Torn '14 SE vs '17

[juice]

I'll decide after I see a lot of others mod their 2017 and see how much boost and power are capable from the stock Motors. I bought my truck to put a Whipple on it. The charger whine is like sex to the ears and pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. I have an F10 M5 and 2012 STi Hatch RallyX Car. Still... Charger whine is ****

I had a Supercharged Frontier so I know what that sounds like, but it will never do what a turbo can do. I use to have an STI as well and have a 15 Forester XT, now and the turbo 2.0 liter DIT motor is very very nice for a 4 cylinder.

Never give up the STi

thanks for a 2nd laugh!

Sure, when's the last time you drove a 3.5L EcoBoost? How about a tuned one?

Guys with lots of mods in the 12's, number of them in the 13's that are only stock plus tune...and looking at 4x4's only.

Without doing a bunch of research here's a Raptor with a tune & a few mods at 14.82...

And here's Hennessey's VelociRaptor - 2014 VelociRaptor 600 as seen on TopGear | Vehicles for Sale | Hennessey Performance
Power:
• 623 bhp @ 5,700 rpm
Performance:
• 0-60 mph: 5.2 seconds
• 1/4 mile: 13.6 @ 103 mph

I am well aware there's more to it than just 1/4 mile times, but damn some 3.5L Eco's with a simple tune are holding there own/winning...

I wonder how those Ecoboosts would do with the same heavy suspension components and 35" tires that the Raptor has.

Good question, I wish they would've posted the wheel base length as well as the added foot in wheelbase for the screws with the long box would even out the weight some...
