Its a Dog. A 4 cylinder in a 3800 pound car. It will be on the boost all the time. They should have put the 3.5 ecoboost in it. That would make more sense. No oner is talking about MPG's which is why Ford did it but The average guy will never see any where near 25 which is what we get in the SHO.
12 SHO

Well 3500lbs. Which still heavier than the current model. I wonder what went wrong there cause it was suppose to be 800lbs lighter. Which would have put at 2800lbs and would have made it a very quick car.

Can't wait to watch you build it up! It's a Mustang, it deserves to go fast.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Ford NEVER said the new model would be lighter OR smaller NEVER. That was all speculation from the media and the fan circle. I would LOVE to see the 2.7l ecoboost in it or our 3.5. IMHO they will expand the engine options over the next several years. They always have in the past with a brand new platform. Start with a small core and expand out a bit.

I work for Ford where the Mustang is built, don't recall exactly where I read. But could sworn it was a Ford publication. I never pay any attention to anything else, cause they are usually way off in left field with there info.
