The 2017 Eco-Boost vs V8 Bench Racing / Whining thread

I'd say but this topic is soooooo

But let's start another thread about it.

100% agree. It has what it has, get over it.

Your body acts as an antenna extending the range of the remote.

Well that's kind of freaky, no? Still that's kind of weird. Weird because I'm sure someone is like why is that guy sticking that key to his chin? Personally I feel ridiculous doing it, but it works so what can you do?

I really wish you people would drive an Ecoboost F150...

100% agree. It has what it has, get over it.

I'm more worried about where the SCREW is in the 2017 picture

We can speculate all we want, but last time I checked, we don't have anyone here who works for Ford that will spill the beans (aside from the 15+ "my friend's wife's brother's nephew works for Ford and he said....." guys).

When the news broke it probably took a HAZMAT crew to clean up all the vomit in the SVT offices and shops.

Actually, I did drive an Ecoboost FX4 and a 5.0 FX4 before buying my Raptor. I was not impressed by either. I have no idea what all the hype was about.

I did the same. I had a little fun in a "tremor" but felt way too much like the V6 Frontier I traded in. Not bad trucks or motors by any means but doesnt make me hard like a V8 does.

I think everyone forgets this is a NEW 3.5L ecoboost and not the current Ecoboost. But for a current comparison (the new ecoboost will be even better) lets see how the 3.5L ecoboost compares to the 6.2L.

Ecoboost:
Torque 460lb-.ft @ 2500rpm
HP 380 @ 5250rpm

6.2L:
Torque 435lb-.ft @ 4500rpm
HP 411 @ 5500rpm

So you get more torque at a hell of a lot lower rpm. What is there to hate about that? The new motor will be even better than current numbers so thats something to be happy about.

I get it though, the ecoboost doesnt sound manly so you lose your man card. Im married and comfortable with my sexuality so I have nothing to prove. Sign me up for the new Raptor.

The new Raptor will go great with my yellow Beetle...
