Car and Drive instrumented test Ecoboost manual

This is much better.

Car and Driver has the best numbers always. Don’t expect to get these yourself. That said my issue with Ford marketing is their fast and loose handling of performance figures. Why say it will make it into the 4s as opposed to saying performance times are markedly improved. They also did this with the GT and you have to read the fine print to see all the caveats. Why dig yourself into a hole for no reason with a hard performance number. I hope someone challenges Ford with those statements/claims with a law suit. Maybe then they will clean up their act.

How did it drop 101 pounds? That’s impressive

They tested it against a loaded premium with the 20" wheels. That one is a pig.

I'd expect the performance pack EB to break into the 4s with the 10 speed. Hold your horses people.

Ummm... And just what is the difference between a 5.01 0-60 and a 4.99999? Is there a naked hottie waiting for you back home if some guy at a car magazine mercilessly flogs your car to get a 4.9?

I honestly don't care, but seems a few are up in arms that it didn't break into the 4s.
