And post some pretty impressive numbers. Especially the 2.3 EB. At least one of the Ford guys is a member here. ;)

And as far as power goes only a tune and offroad exhaust for the 2.3L???? Yikes. Sounded like Ken Blocks Fiesta lol. That would be great to have that engine in the new Focus RS but it sounds wrong in the Mustang.

And it's interesting the FRPP SC kit will be a Roush instead of a Whipple for 2015. I wonder why the sudden change.

Watch the video very closely at about 2:06. There is a one second shot from just behind the right rear wheel of the 2.3L. It is hopping like mad!

Notice that all of the cars had a "Performance Rear Subframe Kit" and "Performance Half Shafts".

$$$$$

If they had that kind of wheel hop *with* the aftermarket pieces, what must it be like *without* the pieces?

FYI, American Muscle, two bone stock 2015 GT's. BEST time was 13.1 at 110MPH. Worse than many 2012-2014 GT's turned bone stock. And a loaded 2015 GT costs more than a 2012-3 Boss did new.

The 2015's road hugging weight kills it. I'll say it again: if the 2016 Camaro actually loses 200-300 pounds as is rumored, and gets the new 'Vette engine as is almost certain, Ford has a lot of catch up to do right out of the chute.
