BMW's V10 also had next to nothing for torque.
U're missing the point. Nobody said it was a better engine. Exactly the opposite actually. Trying to make decent power from small engines in an N/A platform comes at an expense and it's typically fuel mileage. Especially if you want it to make some torque down low.
Bottom line is Cadillac gave owners a twin turbo v6 in its vsport but when it came time to give an old man a real car they provided the market w/ a real car. Hell, even in wagon form for years. The new CTS-V comes w/ more balls under the hood than 95% of this forum's trucks have and we're are all modded - and way more than the new Raptor that's 2 years away.
If any FORD engineer is reading this. You and your team should be ashamed of yourselves for delivering a bad ass truck that screams "I AM MAN!" w/ less gumption than Cadillac is providing in its sedans.
All I hear is bailout for GM, government owns GM blahblah - then I hear you guys saying blame Obama and the EPA standards for us not getting a badass V8 in the Raptor. Well truth be told - something doesn't add up. If Obama and the EPA ran GM - how come GM is giving them the middle finger over and over again and giving cars real powerplants that belong in a truck such as the Raptor. Shame on you ford for throwing up the white flag and giving in.
I love my raptor - yes it's supercharged and it sounds like it looks (badass). I actually think the new Raptor looks better and more aggressive from the front. Sadly it's all looks w/ a bitch-made v6 under the hood. I may still get one and mod away, but seriously Ford??
