Hi,

Just wondering since Ford is now rolling Mustangs to other countries as well, and MY is slotted to receive first shipment by the end of this year. We will also be receiving both flavors of the Mustang, the 5.0L V8 and the 2.3L EcoBoost engine. Which will be a better choice? I know hardcore fans will go for V8 for the raw powahh ... but is the 2.3L EB engine a worthy powermill to look at too? Don't know much about Ford EB tech so dunno if the power output from the EB in the new Mustang good enuff for it ... And pricing will be around RM200k for the EB version, i would assume?

Great looking cars from Ford lately and the 6th generation Mustang is no exception. Though this type of car should only cater for serious enthusiasts.

5.0 V8 vs 2.3 Ecoboost - this question has been discussed on the Ford enthusiast forums and generally the differences are in the higher power and torque + macho loud engine roar from the V8 vs adequately sufficient power and better fuel consumption + not so macho engine sound of the 2.3 Ecoboost.

2.3 Ecoboost road tax = RM680 / yearly

5.0 V8 road tax = RM11,130 / yearly

With that road tax on the 5.0 V8, prospective owners would need to draw a minimum of RM60k/monthly salary to own it presuming he's not going to touch his money in his savings/FD account.
