I have my mustang to go fast in. The ecoboost is the family hauler so I won't be modding this one.

I guess that's me coming from a V6 truck, and the potential for something on the EB to go out/wrong unexpectedly.

I've seen all those videos. I'm not dissing the EB at all, just saying that I wouldn't pay the premium price they ask for it if I wasn't going to use it as intended.

It's only a $750 or $1350 option IIRC. It's not much different in price at all and mpg can make up for it.
Bought ours as a new demo (2012- bought "new" in 8/12). 6k miles, never been registered so we got factory rebates and stuff still- $27500 with 5/60 warranty and all the other new car stuff.

I love the Forgestars. If you find a buyer not wanting them, I'm running my stock 2011 GT Premium wheels now. They just rolled 23k with the stock PZero tires.

Not talking mileage. These trucks with a few bolt ons and a good tune can run high 12's at 5600+ pounds all day long. I wasn't trying to call anyone out or bet on a race was just trying to educate a little about how badass the EB motor in these trucks really is. I'm usually at coit every friday if you want to go for a ride in it...
