After reading a couple of articles on this new version of the Ecoboost Mustang, I might need to change my opinion and suggest it for you for another year or two instead of a V8 just yet... it seems like it could be really formidable depending on its autocross class.

Still $18,215

DS and FS are so close in performance today that I don't think it will matter which class the car goes in...and, on paper, the car looks really strong against its competitors in both classes. Although, there's still some question about whether a properly equipped Mustang could knock off the E90 M3. No one's tried after Ford may have fixed what was broken. I'm probably 90% on the 1SS 1LE train, but paying attention to the HPP EB Mustang as an alternative if the pricing works. If the pricing is a wash, it may come down to whether I want something all new or to scratch that V8 itch. if the Mustang is more expensive, it's Camaro all the way.

It looks like the new EcoBoost Mustang got a favorable classing in the recent update?

DS, yes. My car thinking in on hold for a bit right now and the plan all along has been to do something in Februaryish anyway, so... to be continued

In retrospect, I would have been better off selling the car to Carvana in September, buying a $4k beater, putting the rest into Tesla stock, selling that today and be way ahead. Oh well. But that would have been dumb to try. Pretty settled into plan of a 1SS 1LE. Decided I don't want the HPEB Mustang. Don't want to go electric without a last hurrah with a V8. Etc. Still expecting late January/early February. Not sure if it will be a 2019 or 2020. I was wrong about the fancy rear view mirror...it's not available on 1LE cars.
