v6 vs ecoboost

so im wondering if id beet an ecoboost mustang that is completely stock and is an automatic. I drive a v6 manual with xpipe and flowmaster outlaw axelbacks?

It's going to be a driver race. If ecoboost you trying to race running regular gas then you will beat him.

It also depends on how far you're racing. The V6 doesn't make its peak power as early as the Ecoboost

American muscle actually did a quarter mile drag with v6 vs Ecoboost, V6 won

Ecoboost responds better to tunes tho through force induction so all it would take is a good tune to beat the v6

I'd love to see a completely modded and tuned v6 vs completely modded and tuned Eco

As much as Id hate to admit it, the completely modded and tuned ecoboost would destroy a completely modded v6 with a tune. The ecoboost is high 11's and low 12's vs the v6 being in the low 13's.

I'd love to see how a Ecoboost with 100k miles on it competes with a V6 with 100k miles on it.

Lol yeah fully modded ecoboosts are no joke, I would just be paranoid as hell driving one after reading the exoboom posts, especially since when I could have bought one it would have been a 2014 built one and I hear those could be trouble. Over all I'm pretty impressed with the Ecoboost, just not a platform for me, I like N/A cars and the GT would have killed me in monthly payments and insurance. Really happy where I'm at though with my car, with mods and tune.

But basically stock a v6 wins in a race but once you tune the Ecoboost it's game over for v6

The 1/4 mile record for an n/a cyclone is 12.3 right now. There are people looking to push that into the 11s within the next year or two.

Turboed and procharged cyclones have seen mid to low 10's.

THIS is the truth... That's why I have the V6. If there were no V6, I would not own a Mustang. I don't want any turbo motor after the warranty is expired.

Stock vs stock I'm pretty sure the v6 would win (I've owned both). The Ecoboost has no top end power thanks to Ford's very conservative tune. It would be a close race though. What would really be a good race is a supercharged v6 vs an upgraded turbo EB

Define 'completely modded' first

Without upgrading the engine, the V6 should have more potential of course once you turbo or super charge it.

See my sig for my best time so far, and that was on worn DRs, at full weight with 18x9 street wheels up front. I had a '13 Cyclone that was full bolt on, tuned, with 3.73 gears, and my Eco would lay waste to it on the current 93 tune. The Cyclone made 300 rwhp, 292 tq.....my Eco made 321 hp, but 386 tq. My trap speed indicates the car is really making in the neighborhood of 350-360 rwhp. I loved the 3.7, but this T4 is a monster once you start mods.

2.0 ecoboost that can get 386 torque is pretty monstrous. That engine really does well with mods. Is it wrong of me to want a v6 ecoboost?

Also, take a look at the EB fast list for some better stock times. That American Muscle video everybody likes to reference is a waste of time.

Yea that AM video was with the EB running 87 octane

As has been mentioned. If you take an EB and a V6 and throw $1000 in mods at them the EB will reliably be running mid-high 12s on pump gas while the V6 will be shooting for low 13s
