Porsche has long been the king of doing more with less. Getting more performance per liter of gas is their claim to fame.

However, the eco-boost technology which Ford is bringing to their product line is a real game changer.

I've seen the bottom of the Mustang, it is less aero than the top, old fashion. The Porsche has all sorts of belly pans for smooth flow. In this debate, aerodynamics takes a back seat to engine technology.
