It only speaks to a very specific application, not every vehicle ever made. You can't expect a v12 in your mass produced truck because some supercar has one. Trying to use this supercar analogy w/ a Raptor just doesn't work.

I said "6 cylinder iconic cars"... and you want me to name them? Sure: Supra, 911, Skyline GTR, E46 M3, GT-R, NSX, XJ220, how many do you want?

Supra = inline 6
911 = flat 6
Skyline GTR = inline 6
E46 M3 = inline 6
GT-R = yay, actually a V6
NSX = another V6
XJ220 = V6

Went home for lunch one day, they were in the mailbox. I proceeded to eat all but 4 of them within 15 minutes.

You will never appreciate the restraint I had to show when I came home, found the cookies in my mailbox and knew I had to send them half way around the world to someone who truly deserved them!

Exactly, you chose to take my words and change them to suit your argument. No one is saying there aren't iconic v6 cars, but v6 supercars and hypercars are nearly non existent, and that is because when you're talking about going all out (not building to budget or to meet the specs of a race series) you don't go v6. You don't have to expect a v12 in this mass produced truck, it wouldn't be practical, but what you can expect is one of the many v8's already in existence that are better than this eb **** to be dropped into a truck which has a fanbase that prefers v8s. Now of that list you produced, one of those is actually a supercar, and it was originally designed around a v12 itself.

Are any of those not "6 cylinder iconic cars"???

Great contribution Jimbo.

you're pretty confident because you're to busy choking on hameedis hameaty to listen to anyone.

Well Hameedi would know more about the all new 2017 Gen II Ford Performance Raptor than anyone here. His job is to make the truck better. He and his team throughout the years have made all of their products better. Including the original but no longer produced Gen I Raptor when they were working on the 6.2 and swapped out the 5.4 for it.

Well, if you'd read the actual thing you were trying to prove a point on, @RLTW said,

...Name me one true iconic super car carting around under v6 power (aside from the nsx, which is barely a borderline supercar).

So, again, maybe we should be thanking you for your LACK of contribution.
