In my opinion, this would make the perfect American Iron racecar. I want one of these engines to play with.

I think that I will be looking for a used 2011 coupe with a manual trans in a few years, could make a fun track day car with some good suspension, brakes, and tires rolled under it. Having driven a 2011 auto. ragtop we have on the lot here, I'm very impressed with the 3.7L performance.


cheers

I applaud Team Ford for an amazing and incredible performance.
I would love for my Ford Ranger V6 to get 30 MPG instead of 18.

that is good stuff.

no moon discs, taped on chloroplast, boat tail, imaginary friends...

something I do with fuel already. Realistically... 1781cc going twice the speed , is same lean.

between 85 and 92 mph, I am in the mid 40s mpg and beyond. they really let it run this time. the last v6 I saw with great mileage, died young. A 2.8 liter carbed in the right hands...

great read. ;D

There is a lot of potential here.
My truck only made 245/335 on paper, this 6 popper laying down 300+ hp....blows me away.
