TFLtruck.com Looks like they achieved 8.02 seconds at a mile above sea level. More videos to follow for the other brands. I can't wait to see if the Chevy is similar considering how close they ar...

I'd be more impressed with a measurable improvement in fuel efficiency. They've all got enough power, now we need better mileage.
You can't make that happen. A vehicle with the frontal area, and weighing the same amount as another will require the same amount of fuel or very close, to travel at the same speed going down the road. The efficiency and savings might be apparent if we looked at 2000 year HP and torque amounts like my 7.3 puts out, and compared a similar HP and torque engine nowadays. The new F150's tow as much as my F350 is rated for, a lighter frame, smaller engine, a specialized truck, unlike the workhorse I have.
Sure they can. Just like they are more efficient now than 10 years ago, they will be much more efficient in the coming years.
I like my 7.3 also. I have never timed what it would do in a 0 to 60, but pretty good. It's been chipped and only in the medium setting because I haven't stepped up to the bigger exhaust.
My brother was like Tim the Tool Man Taylor. MORE POWER He had a 2000 Excursion with the 7.3. It would do 0 to 60 in probably 8 seconds with a large 3 place snowmobile enclosed trailer going up hill. It was a monster of a truck.
The hundred dollar bill would still be on the dash, because you could not touch it.
If the 7.3 had the 6 speed transmission, it would be very hard to beat.
