Hey guise, so...

Hey guise, so, the new Ford Raptor only comes with a twin turbo V6 with 450 horsepower and 510 pounds of torque and gets like 20 miles per gallon...in a giant truck... that's considered a commercial vehicle due to its width...

Sooo like, why don't they put this engine in the Mustang?

Just wondering.

>MUH V8

next gen mustang gt will be v6 turbo mark my words

MUH V8 IS A MODERN CLASSIC RARE

DONT TOUCH MUH V8 BOY

YOU CAN RIP MUH V8 FROM MY COLD DEAD FINGERS BOY

How long until the mustang is a KERS hybrid sportscar with a turbo v6?

Because it's fucking huge and heavy and expensive while the V8 is much smaller and cheaper and reliable and just as powerful and efficient
The real question is why they put the V6 in the raptor

MUH

MUH V8

because it would be a direct competitor to GTR and would wreck the shit out of it for a fraction of price which would sink nissan retards into ground from butthurt

also MUH

Lol v6 TT fags. Why not quad turbo 2 cylinders?

Do raptors ever leave parking lots? I have literally never seen one on a trail.

Boomers need the big 5 . 0 badge on the side

They don't
They're pretty boy trucks

it's not even marketed as a trail crawler it's supposed to be a monster energy baja racer

And the people who own them never let them see dirt

false

It's not considered a commerical truck. It's just over 6 6 or 2032 mm so has to have clearance lights.

I just wanted to point this out, and tell you I don't like you, op.
Get your shit straight.

>MUH TRUK

The real life mileage on that thing is going to be horrible.

why the fuck would I want a tarbo when I can have a glorious naturally aspirated American V8?

Oh come on, Ford switching to the TT6 gained 1mpg.

13mpg, babay!

>let's ignore the fact that it makes 510 lb ft of torque

that's right because torque wins races

which is why no one can hope to compete with the raptor

ford>gm

both the raptor and ford gt engines are marketing gimmicks to make EcoBoost® more palatable to american consumers as the mpg regulations inevitably force classics to adopt smaller displacement turbos.

So does the ancient GM 6.0 V8 with a tune.

>even considering mpg's when shopping for a truck

Sure you didn't get lost on the way to the crossover/minivan section of the lot? That sounds a lot more fitting for "your type".

>gm v8
Has to be modified and won't pass emissions. Try again.

>no! mpg only matters when i say it does!
sperg harder pushcuck

You should really be reconsidering your life choices if you live in a cuckhole with emission testing. A truck should be pretty low on that list.

>pushcuck sperging this hard
OHC>pushrods.

daily reminder that an ohc ford engine holds the world record for fastest standing mile time. stay triggered pushcuck

A Ford Raptor with an Inline-4 would be a dream come true. Less weight, more speed.

>wow user, thats a cool truck. what kinda motor you got in there?
>ts ford's latest 3.5L twin turbo ecoboost. kinda a big deal
>oh....isnt that the same engine they use in their plumbers vans?
>lol no way. just look at the raptor. this thing is a TANK. its a premium truck.
>no im pretty sure they just retuned the same engine that sells in $17k plumbers vans to give you an extra 100 horsepower
>ITS A PREMIUM TRUCK THEY WOULDNT DO THAT TO ME. I PAID $60K FOR THIS THING WTF

lol raptor owners btfo

>passing emissons
>emisson tests in trumps america

u wot?

lel

>gm can't compete with a 400k dollar car powered by a fucking plumber van
BWAHAHHAHAHAHAA
Stay btfo

thedrive.com/news/8091/trump-expected-to-roll-back-pollution-vehicle-emissions-rules

yeah im really btfo here...

>Ford Raptor
>65k


But but but but but but but, I can get for over a $1,000 less than that without every single goodie goodies, right?

>pushcuck talking to himself
lel

That's one badass plumber's van, m8.

>gm fangirls couldn't defend this
gm BTFO by a fucking van

LMAO

It actually is pretty cool. I've been completely fascinated by it for a while now although no one else seems to think so. If you ever see one on the road that is going slow, just know that the driver is a complete pussy. I fell for the le commercial van is big therefore it must be slow meme which isn't true at all

Fingers crossed for the 2.3T in the Ranger/ Bronco.

Wonder if they can crack 30mpg with that engine.

Raptors are aesthetically pleasing but this fucking TT V6 nonsense is getting under my skin.

Snatch your V8's while they exist, because by the looks of where we're heading it won't for very long. Hopefully Trump (despite how much I hate him) will at the very least slow that process down. I know it may seem childish, but the sound and torque of motors like picrelated is something I don't think I can ever give up in a personal car.

>My

You're doing it wrong.

>not buying the VAN and saying "Yeah it's got the same engine as the Raptor, twin turbos."
>not getting a badass mural on the side
>not smoking corvettes at the stoplight
Dude you're thinking about this in completely the wrong way, I'm telling you.

tfw bought a transit 250 the other day but it was the 2.7l v6 not the 3.5 ecoboost

oh well. im still makin 300/300 at the wheels

>mpg regulations
Not anymore thanks to the commander and cheif.

They still are in effect dumbfuck

>republicans are this stupid

>muh v6

>muh feels
Fuck off retarded baby boomer
V6 is superior deal with it

MUH V8
this

sorry to ruin your fun, you colossal retard, but the 2017 F150 3.5L Ecoboost is a completely redesigned engine with nothing in common with the first gen Ecoboost. try again.

bump

F/I means more heat, more space taken up, and the Coyote can easily hit 450hp with a tune anyway while still being N/A, why not use it?

well thats probably a write off, kek what a fucking moron

>450hp with a tune
not in an F150.

MY VEE EIGHT

Most are just the NA 3.7 I drive one for work

>Tfw I tried to talk then into a 3.5 Ecoboost or even the 5cyl diesel just to make work interesting. Hell I liked the Chevy 3500 Van with the giant vortec 6.xx L that thing was a bear

It's lack the GT-R's advanced AWD system though.

Question: why doesn't any ponycar manufacturer offer AWD on their top trim levels?

>daily reminder that an ohc ford engine holds the world record for fastest standing mile time.
That's because it takes a full mile to get a heavily modified ford up to 290 mph. Meanwhile, a heavily modified pushrod Hemi does 300mph after 1000 feet. They literally had to shorten Top Fuel tracks to keep the trap speeds in check.

A stripper 300hp Ranger would be nice.

Even though I dislike Ford's move to the V6, think of it this way:
You can now get a detuned XJ220 Transit, off the dealership floor, with a warranty, for a fraction of the original's price.

>being this delusional

oh honey....

lol, then the pushrod piece of shit breaks down immediately after.
LMAO

awd TT v6 mustang when
they already killed it with the flat crank

>still in effect
Yes they are, but the question is for how much longer.

stay mad sweetie

.

don't know if I'd want a 6.0 or ecomeme desu. our e350 is sketchy as absolute fuck around the corners. very topheavy imo. definitely rollover risk.

Drumpf is failing at everything he attempts so don't get your hopes up

Alphonse you dumb nigger

You can pry my V8 from my cold dead fingers.

Pic related. It's me and my ride.

drumfkins on suicide watch

Fuckin aussies and their goofy ass utes

You're a retard for not understanding why V engines are twin turbo almost universally.

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember those being sold in NA desu...

It was a joke. It just looks like a ute

.

Trump's repealing CAFE, and the Mustang is so dependent on Boomer love, I have a feeling Ford was going this direction, but won't now to compete with Chevy and Dodge, assuming they're still around by the time they can roll out the next Challenger.

>Republicans are this stupid

Its a pretty boy truck

A V6 mustang that smokes the dog engine and gets over 30mpg? Can't be having that!

.

They should turbo the coyote

>gets like 20 miles per gallon

Still more than the """Eco"""boost in the GT.

Kek ford cant wreck anything except crowds
Enjoy your shitty "joint venture" tech and stolen designs

stay btfo

MUH

>slower than a fucking 25+ year old GMC truck and SUV powered by a pushrod v6

>Syclone: 0-60 in 4.3 seconds with 13 seconds to quarter
>Ford Craptor 0-60 in 5.1 seconds with 13.8 in the quarter

Cant make this shit up. Ford keks on suicide watch by 90s GM

>still inferior offroad
stay btfo. lmao

>S L O W E R

top jej. Faster than anything made by ford at the time
>took ford 25 years to build a truck that still cant compete with a pushrod v6 truck

>slower
yes your push shit truck is slower offroad. the only relevant performance metric for an offroad truck.

HE CANT COMPETE ON ROAD

TOP FUCKING KEK. Tell ford to hurry up and build a truck that can compete
>The lightning couldnt even do it

Ford confirmed shit
GM are mad men building the fastest accelerating vehicle in the 90s

Why can't ford compete?

>literally admits gm can't compete at all
lmao. reminder that gm can't beat the raptor offroad or around a track

>add shocks and tires on syclone
>still smokes craptor

Why can't ford compete 25 years later?
>literally cant build a pavement truck either
>so assmad he needs to bring up modern ford products that still cant compete

Your delusions aren't reality. The Raptor is unparalleled offroad.

>gm fag so desperate he brings up modified vehicles
lmao

reminder that the fastest vehicle in the 90s was the ford rs200 with a 0-60 time of 3.0 flat. reminder that push shit can't compete with ohc.

they have a turbo 4-cylinder though

my guess is theyre too busy working on a turbo'd V8 for now, theyll probably get to it eventually

>Durr modified
>brings up a car specifically built for racing
>only built 200. Costing over 100k
>0-60 in 3.8 seconds
>444hp vs 280hp
>near half the weight
>barely faster than a FUCKING PICK UP TRUCK
Ford should just end their life here
>GMC syclone built for asspain. 26k for one and smoking literally everything

Ford cant even compete. Heres a list
>faster than a gt350
>faster than mustang GT
>Faster than focus RS
>faster than raptor

Raptor has 1 more turbo and nearly 2 times the horsepower and is slower. Is ford retarded or sumthin?
>literally the only ford product that can beat a 10k rustbucket is a 400k supercar

Daily reminder ford cant compete.

>p-please let me include my modified vehicles
nope. sperg harder
>still slower than a Raptor offroad
lmao. how can gm compete?

daily reminder that gm's 10k rustbucket gets btfo by a overpriced turbocharged dyson vacuum cleaner with a body kit. LMAO. YOU LITERALLY CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP!

WAIT A SECOND. EVEN THE ROAD GOING RS200 WAS SLOWER THAN A SYCLONE
>horsepower limited to 250 on road legal versions
>Racing version had 450hp and was barely faster

YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP
