Have You Smoked A Hemi 5.7 Today?

With a name like your's is currently showing I guess there's no surprise that you'd make a claim like that.110% total b.s. by the way.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.

Ford troll: No one cares about ecoboost, not even you guys - seriously. Who wants a truck that sounds like a 4 banger anyways? The 6.2 Harley from the factory won't even spin the tires from a dig. It has a built in safety feature to prevent it even when adv. traction is disabled plus you never see them like ever. Believe me, I have been looking for them

It takes awhile (upper rpm) to get the 5.0 pulling, they don't snap off the line from a stock tune too well imo but once they start going, they are strong. Not as strong as the 6.2 however

Well duh! How does the Ford's 6.2 match up against the GM 6.2...wouldn't that be a better comparison?

Your right the ford 6.2 would be a better match, but whens the last time you seen one on the road.

I haven't seen any yet.

Last I saw the Ford 6.2 was put into a off-road package trucks(35" tires, lifted an so on) that I'm sure aren't going to run real good numbers in the 1/4 mile or light to light.

Oh and 6016 LBS that is one heavy pig.

Well, it is available...and the Ecoboost will also give the GM 6.2L a run for it's money too...in fact, in stock form, it will beat it.

INCORRECT there "nomoregm4me", I mean "Boss302"

It's quite obvious you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about when it come to this Ford Ecoboost. Not even the Ford guys want anything to due with the Ecoboost engine. Most of the information put out by Ford about this new engine was a marketing scheme and have been proven to be lies, everyone knows that from the independent tests that were done.

I have to admit that when this was introduced, it had me really thinking about looking at one and I have been reading and following discussion on the Ford forums since day 1 when this engine was introduced, I just didn't join the forum and troll around all day......

Guys on the F-150 forum are complaining about getting ONLY 15.2- 16mpg highway and 12mpg in town with this powerplant running higher octane fuel, sounds good huh? Makes me want to run right out and buy one (glad I didn't). Most of them complain about not being able to do better than 16mpg at 60mph, guess Ford forgot to mention that in their add. Nothing like getting feedback from actual owners of the vehicles, not some kid in his mothers basement attempting to cause problems on an internet forum.

Also have a lot of those Ford guys on their forum saying that if they could do it over again, they would NOT get the Ecoboost but instead the 5.0 or 6.2. Many of them looking into trading out of the Ecoboost as well....Before making false statements about some truck you wish you had but can't afford, do some research and see what the owners of them have to say.

I'll end this post with my favorite quote from the F-150 forum by a user named "Cbag's EB", it may break your Ford Ecoboost warshipping heart but he is an owner and not very impressed with it, here ya go :

"Cbag's EB" "I would take the 5.0 over my EB I think they drive great, five of my friends and I all bought

New F 150's this past year, we talk numbers and I have driven all of them often. One buddy got the 6.2, two got the 5.0, and two of us got the EB. If I could trade my EB for 5.0 or 6.2 I would. In what I have seen the only edge the EB has is bottom end pulling a large trailer because once you get to speed the EB will get no more then 6mpg. The EB is unable to do anything other flat ground cruise set at 40mph before it needs the turbos, my buddy's 5.0 get better mpg then the two EB when towing, city, highway. And it sounds like a truck. Once you get up to 70mph the 6.2 even does better, empty or towing. "

And if ya think I changed it or made it up, here's a link you can read with your own eyes, post #5
