Ecoboost rumors!

[BentToast]

Yeah cause an engine named ecoboost, short for Economyboost, (THE NAME) fits the Raptor real well

Never said anything bad about the mechanics or theory of operation about the engine so take a chill.

The original concept was shown as the TwinBoost, but Ford marketing didnt think that would sell

That wouldn't surprise me. Twinboost sounds cooler though imo.

Yes, but you can always think of it as a sleeper. The Prius wont slow you down just because you have a big Earth killing engine, you can blow past them and they think your late for a tree hug convention. But your really going to pick up a new cat back w/muffler bypass exhaust system. See?

You make good points... But if I look like too much of a fellow earth muffin they might follow me around till I joined their basket weaving and conga drum circle

Ha ha! There is alot of reason to call it ecoboost and we all know what those reasons are. I don't like the name of it either and that name doesn't sound good in the raptor. I hope the do decide to change the name unless they dead set on keeping it.

Who the hell in a Prius is gonna catch you? I mean if you know what it is, you know what it is and if you dont your probably better off not knowing. It doesnt have the ring to it that Boss or Triton does, but it has the power. You know what else had a twin turbo v6?

That silver hackuar looks like a Back to the Future prop gone wrong.

Have to remember, unlike the Prius, that gets 487634 miles to the gallon, eventually the eco'd Raptor would need to stop and fill up at the gas station. It's there that the planet muffins would mount their attack like a pack of pissed off, hungry hamsters infested with rabies. Next thing you know your driving a Subaru plastered with "bread not bombs" stickers and your radio is giving a play by play of the Oprah Winfrey walk a thon.

When that car came out, it was the fastest production car in the world and does 220mph... SO one helluva prop car then?

No self obsess- respecting Prius driver wold be caught dead at a gas station. Or you could fill up at a BP station just to make sure...
