So I have a friend from my undergrad years. Nice person, a bit nerdy, not your typical car guy, but since he bought his Ecoboost Mustang he’s been getting more into cars. Cool, right?? But unfortunately, this has manifested into trying to trash-talk my 1LE, which... no. Stahp.
I’m no stranger to bullshitting between friends, but bro, do you even V8? Travis suggested inviting this friend to Lapeer Dragway and letting that settle that, but he just moved to Philly. Soooo... anyone know of a decent quarter mile between SE Michigan and Philly?

This sounds like a trap. Is he oblivious to the world of tuning? If not proceed with caution.

National trials raceway east of Columbus right off 70 and conveniently close to where I live. Tell him if he doesn’t show he is a chicken shit.

Lol yea, and he’s the type to facebook share every time he so much as washes this car so I think he’s just getting into the muscle car rivalry thing unaware that he is bringing a pretty nice Swiss army knife to a gunfight.
Autocross w. PAX times would probably be cool though.

Does he have a skrub manual Ecoboost or a skrub automatic Ecoboost?

Oh no. That guy.
From my experiences the guy who washes his car every weekend and needs to post about it every time usually doesn’t know that much about cars. Watch, in a month, he’ll tell you you need to retrofit your headlights or some shit.
Crush his soul, yamahog.

Any time someone mentions the ecoboost mustang, I always want to respond with this:

I second this location as they seem to do a decent job of running the tuning days/nights (albeit it has been a few years since I was there). Also... Buckeye territory (I say Schmuckeye in jest :P ).

Mustang Guy: “What a fat POS your Camaro is. I bet-”
You: “Your mustang has a 4 cylinder in it. Your argument is invalid”
MG: “Yeah, but I’m saying-
You: “Ahh Hem. 4 cylinder. Invalid.”
MG: “Well at least my car has an interior that-”
You: “4 Gerbils.”
MG “-isn’t made from power wheels plastic-”
You: “Me = *Shows 8 fingers*, You = *shows 4 fingers*”
MG: “-and it’s isn’t overdue for a visit to Bally fitness-”
You: “Do all 4 cylinder guys tell the same joke twice in once convo and think it’s funny?”
MG: “TURBO! My car has a turbocharger in it!”
You: “Because it needs one. It’s like a bandaid in lieu of an actual solution to the problem (that solution being; add 4 more cylinders)“
MG: “Goddamn you and your fucking V8 bullshit, I could take my Mustang to any tuning house and make all the power I wanted!”
You: “And I could undo all of that with a bottle of Nitrous.”
MG: “YOU FUCKING BUDWISER DRINKING MULLET SPORTING UNCULTURED JOE DIRT IMITATING-”
You: *
revs V8*
WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU. SPEAK UP!
MG: “YOU FUCKING-
*
rev*
MG: “YOU-”
*
rev*
MG: “STOP IT!”
*

MG: “THIS IS BULLSHIT!”

It kills me when manufacturers slap a turbo badge on something like its proof the car is now legitimately fast.

Or when they incorporate turbo into the actually name of the car! That gets me every time.

Ahhh like the Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata. 0-60 times are in the mid 7s with the high end turbo motor while the Accord and Camry with their V6 achieve the same feat in less than 6s. Their all rated around the same HP. Guess no replacement for displacement after all.

Race for pinks. Once you win trade his car in and correct his mistake by getting him a V8 this time. He’ll be forever grateful that you showed him the light.
Maybe he thinks this is the 80s where the SVO was handing out whoopings to all the V8 Stangs’ and Camaros. The online forums thinks it’s round 2 but they are sadly mistaken.

Lol.
Why is it even up for debate? Unless he's swapped a turbo there's no way he's beating you.

But what is the price difference between them? The money that the mustang cost vs the camaro could be sent to BAMA performance and they will turn the ecoboost into a beast. Just a tune and intake gets it to high 12’s....
or just get a DSM and walk the camaro all day long

I dont care how advanced engines are now... Mustang without a v8 will always be a joke to me.

Performance aside, I’d rather have the Mustang.
Because it's not a Camaro.
