[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1552933, member: 31322"] And everyone should also know WHY they had to use it then? and everyone should also F’n realize at this point Ford themselves - along w/ every other non-fanboy- understands that they’ve transitioned well away from leaning on V8 engines when it comes to their “cutting edge” designs & the bulk of their performance portfolio yeah it’s great the GT500 has 760hp and all. So doesn’t any camaro (or mustang GT for that matter) w/ a blower lol if Ford was confident in relying on V8 engines - forced induction or otherwise - to produce the same combo of power/efficiency/reliability as they were in the smaller displacement EB turbo (or future PW hybrid) platforms then they certainly wouldn’t have spent all the time/$$$/energy developing these other engines or they would’ve relied on cylinder deactivation & less rotating internals etc like GM-Mopar for the last few years & met their cafe standards while still holding their market share. but they’re not confident their V8s could compete @ the same level of efficiency meeting performance & reliability that their competition has so they chose another route.....I’d say it’s been a good choice thus far for Ford Even if they make a 5.2 SCd Raptor- won’t be me in it lol! I’ll wait for the bugs to get worked out on both the TRX & Gen3 [/QUOTE]
