2015 mustang gt or ecoboost

From the recent reviews, the GT with the performance package seems like the way to go. Autoblog recently tested the 15 back to back against comparable 14 models. The difference in handling, chassis rigidity, and confidence was night and day. Plus they said the interior is the nicest ever seen in a Mustang. Unless you can get a crack head deal on a 13-14 Boss or GT500, don’t look back.
I think people are going to find that although the Ecoboost sounds enticing it will come up short of the feel of speed when compared to the 5.0. The 305hp v6 sounded like a great option to people as well. Yet no one I know purchased one. With the Ecoboost and 5.0 you can add a tune to both and the 5.0 is going to still hold an edge. With the Cobra Jet 5.0 I am sure they will have an intake similar to the current offering for the 2011-14 GT. So add headers and an intake and the car will make 450(ish) rwhp. Where the Eco boost has been commented on making 350rwhp. So lets say the it makes another 15% over that power number. You are still looking at 400rwhp.
Driving a IRS car is going to handle a lot better on the track as well as on the roads. My car has stiffer springs and more agressive shock valving to make it handle better on the road course. But when the rear tires hit bumps, cracks or just uneven road it is very "jittery". The IRS and chassis on the 2015 has been already verified to not have this issue. At least in stock form.
Plus the technology, conveniences and options on the 2015 are leaps and bounds better than the 2014 and earlier cars. So I don't see a reason to buy a 2014 or earlier car unless you want to save a ton of money and are OK with missing out on the upgrades.
If you have good credit you should be able to get a loan with a very low interest rate. So the fact you are getting a loan shouldn't weigh on your mind much. Put a hefty down payment if you can. Then the loan amount is less and it might put your mind at rest on the loan.
Good luck picking a car!

this is one of my biggest reasons wanting to go with the 15. the interior or all previous mustangs has been very dated and boring IMO.
Errr... Maybe the 2004 ones yes, but the 2005 'retro' remake I think was a fun interior (albeit a little on the cheap side). The 2011 interiors are an excellent evolution and has a TON more soft-touch material, my 2014 is leaps and bounds nicer than previous mustangs interior wise. The improved 2015 interior is as to be expected at a cost (one that I don't really care about when purchasing a car for the sledgehammer under the hood).
