      Yeah like what??, i can understand that i don't have any in my Eco box, but not having any in a performance car? kinda weird, unless ford doesnt trust the people that buy them, it probably makes it harder to do donuts in them

      Paddles were previously added if optioned with the Performance Package. However, the Performance Package has been dropped for the 2025MY. The Ecoboost has officially been sentenced to rental car purgatory.

      Exactly, I know that technically the Mustang is more “powerful” and “quicker” but honestly not by that much if were looking at power to weight ratios. Also the 86/BRZ will be a better handler. The Ecoboost isn’t bad but yikes that price sucks.

Pay off the 2021 and drive it to the wheels fall off, unless you love owing money on things you'll never own the rest of your life.

    I’m not planning on racing, but I’m more than happy it can go fast if I want. I could’ve gotten the GT, but that cars too expensive to just have the base model and it eat more gas.
    The price of the base GT is the same as the ecoboost premium, in yellow, with legit anything and everything you want to add extra…well worth it over the GT

    There’s are things I like and don’t like about my 2024 ecoboost. I love the driving experience since it suits my needs and puts a smile on me every time I drive and I like the overall look of the car which is a hit or miss I know for people. The things I don’t like is 95% of everything you need to access like AC/heat is on the touchscreen dash and there’s been numerous times I will start my car and the middle dash doesn’t come active for a few moments which means no back camera and can’t control volume or anything on the screen unless you wait a few moments or restart the vehicle. Another issue that I have is it likes to disconnect from my phone a lot and I’ve never had it happen in any other vehicles and it does suck when I’m driving listening to a banger song just for it to lag all over and eventually nothing is playing. The black bar that separate the screens also somewhat annoys me like why not fully complete it and the dash computer does get hot I’ve noticed which I wonder since Saleen made a cover system for their 2024 model if there will be versions to install in the ecoboost.

    @AtomicSymphonic 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    FOLKS (and @TheTopher), just a PSA to everyone, Ford has moved the 6-speed manual transmissions and paddle shifters to the higher trim levels. This Ecoboost Premium is closer to their base level/low-end trim. That's why it lacks paddles and/or a stick shift. The GT Fastback and up (including Dark Horse) have stick shifts available.
    I'm guessing it's a bit of an acknowledgement by Ford that the people buying *new* cars with stick shifts in North America are almost entirely enthusiasts that already want a more powerful engine with a stick shift.

    Was never a fan of the ecoboost because why have these when you can have a V8? Now that I'm a bit older I understand the car market more and had the chance to drive an eco boost and an older v6 mid 2010's model. I gotta say they can boogie and get down, they definitely handle a lot better than the old ones with the solid axles. I think the improvements made the mustang so much better. However, the price for one of these and the build quality I'm not too keen on, it doesn't seem to know what is it. No paddle shifters but it has a line lock on an ecoboost? Like what? I understand everything is more expensive nowadays, but this is more expensive than my GR Corolla? Albeit only by $1000 but still crazy.

Without these they wouldn’t be able to continue to make the v8s due to low sales numbers on them. Overall a pretty solid sporty car

    I had an s550 base, and loved it. The base is way more balanced and you get a perfect daily car, even by weird American standards. But the price with premium EcoBoost is so bad. You have to love 4cyl too much to purchase it for 40k+. I think the premium EcoBoost should be a more dedicated track car. Might be cool if they make a dark horse but for EcoBoost instead of leather seats and 3 same-sounding exhaust options.

    I drive a LT1 10-speed. Personally i think the paddle shifters are kind of useless because its just way too many gears to shift between. Also they arent nearly as responsive as a Dual Clutch or even the ZF8 speed. The Camaro does have a good calibration of the trans in sport mode so personally I almost never use the paddle shifters except when i need to upshift after going WOT.
    I agree it should have them standard but I dont think its a huge deal. Low mode seems to keep revs at 3-4K rpms which is perfect.

    • @raneer_6567
      @raneer_6567 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The paddle shifters are great for downshifting because the 10 speeds tend to sit at the wrong (higher) gear a lot. Downshifting to accelerate is a must if you want to be in the right powerband.

      In sport mode my Camaro will obviously try to get to the highest gear when I'm done accelerating lol.
      If you need to accelerate just press the gas pedal. The 10 speed downshifts quick enough. Also as he showed in the video low mode or whatever keeps the rpms around 3-4K which is perfect

      You would be wrong. I’ve driven both the 550 and the 650 eco-boost. The 650 is miles better. It feels more refined, and even the look out over the hood is better. If you get the high-performance pack in the 650 eco, it comes with paddle shifters and a drift brake too! I just built one out at a Ford dealership yesterday and the MSRP came out to 37K. The only option I put on it was the high-performance pack. Because I wanted the 3.55 torsen and upgraded brakes and suspension
      Edit: one last thing the new eco-boost engine comes with port and direct injection. Better for negating carbon build up.
