Care to show what truck does a 20 sec 0-60 time? So you know the Eco-Boost has a 0-60 time of 6.0 seconds not 8 seconds! Talk about Fan Boys :R Here so you don't have to look it up for yourself (I posted this earlier).
0-60 and 1/4 mile Ram 5.7 Hemi 6.7 and 15.2 seconds F-150 EB 6.0 and 15.0
Note one is a normally aspirated engine and one is twin turbo charged engine. Clicky Link
Kind of like the Buck Grand National's of the 1980's that ran 1/4 mile times in the low 15's with a single turbo. That is unless you had a 1987 GTX.
Hear are it's specs and remember it only had a single turbo not twin turbos like the EB, but it was a whole lot lighter.
For the final year, 1987, Buick introduced the GNX at $29,900. Produced by McLaren Performance Technologies/ASC, Buick produced 547 of the 1,547 WE4's with the Grand National interior trim Package. They were then sent off to McLaren Performance Technologies and upgraded into the Buick GNX. Buick underrated the GNX at 245 hp (183 kW) and a very substantial 360 lb·ft (488 N·m) of torque.[5] This was created to be the "Grand National to end all Grand Nationals." Changes made included a special Garrett T-3 turbocharger with a ceramic-impeller blowing through a more efficient and significantly larger capacity intercooler with a "CERMATEL (Ceramic/Aluminum) coated" pipe connecting the intercooler to the engine. A GNX specific EEPROM, low-restriction exhaust with dual mufflers, reprogrammed Turbo Hydramatic 200-4R transmission with a custom torque converter and transmission cooler, and unique differential cover/panhard bar included more of the performance modifications. Exterior styling changes include vents located on each front fender, 16 inch black mesh style wheels with VR-speed rated tires, and deletion of the hood and fender emblems. The interior changes of the GNX included a serial number on the dash plaque and a revised instrument cluster providing analog Stewart-Warner gauges, including an analog turbo boost gauge. Performance was measured with a quarter mile time of 13.2 seconds at 104 mph (167 km/h) and a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 4.3 seconds.[6] GNX #001 is the 1986 prototype currently owned by Buick and sometimes makes appearances at car shows around the US. The GNX had a ladder bar that ran from the midsection of the car to the rear axle, so as to increase traction. This is also the reason why a GNX will actually lift the rear end up when the car is about to launch heavily.
It was a hypothetical question (
Googled it for ya), I had no particular trucks in mind when I threw out 8 seconds and 20 second figures.:S
