Ecoboost isn't going anywhere

I’m sure the GT500 will impress, but bang for the buck, the GT is looking pretty attractive.

460 puts the GT in the same sight lines as the C7 vette, though the Mustang is still significantly down on torque (Vette makes 460 ft-lbs). And a Mustang GT costs at least $15k less than a Vette right? Good value.

That 5.0 is definitely a winner. My brother is about to order a 2018 F150 Platinum 5.0. We're going to Whipple it and do a relatively mild suspension build. I'm actually pretty pumped about this project. But at the same time I'm a little worried. There may finally be another truck I like better than my current one. With the new 10 speed, 600 RWHP, and the light weight, I expect his truck to be pretty damn quick.

The one VMP was playing with back in 2016 was seriously quick. Before the VMP tune it was running low 12's. I think it later ran mid 11's with their tune. Pretty insane.

That Ecoboost...and to think my 08 GT I bought brand new after graduating college had 300hp from a 4.6L V8.

That thing is an absolute beast!

Innovation brings out the critics. At the end of the day I think the Ecoboost is the way of the future, and far superior to the large displacement V8. It will take time, but people will start to see it.

Guessing you didn't read the article, just the thread title...

Yeah I did read the article. It talks about the coyote and the new 10 speed auto. It also mentions the sub 5 second to 60 time of the eco boost.

How do you gather that I didnt read anything by posting my opinion on a public forum?

I wouldn't say the Eco-4 is 'far superior to large displacement V8s' exactly...

It's cool that it's a sub-5 sec engine, but the same article has a v-8 that's sub 4sec...

Now that it's clear we both can read, and both read the very short article. Never did I say that the eco boost is faster. Yes the coyote is faster but it's only a matter of time before the eco boost catches up. It's already closer than it was before.

There are also other factors which could make it a better motor, reliabllity, fuel economy and others.

Now the 4 cyl eco boost isn't faster but the 6 cyl is far superior. Hell its even better than the **** 6.2 in the first gen Raptor. Now that Ford got the Raptor out of the way, it's working on the Mustang.

Just like the Raptor community, there are tons of hard headed "American cars must be v8" "it's not a mustang unless it's v8" people out there. If people weren't so hard headed the v6 eco boost would be in the mustang and the mustang be far superior.
