Nice package, it was a Premium edition RR metallic auto trans, no perf pack though they didnt have any with it.

First Impressions,

How can I say this... It has enough power to surprise you, it had more pull than I was expecting. But on the same note it was a tad bit disappointing. Just doesnt have the same butt dyno effect that the SHO does. Could a tune really wake it up enough to make it really enjoyable? Thats the question I think im going to have to wait for.

Just a tune nets mid 12's. From some facebook (taken not so seriously) reviews I read, they were saying it felt sluggish cornering. How'd the maneuverability feel to you?

It was rush hour here in ft worth so while i did take it onto the freeway there really wasnt much room for really getting a feel for it. I did romp it pretty well on the off and on ramps and it corners better than the SHO for sure. The weight balance feels really solid and almost no discernible body roll. After talking with the wife tonight, I think im going to pull the trigger and get one, going to swap over my alky kit onto it and talk to Torrie or Cobb(since there pretty much local). Maybe i can get it into the 11s by summertime

Lucky you!!!

I've seen Livernois and Torrie put up some nice #'s for this super new project. This ecoboost will have a ton of aftermarket support for sure.

A tune REALLY makes a difference in the EB Stang! Tighter shift points, more responsiveness and of course more power...its like a new car. Add up to 56 horsepower and 87 Ft. Lbs of torque to your 2015 2.3L EcoBoost Mustang with Livernois Motorsports' MyCalibrator tuning device!

Hey Rich, honestly to me it feels like a Mustang in the corners...good going in fun coming out. It is responsive to your input but ultimately wants to go straight. Lowering the car with some slightly wider (.5-1") wheels and tires I think would help a ton!

Thx for the feedback. Being nice you are I see...lol. Going into corner feels good, coming out is fun. Love it, not the most effective way I bet, but hard to beat fun!
