Hollywood1 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) So this is a one week impression of the AWD sport. First off, mileage, I started out at about 14mpg, added a K&N panel filter and now I'm sitting at about 18.5 after 500 miles of break-in. I had a 2011 Sport FWD base model for a year and I must say that the features on my new one (which is completely loaded) are awesome! BLIS, driver convenience key, powered tailgate and the Vista Roof are all great. The AWD is also really nice to have as I always thought that my previous Sport was having a really hard time putting power down, now I just punch it and it goes! I've got quite a bit of boxes coming, DriveBright tails-DRLS-HIDs, magnaflow exhaust, ADDCO sway bar and H&R springs. There is a local tuner here in Phoenix that wants to try to adapt the Mustang supercharger, but I'm worried the PTU won't take the power. We'll see.

akirby Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Take out the K&N and you'll still be at 18.5. It's not the filter......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arabski Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 put on lighter rims and narrower tires (like SEL) and you will reach 20 "Sport" comes at a price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Nate Did you ever end up seeing if the mustang supercharger can be fitted to the sport? Would the transmission be able to handle it?

vdoggie Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 you are crazy to add a supercharger without serious considerations from the trans to drive axle and gears etc.. That repair could cost you thousands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
