On Board Comparison EcoBoost and GT

Just a couple of short vids showing the performance and sounds of the Eco 4 cyl and the 5.0 GT. Which one would you choose???

Not a proper comparison, but both sound ok, I see to Mods already, new exhaust
And suspension upgrades, to much body roll.

For a totally stock car I actually thought the suspension was really good, and honestly the body roll didn't look too bad. I think the independant suspension was a great addition to the car, along with lowering and widening it quite a bit. I'm seriously thinking about checking a '15 GT out when they hit the dealerships.

I love the design of the car and have heard many videos, exhaust sound better than this version, in camera view, show fair amount of body roll, but after Mods
on my car, drives like go-cart, no roll and I love it. Rear wheel clearance on my 08
is less than 3/4 " and no rub.
But I agree on wanting this car and as soon as they release the versions on steroids IE GT350 or Cobra/ Mach 1, I am going to have one of these.
Question is can I afford to keep car I have and buy a new one

I can't wait to start adding some goodies to mine. Performance and handling is my main focus for my car, and I'm not too sure if I'll be able to afford/justify buying a new one, but we'll see.

That 4 banger doesn't sound too bad. I'm still curious as to what kind of HP the 5.0 will have.

Rumor is the GT version will be 435 HP, up from 420.
Also a rumor, that what ever replaces the boss will be over 500,
time will tell, don't expect those versions, until 2016.
so lots of time to get us all in a frenzy, for the steroid versions

I've heard rumblings the Cobra will be back or maybe a Mach 1. 435hp is nice, I heard a guy say in another video that the GT would make north of 450hp, time will tell I guess.

the car replacing the shelby gt500, is going to be called just, GT350
and yes Mach 1 or Cobra will replace the boss, has not been confirmed
which name, although lately read more rumours cobra. I believe both of these are been released in 2016, the Boss version is supposed to have a even meaner version of the coyote engine. I have no idea, what will replace, the gt 500 engine.
