looks like the blower car is about gutted aside from the carbon fiber racing seat, cheaters

 

[TonzKnock-G]

So with suspension, exhaust, tune, and slicks the ecoboost ran 12.5

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

12.56@109... and now I'm leaning toward buying the EcoBoost again.

Did you not hear how it sounds lol?

Yeah it did sound like poop, but fast poop.

 

[GLIGTO]

Rather impressive and perhaps a bit surprising on the ecoboost front. I wonder what differences there are between the new Mustangs ecoboost vs the Focus ST's.

 

[Smokinhot]

It's faster...

 

[Smokinhot]

My Focus ST should be able to cut low 13's with stage 3 bolt-ons (IC, INTAKE, ECHAUST, 100 OCTANE TUNE). Hoping i could crack a high 12 though. Mind you, the Ecoboost Mustang will probably cost more than the 24 k base price of the Focus ST. I think with all my mods, it might touch the Ecoboost Stang's more and I would be fast in the 1/4 and possibly the road course.

 

[Smokinhot]

The later is a tough call

I looked at getting focus ST. I really like the styling. I still will probably get one eventually. I just am disappointed in the power even with Stage III mods.

 

[Smokinhot]

You realize on e85/100 octane they hit almost 280-300fwhp/360-380tq? The tq comes in around 3k. I'm waiting on solid numbers, but supposed there is a company making a hybrid k03/k04 turbo. Looking for good results for only $750. That's a bargain to me. I still love this little hatch. Good solid DD straight out of the box.

I hear ya man. I am a fan. Was just figuring with stock numbers that these would be 12s easy with stage II/III mods. And everything I read that is very hard to obtain. I get they are not drag cars.

That trap shows how weak that motor is uptop still, nearly half a second faster than my car with a 4mph slower trap. I know on slicks it'd trap a spec slower, but nearly half a second faster...?

Regardless, definitely doing work pulling tire

 

[Smokinhot]

Your car is slower than a 4 cylinder mustang, deal with it!

Yes half a second faster than your car with a 4mph less trap because the EcoBoost is putting it all down in the 60' and sacrificing some trap speed to do it. As a general Rule you gain .2 off the overall time for every .1 you knock off the 60'. So If the Ecoboost ran a 2.0 60' it would be a low 13 sec car. When I tracked my car a lot all I cared about was what it did in the 60'.

 

[SleeperLS]

I would say the comparison of the 11-14 GT with the new ecoboost is OK if they are both on the same tire. I dont think the modded ecoboost is on par with a stock 11-14GT on a good tire. Look at what Pratt ripped with his stock 6 speed car on a drag tire...would have left that ecopoop in the dust sounding like shit for no reason.

 

[TonzKnock-G]

5.0 guys hating on the ecoboost ...

 

[1quick]

5.0 minus cats plus a tune and cold air intake = 11's or for some deep 11's for me slightly faster than the ecoboost

 

[SleeperLS]

Merely pointing out that it is a no contest and there is no point in comparing the two.

 

[1quick]

And it's true the ecoboost is what 10 psi add that to a 5.0 and it's 600whp

 

[SleeperLS]

Doesn't the ecoboost push more than 10psi stock? I wonder how much they were running to get those decent numbers.

 

[1quick]

I have no idea I'm just guessing

 

[SleeperLS]

Research shows 15-18psi stock.

Woulda been cool if Ford called it the new SVO instead of Eco boost.
