Both 2.3 EB and 5.0 are scheduled to hit major RHD markets (developed world) by the summer of 2015.

I am an Americophile. I dress Ivy-league look. I fantasize the good old Murica (particularly, MADMEN/Mid century era).

On Stang, I think V8 epitomizes the essence of muscle cars. So, 5.0 grows on me more than 2.3 EB.

4 Banger Stang does not have EPIC soundtrack that the All-American V8 has


Just compare this 2.3 Ecoboost
 


To this 5.0


You will know which one is better!

ถ้าเป็นหกสูบเรียงเสียงคงน่าคบกว่านี้หน่อย

แต่ถ้างั้นเป็นวีหกดีกว่า เหมือนเทียน่าตัวเก่านู่น

Please let me share my first hand experience:  I used to have two Camaros back when I was studying in the States (1993-1996).  Bought the V6 model first, thinking yesss....I am biting into a real american beef, with cheap price (paid 13K for it).  Not quite.  To my disappointmet, it was not an experience I was expecting. The V6 didn't feel right, didn't pull with titanic low end torque and last but not least, it didn't sound properly to suit the word "American Muscle".  Two weeks after that, I had to trade my V6 for the LT1 Z28  and laughted like a mad man out of the dealer lot all the way home.  The V8 burbled, roared and pulled viciously from the stand still with authority.  Wheel spin, burning out tyres are just a mash of the throttle away.  Still make me smile thinking back of that feeling when i'm writing this memoir hehehe

If you want efficiency go with the turbo.  But if you want a real american taste go V8.  You CAN'T just look at the acceleration numbers and simply compare them thinking, geeze..... the 2.3 turbo acceleration is just very close to the V8, I should buy the 2.3 turbo then...... No, It doesn't work that way.  There are some qualitative parameters that you just can't measure with numbers!  


Moral to the story:  There is no replacement for displacement,

Trust me, I've paid for my lesson.

มันอยู่ที่ความพึงพอใจล้วนๆเลยมากกว่า เหมือนบิ๊กไบค์ ถ้าให้เลือก 2 สูบ กับ 4 สูบ ส่วนใหญ่เลือก 4 สูบกันหมด

ถ้าราคารถไม่โดนภาษีโหดร้ายแบบในไทยยังไงผ้มก็เลือกเครื่อง5000ครับ    เรื่องเสียงเครื่องไม่สนใจแต่สนใจที่พลกำลังมากกว่า 

[seamonkey]

If I plan to use in US, I prefer NA over turbo since the maintaince is a lot easier and less complicate (I can do most of maintaince in garage). BUT if I buy for use in Thailand, I will buy turbo version since it drink less fuel when run at low rpm.
And the traffic condition is a lot difference. Cruise in US highway is a lot difference then Cruise in Thailand.

 สำหรับใช้ในบ้านเรา ecoboost ดูสมเหตุสมผลกว่าครับ

 เครื่อง 2.3L ecoboost ตัวนี้ยังทำต่อได้ง่าย สเต็ปแรกปลดล็อกอย่างเดียวมีเห็น 3 ร้อยม้ากลางๆแล้ว ถ้าขยับบูสต์เทอร์โบก็ไปถึง 4 ร้อยม้าได้ครับ

 ส่วนเสน่ห์ของเครื่องใหญ่ สูบมาก คือแรงบิดที่ลองเหยียบลงไปแล้วดึงยาวไม่มีหมด มันเป็นความรู้สึกคนละแบบจริงๆครับ

เสียงต่างนะครับ 2.3 ใช้เสียงหลอกในรถ

[dht_tubes]

มันแจ่มจริงๆเลยเครื่องเบิ้มเนี่ย ถ้าไหวทั้งค่าสินสอด กับค่าเลี้ยงดูเนี่ย น่าลองอยู่นะครับ

If I were to buy a mustang, I won't even look at the 4 pot.
