Mustang Showdown: 2023 EcoBoost vs. 2023 GT

The 2023 Ford Mustang GT and EcoBoost are compared in terms of performance, aesthetics, and features. While the GT boasts a powerful V8 engine and aggressive design elements, the EcoBoost offers a more fuel-efficient turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The debate revolves around personal preferences, with arguments about hood vents, fangs, racing stripes, and exterior colors. Interior features and outdated technology are also discussed. Ultimately, a drag race is proposed to settle the dispute, but the EcoBoost falls short due to the heat and fuel considerations. The author concludes that the GT is the superior choice, but the EcoBoost owner argues that additional modifications could make their car faster.

The ECO is more powerful and faster than 80% of Mustangs ever made. People who think the V8 is the *only* Mustang are crazy.

I think we all know how that was going to end. I’ll neither confirm nor deny that my sister bought 2.3T badges for me and I may or may not have gone to the Ford dealership to measure precisely where the 5.0 is located on a GT fender and may or may not have installed them on my Ecoboost.

As I get older and older I start to want better gas mileage than speed lol

[deadlyumbreon]

Those 5.0 owners who think "My 5.0 is better" Shut up! before daddy cobra shuts your mouth lol

[mkvr]

No one drives more aggressive than the person who bought the NON V8 version of their car. I have a GT and I dont have anything to prove until someone comes along who deserves to see it.

These kids have no idea what there talking about. The ecoboost makes 350 tq not 330. The hood vents are real on both to💀

[derrickhead]

I love my eco but after having a 2016 and 2020 its time for that 2024 GT i need that proper roar

The 1/4 mile difference is less than a second. And that 10k? Get a ford factory turbo upgrade and tune, that ecoboost pushes over 500 hp.

[subterfusion]

The ecoboost is a blast to daily, the GT exhaust (10 spd downshifts anyone?) Sound is worth the extra 10k. Ones a tuner car, ones a muscle car. Both great cars.

[testos]

Mine makes it to the speed limits, gives me 31 mpg and my neighbors love me! The guy down the street has the 5.0 and everybody hates his guts, specially at 5 AM!

I grew up a mustang fan. Growing up in the 90s, the fox body was the car we all wanted. It sounded so good and you could do anything with them. I had a 91 that i procharged. But, my first car was a 1992 Eagle Talon TSI. Turbo cars will always have a special place in my heart. They are so much fun.

My talon was a 2.0 DOHC turbo rated for 190hp. Getting 330hp out of a stock 4cyl turbo car is wild!

Tbh if your mustang is going to be your daily driver the eco boost is a better option. I wanted a 5.0 but I drive 30 + miles a day and gas is ridiculous. When I get to a point where I don’t commute much or can get a second car a 5.0 will be in my driveway! But to be fair ecoboost owners getting told there car is slow is ridiculous anything over 300 horses is pretty fast. Standard cars are all under 200 horses

*Good production overall when it comes to how everything is played out to the camera work and music, as well as the information provided. HOWEVER, the fake arguing went on for way too long and was very overplayed. To toss in a line or two is one thing and can work to your advantage, but here it just made it hard to watch during those shots. Tone that down A LOT or just do away with it and interact in other ways and I'm sure your videos will do better since you're not exactly lacking elsewhere. At least this is all I can gather from this one video. 11K views to only 151 Likes seems to be reflecting something I'm saying. At least you've only got 7 Dislikes. Most people don't hate the video. They're kinda like, "It's alright. Not bad, but could be better." But I think your channel has potential since it already feels professionally produced enough as far as car channels go. All that aside, I'll take the Ecoboost. More than enough power, but way better gas mileage equals a win-win in my book.*

Lighter front end makes the Ecoboost a better handling car in the snow.

[jy]

this video was so well produced i'd think you guys have atleast 100, 000 subs. very underrated content i see this channel skyrocketing in the near future.

[trainwithrhettkind]

I’ll keep my grabber yellow ecoboost lol I’m a gas friendly guy 😅

[forrestscofield]

At 60mph, the ecoboost gets 38+ mpg I have a 2020 4cyl 6speed

[jbigdangler]

With 93 and a tune it would keep up with the gt no issue.

Heat Soak in the intercooler the stock intercooler is done after one hard run.

Put them on a road course and the lighter front end will help the ecoboost while the 5.0 will start over heating the front tires.

[LeeCountySpeedShop]

The way that 5.0 is running my 2021 2.3 High Performance Package would have been even or beaten that 5.0 in the heads up drag race.
