Smart move if you ask me. Not that it makes any difference to me but GM can leverage their advertising to this now.

Going to be interesting to see how the ED comes out of this. With only 240HP it's going to have a hard row to hoe IMHO. Time will tell. :)

Going to be interesting to see how the EB comes out of this. With 365HP and a relatively small cooling system it going to have a hard row to hoe IMHO. Time will tell. :)

To me it will be nice to see them all play by the same rules.

The 'relatively small cooling system' and 365HP limitations didn't seem to be much of an achilles heal in this contest. Oh, and Davis Dam was the model for the cooling performance test of J2807.

Davis dam sprint

One thing to remember Ford sets up this completion and choses the hill to climb.

Then ford picks the rear end gearing and you can bet they pick the best gear for the Ford and the worst gear for this hill in the GM and Ram.

Put a turbo on either the GM or Ram and it would be a no contest. Or let GM have 6.0 or 6.2 liter.

This was far from an apples to apples test.

The engine with the most horsepower most likely will win.

But I will admit the Eco Boost is impressive and I expect GM and Ram to follow.

As for Ford or Ram to be J2807 compliant! They do not even have their Hp and Torque claims certified. That is why GM has been king in all independent sponsored hill climbs. The GM Hp claim is real world.
