Not to inject myself into your little tiff, but manufacturers have been building race cars at a loss for Years. The Ford GT is an example, built exclusively for LeMans... collectors who can afford them benefit because they have to build more of them than will ever be raced for production numbers. Remember the thunderbolt, GT350, Daytona, Superbird... none built exclusively for direct profit, but the thought that if you win races, people will come to the dealership and buy a car. Do manufacturers profit? Definitely. But not from selling Superbirds or GT's.

The V6 is an awesome motor. Guys are going to find big horsepower in a lightweight truck. If a V8 were to come out tomorrow, guys will still enjoy the lighter V6 and some will like their new V8, and the argument will continue. GM sold a lot of small block Camaros even when a big block was an option. Small blocks made for a better handling car even though a big block made more power. Ford and Mopar likewise. today you can buy a GT350 or a GT500... which one is better? The nimble GT350 or the SuperSnake?
Another worthless ******** V8 thread... yawn
You need to read better and look at the current engine lineup. I guess you're not aware of the 3.5 V6 NA engine are you?Lol i see rivers of tears coming
V6 is getting skinnied up from 3.5 to 3.3 (doubt they keep that as a raptor option) and yes...na 5.0 v8
The "magic" in the 17 raptor is the transmission... Nothing more
This is no longer rumors

Here's what I read. Blah blah 3.3 blah v6 blah 2.7 blah blah.
...and the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8

So you just spew irrelevant shit on forums and freely admit to it? The internet is truly an amazing thing; unfortunately it does not discriminate in allowing ********* to use it.
I posted the link so read it. I could give a shit what v6 is coming out...the fact is that the v8 is back. Making your v6tt the new bastard 5.4. so do me a favor and turn up your radio so the fake v8 sounds drown out your sobbing

Numb nuts, the V8 never left the F150 lineup. It's getting revised with DI just like the Mustang. It's not going in the Raptor. The Ecoboost 3.5 HO is going to be the same for MY18. That's the Raptor engine, following?
