Ecoboost vs modded v6

[Spartan]

It's still a 2014.

Until I see a 2015 v6 vs a 2015 EB these comparisons arent really that informative.

Well if find a 15 v6 in tx or az I will race them. But I will have tune and exhaust soon so it won't be fair.

3.55

2.73 vs 3.55, BIG difference.

Even though he was modded and I'm stock on 91?

The only thing stopping you from being faster than the next guy is money.
i swear there are a bunch of teenage girls on this site, argue just to argue.:frusty:
The 4 is faster than the 6 the 8 is faster than both of them. if you Dont like it see above.

If you don't like the fact your car gets beat,change it. The only thing stopping you from being faster than the next guy is money.

But I won...........

Sorry, not talking to you.:cheers: mainly those that want to argue the hierarchy of Stock power.

Lol just had to make sure. I'm all for v8s but you see what I drive.

I don't think anyone here is arguing, relax..

But I think the engines are remarkably close. All review sites have them doing the same 0-60 (mid to low 5's) and quarter mile (~13.9).

No denying that the ecoboost has great and easy mod potential though.

^Exactly... Anyone who has driven a 15 v6 can tell you that it is much more powerful in the low end the the 14s. Our V6 is pushing out over 250tq from 2.5k rpm and up where as the 14 doesn't produce that much torque tell 3.5-4k... Add to that the fact that a simple mod like an axleback exhaust opens up about 15hp and 15tq, the 15 is overall much more powerful and "quicker" then a base 14. I think my modded V6 could certainly give an EB a run for its money. I certainly wouldn't be 2 car lengths behind...

Only time will tell. Haven't seen any v6ers take their car to the strip

I'm a fan of both motors. But there are a lot and I mean a LOT of V6s from the previous gen running in the 12s. I think gears had a lot to do with the result of this race.

3.55 puts 30% more torque to the wheels, everything else being equal. Your EB still likely has quite a bit more torque than a lightly modded 2014 V6, so that compounded on the huge gearing advantage.

It's not at all surprising you won by a good deal.

I didn't know it put more torque to the wheels. I thought it just let the car accelerate faster.

Wut. Gearing ratios allows you to climb through your RPM band quicker, it doesn't put "more torque to the wheels".
