For you EcoBoost fans

Video

I liked it when they got the exhaust glowing red hot. 600 hp out of 3.5L!
  • Just think what they could have done with the 5.4L if they poured the same $Millions into it as they did the EB. We'll never know.

    Well said. Sometimes I still marvel at the fact my wife's 2.0 liter 4cyl Ecoboost puts out the same peak hp and Tq as my 4.6 V8, and it gets far superior fuel economy as well.
