I’ve been busy so didn’t have a chance to post. So the Ecoboost is gone and I finally got a 2021 GT.

Got it ceramic coated it’s beautiful and fast.. but that’s the problem.

I miss being underestimated in the ecoboost until you gap them. My Ecoboost was FOB and racing was excited because you win, sometimes you lose.

Now no one wants to race unless they got a hellcat 😂. I was lucky enough to to race some guys I know in in a modded scat and a FOB 2017.. and yea the stock 2021 10 speed ate them. Going to have to start going to the track!

Enjoy those Eco’s gents they are fun cars don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, and have fun!

Those GT's sure can scoot esp if you boost them. Info like the sound of the V8 rumble. As much as I'd like a GT I don't have that kinda money so I'm building an ECO slowly with a built engine.

When I lemon my eco I opted for a GT for many reasons but mainly because the way the lemon law worked i came out 7g+ ahead going GT 400a with an eco I would break even.

I love my stock GT no question its a beast. But I will say. From the low end. Around town and take offs my FP tune eco had way more low down grunt. By the math from 2-4k i was producing more TQ than my stock GT. That said once I start breaking 3500rpm the GT comes alive and fast. But heck I can't stay long the manual hits 78mph in 2nd.


Day of swap 😕

I agree that low end on the Eco is amazing!! And you get to run through a few gears And let the blow off valve sing it was an amazing feeling!

it’s funny you say that you can hit 70+ in 2nd, my wife laughs at me every time I switch to manual mode in the city it’s first, second up to maybe 3000rpm stop light lol. I have to be on the highway now to make it over 3rd when doing spirited driving.

that red is awesome!

Mines a manual and fortunately my driving is split between highway 60-70% to city 30-40% depending on route. So i have plenty of opportunities. Only done it 3 times. Kinda amazing to drop to 2nd at 55-60 and slam to 78.

Thanks. If they offered the CS in that color I may have been tempted. That CS is sweet.
Congrats on the purchase brother. It's sweet!!!!
Nope. I had full bolt on eco with meth and no way was it more fun than my GT
Remove the 5.0 badges, for a little stealth.
Im close to selling mine. Not because I don't like it. I love it. But with the market and how I got it. I can make 6k profit.

Its weird. I sit at home or work and determined to sell it. I drive home or somewhere i say heck naw until i get where im going then im determined again 🤪
