Remember the old Buick V6 Turbo Regal/Grand National from the mid 80's... That thing stomped all over any N/A V8 of the day... They command a pretty good price from the the more popular auctions today too.. ;)
I had my share of V8 powered vehicles and I can only say my current 2013 3.5L Ecoboost F150 would walk all over any of them... :)
I have to admit, that I would not get the 2.7l if the 3.5l is still available, but that was impressive... But, it was only towing a #7200 flat bed car hauler... ;)
But, he still had to hold back to keep at the speed limit, since that's what they were trying to control in all of their tow tests...
Anyway, it all boils down to if you want a V8 or a not... For me, I was a V8 guy all the way... But, this little 3.5 Eco really puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.. :) :)
