>4 cyl with the mpg of one
>310 horsepower; the same as the last gen V8
Assuming you can get over the muh V8 pony car, what is the downside to this? I may personally look at one for a daily driver down the road since I already have a V8 performance car with terrible mpg
Faster depreciation.
No matter how much you mod it itll be slower than a v8 with the same money spent on it.
Fake exhaust noise.
>Cheap sporty coupe as a dd
But why if you claim to have a performance car? Just get some reliable shitbox instead
Devil's advocate;
>don't plan on reselling car
>not using it as a track car, but as an economy car with a little more power than a typically 120hp dog
it's slower than the v8 and you'll at some point wish you had the v8. however, it's like 6 grand cheaper, pretty damn quick, fast enough to have fun, enough power for any daily driving need, and still faster than 95% of other cars you see. plus bitches cant tell the difference, and bitches love mustangs.
People know that you prep the bull
>it's slower than the v8 and you'll at some point wish you had the v8
Basically this. It'll keep nagging at you no matter what; I'll concede it's less shitty than the V6 but for the money I'd rather just buy something else and/or save up for a 5.0.
>plus bitches cant tell the difference
Bitches don't know shit about cars period, you could cart yourself around in a 20 year old 3 series and they'd think you were rich. I own a flashy-looking, reasonably fast car but usually drive my Miata (interesting but not expensive looking) if I think I might meet girls that'll see the car, gay jokes aside I'm trying to avoid gold diggers.
>economy car
It isnt. The mpg still isnt that great. If youre buying a mustang buy what its meant to be and get the v8. otherwise there are much better cars if all you want is economy and power.
Mazda 3. Otherwise stop being a bitch and buy the v8.
>otherwise there are much better cars if all you want is economy and power.
there really arn't. ecoboost mustang is legitimately probably the best compromise for cost/comfort/power you can buy in the US. it's genuinely a really good car, and I despised the previous generation of rustang.
