I'll take that bet :-)

It would likely be far superior to the V10 in power. And likely equal or inferior in MPG.

Not sure what you are saying about the CAFE ratings, but I do know the government is interested in them, and the manufactures are interested in not being fined.

There is a lot working against a EB V8. And even if it comes to market (which I doubt), my $ (and interest) would still be geared more toward the Hellcat. Have you heard that exhaust note???

Well y'all can take all your eco raptor, whatever and come back when you're a little closer to 700hp!

In the video they said that the Hellcat truck was 575 hp. I imagine the next Raptor will be very close to that. The real question is, what does GM have to offer?

raptor v8 ecoboost

Hope I did the link right, I still haven't taken the time to learn that.

It will sell well to the demographics who don't tow heavty...maybe a few who do, but they
will discover all about duty cycle in a hurry...

The rumors for the 2018 are the new twin turbo 5.0 L ecoboost pushing well over 500, possibly closer to 600. The 3.5 ecoboost in the ford gt is already pushing 600 hp and that is only a 3.5 L
