2020 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Drag Races Trio of Economy Performance Cars
We often see the Ford Mustang compared against vehicles like the Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Corvette, and Dodge Challenger and Charger. But these comparisons pit the Mustang GT and its 5.0L Coyote V8 against its similarly V8-powered rivals — so what about the Mustang EcoBoost and its turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost I-4?
The Mustang EcoBoost doesn’t really get the same sort of attention as its V8-powered brethren, so it was somewhat refreshing to see it get some run in this recent video from Throttle House. Here, the turbo-four Mustang is lined up against three economy performance car rivals — the Subaru WRX, Volkswagen GLI, and Honda Accord 2.0T for a drag race.
The Mustang is finished in Premium trim, which jacks the price up somewhat, but all of these vehicles can be had for somewhere in the $30k range. Weight and power vary considerably, however, though all are equipped with an automatic transmission and a turbocharged four-cylinder of some type. And that makes for an interesting comparison, for sure.
