2015 Lincoln EcoBoost vs the Ike Gauntlet
The EcoBoost performance was pretty impressive and I couldn't help notice how relatively low the RPM's were too. Link

I am sure the Eco had gears left.
Do the math on the gears.. It didn't. 4K rpms is what it was running in 3rd at 65 to hold speed, but not accelerate.
The ratio on 2nd means it would have been above redline on a downshift, that means it was out of gears for that speed.

The EcoBoost waxed the 6.2 V8 because of the altitude of the test. Dyno test's performed in Denver on a NA V8 shows how bad HP is affected.
I guess I don't see how you guys think it waxed it??
It was 0:11 slower, and ran into traffic that slowed it down for more than enough of that time.
The 6.2 had power to spare at the top and the EB didn't, that right there negates any waxing.
FWIW: Neither vehicles is in my future, especially as a TV... so I really don't care who wins. I simply didn't see anything showing the EB waxing the 6.2, not even close.
