I wouldn't be so quick. The guy who wrote that article seems a little biased to the "older" stang. Maybe he has one, lol.

Read C&D and R&T as well. The car is even more M4 (german) like than ever. Every acceleration test is slower as well. The only thing they rave about is the comfort and poise of the IRS. I'm sure other performance variants and the DI Coyotes will be better. But this 2015 model is not worth buying if you currently have a Coyote. They took a step back performance numbers wise in every category except lateral G

Not sure....where did you see it trapping faster. The quarter and 0 to 60 .2 slower in every publication.

Well that's on MT 4.4/ 12.8 run. Others are slower. No one has hit 4.3 /12.7 like 2011-2014 tests

Yes but if its trapping more MPH there's traction problems. I can honestly see 12.50s 100% stock with a good driver and track prep.

No one really looks at 0 to 60 for performance in the racing world. More of MPH and ETs and 60fts.

Yeah but publications dont test for all that. I'm talking street wise. This car will not do 12.5 smh. But lets say it did on perfect conditions... A current coyote should do 12.3 then

I want to see one tuned. With all the additions to the engine it should make more power.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Yep multiple sources saying slightly slower because she's heavier by nearly 200lbs

Just the addition of cooled seats makes me really want it. But at $40k for an ecoboost coupe and $44k for the vert, no thanks
