Holy hell! Did I make a mistake not jumping on gen 1. There's a 14 with 22k miles at my local carmax. Should I get it and watch the mayhem of gen 2 launch from the sidelines or just wait till spring 17 to order? When do you guys think if at all a v8 will be announced?

Oh yeah, I dunno why but I'm getting obsessed with window cleaning and care. That 3m film is so trick. I like the idea of driving with no sunglasses required. Full 3m crystalline all around, the vampire special no uv bud!

If the hp/tq rumors are true I kinda agree. 450/500 makes me forget all about v8 worries.

yeah but the sound and the torque of the 6.2 liter doesn't. I am not an eco BOOT fan even with its twin turbos and fancy 10 speed Schwinn transmission.

The Raptor was always meant to be a smoke snorting beast, if I want more power then a Supercharger can do more than a v6 Twin Turbo ever could.

I went through a supercharged v8 phase but too many horror stories about the roush raptors/f150's takin a dump right outside the warranty. something with power and a factory warranty sounds way better than v8 exhaust. Plus I live in Cali so yeah I'll take the ecoboost.
