I'm pretty sure that the first one was an I6 not a V6. Anyway, an ecoboost mustang just balance out the gas mileage of the more powerful/smaller production mustangs meaning that the ones you drive can have more power without having to worry about gas mileage...
The Ecoboost Disappointment
- Thread starter Softballer77
- Start date
My impression from the OP's posts is that he suffers from SPS.
Old man Shelby can keep turning over in his grave. The ecoboost-4 will be a great option for those who want their cake and eat it too. In 1966 alone for built 607,xxx mustangs majority of them are I6's, the thrifty models keep the brand alive keeping letting people experience Mustang without the shitty gas mileage and crazy insurance policies

Do those of you complaining about 4cyl Mustangs even understand how CAFE standards work? You wouldn't have a 662hp GT500 if there weren't Mustang models that could reach 30mpg. And if this 4cyl can get even better mileage then that leaves room for Ford to work with on their higher end Mustangs as it's all about averages.
Next up, 250cc Harleys...
Oh wait…people don't buy them for the 250cc models.

So what is the reason the Viper?? I don't see 4 cylinder Vipers running around in order to have ones that carry that V10 monster under their hoods. Or much less, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Maserarti's, etc. Even bigger…where is the 4cylinder Camaro if it is such an issue????
Old man Shelby….
easy to say when the man has passed. Only the best Mustang improver to walk the planet. Go ahead…have your day. I can guarantee you this…he would NOT have anything to do with an overweight mustang with a 4 cylinder. Other car's maybe (though he hated it!) but not a mustang. Go ahead and argue that one.

Of all the vehicles I've owned with aftermarket exhaust, my favorite by far was what I had on my '93 Mustang in the mid 90's. It made close to 570 to the wheels, had LT headers with 3" 3 chamber Flowmasters and a pair of Dynomax race magnum bullets. The bullets were only on there to kill the drone (only thing I hated about Flowmasters).
The single 3" exhaust I had on my track car ( '03 S2000) was quite nice, but man did it drone at 75 - 80 MPH.
All 3 of the car makers you posted all buy several millions of dollars in fines every year for fuel milage.
Fiat Chrysler offsets the Viper with cars like the Fiat 500 and Fiat 500e.
GM can make cars like the ZL1, Z/28, ZR1 with cars like the Volt, Cruze Ecodiesel and other fuel effeicnt cars but there will be a 4 cylinder 6th Camaro and there strong rumors to a hybrid C8 starting already.
You can bet, if he could brand it, merchandise it or in some other way make a dime off of attaching his name to you, he'd sure as hell would be all over it.
I was at Lamotta yesterday very cool guys they know what they are doing.
To piggy back off of your response, low volume manufacturers also get exemptions from the government. SRT is its own company but I am not sure if it still has the same requirements as dodge or gets exemptions like ferrari and lamborghini. Those low volume brands also have tightening requirements, they just get to play by different rules.
Let's not forget about all the turbo-4 Dodges he built during the 80's!
So much this. Shelby put his name on everything he could.

After being part of the 2014 Shelby Bash…I would NOT bet on that.
All comments can be what they are. I will not be buying a 4 cylinder Mustang ever in my life.
You are a typical Shelby owner...... :smh: Shelby was all about making a buck and thats it. He had zero to do with developing the 2013/2014 car.
