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

These tests are fun but could change drasticly if done on a different day. Given the big differences between turbo and non turbo and the way they make power.
The lower temperature could of been a big factor to the 6.2 performance, 30 to 50 degrees warmer could of slowed it down a lot.
What was the barometer readings for that day. It could of been high enough to been only equivalent to 7 or 9000 ft at or near the summit.
Having driven in the west a long time. I have had and seen changes in MPG and seat of the pants feeling, on the same roads and mountain passes in different weather conditions. The turbo would not have the wider reaction to weather changes.
I am a GM fan and would like the 6.2 but if I was in the market it would be hard not to consider the Ford with the 3.5.
