I'm digging your ride tcman. I think the Ruby Red is now my fav color now. Is that the base ecoboost? Only reason I ask is I like the wheels and the seats don't look that bad either. I'm still trying to decide on either a near base GT or loaded 2.3. Wish I knew the status of the procal tune. It sounds too good to be true if the 90/110 rumors are correct. The one for the 5.0 was only good for something like 16/7 if I remember correctly.

Yeah, it is the base ecoboost, I really like my wheels, they were a slight upgrade option which is matted black, the cloth seats are really nice as well, really hold you in place and nicely stitched. The procal tune for the mustang ecoboost was supposed to be ready at the end of last year which was 3 months ago, I am going to call ford racing one of these days and find out the status of it, and yes the ecoboost engine can be tuned that high.. it is amazing.
Of course the GT 5.0 and the ecoboost 2.3 are two different animals, if I had the $40K I would have got the the GT but due to finance issues that were helped out by my family I only had about $28K to spend so I got the ecoboost. But throw in the procal tune and a cold air intake for $750 and you are somewhat in the area of GT speed numbers.
Two more observations, the ecoboost handling is crazy good, some say even better than the GT because they say the GT almost over powers everything. The other thing I have noticed that after about 1500 miles on the car it has gotten much quicker and smoother, a slight break-in period I guess.
Once again if you want the fastest car, with the nice low rumble of a V8 and got the $40k and money for the insurance than the GT is your car no questions asked.
If you want to spend less and get the same car with about 100hp less and then in the future do a few mods then go for the ecoboost.
Got my 2016 Ecoboost Premium on Friday May 6. Deep Impact Blue, 201a, wheel and strip, navigation, and spare tire. Thought I'd include a few pictures of the trunk in action because that was an important factor for me. We plan to take a lot of long road trips, so top down luggage space was needed. The competitors vehicles come up desperately short here.
Have 600 miles on the clock, averaging 27 mpg, cruises at 2500 rpm doing 80 with no effort.
19 inch wheel and stripe package. I LOVE these wheels.
With Lovetheride wind deflector
Two 23 inch burton wheeled duffels in trunk with room to spare. These duffels are huge!
Space at back of trunk, under the canopy. The space is about 9 inch high in center. Great space for stashing stuff.
Two 21 inch Samsonite suitcases leaves loads of space, even with subwoofer.
They also fit in narrow end first. I then put a Coleman Party Stacker Cooler (24 cans) under the canopy shelf.
My little CO EgoBoost Project car.
2015 Base with auto and PP
VMP/FFTEC Big Turbo kit B-W EFR 7670 with methanol injection, Levels Performance intercooler.
Circle D 4500 stal converter

Best time 11.26@120

Here's my base EB, finally came in 5/23 and I picked it up 5/26. I owned 3 for just 4 hours so I thought I'd snap some picks of my Stang family before the new owner came and picked up the 2011 ...
Nice, the guard is one of the few colors that looks good with stripes imo. I may be out of luck as I've been having trouble find many in this color in my price range (at least in a gt auto premium). It looks like I may have to settle for a lower package or different color unless somebody offers some major discounts soon.
