is capable of a lot more than people think, the Bama Performance team took another run at the track, hoping to make their first 12-sec pass in the car.

The Blue Oval sold 8,728 Mustangs last month — the first full month of 2015 sales — making it the best November for the vehicle since 2006 and allowing it to zoom past the Camaro and become the best-seller in the U.S. muscle car sector.

The latest we’ve come across are the numbers for one of the first tuners to beef up the output on the EcoBoost’s turbocharged 2.3-liter engine.
