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?
next gen mustang gt will be v6 turbo mark my words
Brandon Gonzalez
MUH V8 IS A MODERN CLASSIC RARE
DONT TOUCH MUH V8 BOY
YOU CAN RIP MUH V8 FROM MY COLD DEAD FINGERS BOY
Carter Powell
How long until the mustang is a KERS hybrid sportscar with a turbo v6?
Jack Clark
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
Christian Ward
MUH
John Fisher
MUH V8
Cooper Adams
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
Noah Stewart
Lol v6 TT fags. Why not quad turbo 2 cylinders?
Asher Cruz
Do raptors ever leave parking lots? I have literally never seen one on a trail.
Logan Foster
Boomers need the big 5 . 0 badge on the side
Jonathan Gonzalez
They don't They're pretty boy trucks
Lincoln Williams
it's not even marketed as a trail crawler it's supposed to be a monster energy baja racer
Wyatt Russell
And the people who own them never let them see dirt
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.
Logan White
>MUH TRUK
Cameron Cooper
The real life mileage on that thing is going to be horrible.
Jace Stewart
why the fuck would I want a tarbo when I can have a glorious naturally aspirated American V8?
Eli Stewart
Oh come on, Ford switching to the TT6 gained 1mpg.
13mpg, babay!
Ryan Gomez
>let's ignore the fact that it makes 510 lb ft of torque
Austin Wood
that's right because torque wins races
Jackson Davis
which is why no one can hope to compete with the raptor
ford>gm
Asher Williams
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.
Charles Diaz
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".
Eli Nelson
>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
Carson Turner
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.
Jaxon Scott
>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
Levi Ward
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
Kevin Rodriguez
>passing emissons >emisson tests in trumps america
u wot?
Evan Rodriguez
lel
Eli Hall
>gm can't compete with a 400k dollar car powered by a fucking plumber van BWAHAHHAHAHAHAA Stay btfo
But but but but but but but, I can get for over a $1,000 less than that without every single goodie goodies, right?
Ian Parker
>pushcuck talking to himself lel
Adrian Flores
That's one badass plumber's van, m8.
Nolan Allen
>gm fangirls couldn't defend this gm BTFO by a fucking van
LMAO
Isaac Davis
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
Aiden Turner
Fingers crossed for the 2.3T in the Ranger/ Bronco.
Adrian Cox
Wonder if they can crack 30mpg with that engine.
Christian Kelly
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.
Leo Davis
>My
Asher White
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.
Jack Hill
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
Angel Smith
>mpg regulations Not anymore thanks to the commander and cheif.
Brandon Roberts
They still are in effect dumbfuck
>republicans are this stupid
Samuel Sanders
>muh v6
Brandon Thompson
>muh feels Fuck off retarded baby boomer V6 is superior deal with it
Joseph Rivera
MUH V8 this
Alexander Peterson
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.
Kayden Rogers
bump
John Lopez
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?
Connor Powell
well thats probably a write off, kek what a fucking moron
Easton Moore
>450hp with a tune not in an F150.
Parker Lewis
MY VEE EIGHT
Blake Morales
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
Evan Evans
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?
David Cooper
>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.
Leo Parker
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.
Aaron Jenkins
>being this delusional
oh honey....
Lincoln Flores
lol, then the pushrod piece of shit breaks down immediately after. LMAO
James Cox
awd TT v6 mustang when they already killed it with the flat crank
Nathan Ramirez
>still in effect Yes they are, but the question is for how much longer.
Daniel Myers
stay mad sweetie
Xavier Butler

Luke Scott
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.
Jackson Reyes
Drumpf is failing at everything he attempts so don't get your hopes up
Nathan Harris
Alphonse you dumb nigger
Luke Fisher
You can pry my V8 from my cold dead fingers.
Pic related. It's me and my ride.
Isaiah Anderson

Leo Davis
Fuckin aussies and their goofy ass utes
Luis Reed
You're a retard for not understanding why V engines are twin turbo almost universally.
Isaac Rodriguez
I could be wrong, but I seem to remember those being sold in NA desu...
Alexander Gray
It was a joke. It just looks like a ute
Gabriel Stewart

Brayden Williams
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.
Samuel Miller
>Republicans are this stupid
Ayden Evans
Its a pretty boy truck
Chase Reed
A V6 mustang that smokes the dog engine and gets over 30mpg? Can't be having that!
Liam Hill

Bentley Torres
They should turbo the coyote
Xavier Flores
>gets like 20 miles per gallon
Still more than the """Eco"""boost in the GT.
Jacob Myers
Kek ford cant wreck anything except crowds Enjoy your shitty "joint venture" tech and stolen designs
Angel Bell
stay btfo
Colton Campbell
MUH
Noah Martinez
>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
Nathan Turner
>still inferior offroad stay btfo. lmao
Nicholas Foster
>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
Noah Price
>slower yes your push shit truck is slower offroad. the only relevant performance metric for an offroad truck.
Noah Carter
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?
Sebastian Hill
>literally admits gm can't compete at all lmao. reminder that gm can't beat the raptor offroad or around a track
Lincoln Long
>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
Tyler Bailey
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.
Gavin James
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
Alexander Mitchell
>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.
Sebastian Rivera
>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!
Colton Rivera
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
