I love the new 2.3 Ecoboost - only 4 cyl that drives like a big torquey 6.
Pretty cool that they added a package for:
- Rolling antilag using the EGR system, up to 3 seconds off throttle
- More travel, revised magneride dampers and stability control to make drifting easier
- Electronic drift handbrake
- 6 and 4 pot Brembos from Dark Horse
Really surprised they did this since the standard mustang sold less than the Mach-E.

That 5.0L v8 is basically the same spec as my ratrolla v8, almost the same rpm redline too… on a 60k car !!! Like half the price of a ratrolla 90% of the engine. Yah you don’t have the Yamaha heads, but at that price who cares. You get a manual too!!! What a bargain

The problem is the trans (Getrag and 10R) more than the engine.
5.0 is quite reliable but latest gen has a wet belt driven oil pump.
Ford says they needed it so the pump doesn't blow up with 700hp+.
Mechanics said the previous versions of this wet belt thing blew up in the 1.0
The earlier gen Coyotes used a crank driven oil pump, but they used powdered metal gears. They are perfectly fine for a stock engine, the issue comes when people put belt driven superchargers on them, which puts extra stress on the front of the motor and the gears. There are aftermarket billet gears available that fix the problem.
The coyote is a crazy platform, this guy is running 6.04's in the 1/4 (~3000RWHP) with a stock block and mostly stock GT350 (Voodoo) heads.

If you guys were to get an Audi R8 V8 (1st gen) would you pay the manual tax for the gated shifter, or settle for the R-Tronic (single clutch automated manual).

Manual, I drove an auto V8 R8 and it was mind-numbingly boring in sound and performance. I would assume the manual would make it much more lively feeling.

It eats the clutch and breaks down often too. The facelift one comes with dual clutch and much better apparently.
