Ford Racing & EcoBoost

[1320']

Yes that's me.


Everything else was stock on the eb, including the intercooler. What is also impressive was the 5.0 that was tested with only drag radials and a tune went 12.0's

OH PISS

This is why I'm really hoping Ford comes out with an AWD Focus RS with the 2.3l Ecoboost. It would seriously do some damage to the STI and Golf R all with a warranty.

That's COOL!

Can't wait for the video of that run.

And the GT running 12.0, mmmmmmmmmm.

 

[BrainFreeze]

So... this is only the beginning? Holy crap...

Here we go...

Oh boy, oh boy!!

That Ecoboost is bad ass but I loving that statement above on the 5.0....That is hauling the mail for a tune and DR's in a 3700-3800LB car...

Can you share the MPH that is was running in that 12.0x run?

Welcome aboard!!! Keep any tidbits of info you can flowing for us:ford:

HA..

The folks on C5 are already calling BS on that being a IRS car..sounds like they're trying to claim a SRA was swapped in

It would be awesome if you could post a link and/or quotes as C5 is blocked here at work.


The 12.0 with tune/DR is nice but was also easily done with the '11-14 GTs so I'm not crazy impressed with that. However, given the many improvements to the car in other areas to still be capable of the '11-14 drag racing performance is promising.

He's saying a 5.0 went 12.0X with just DR's and a tune.

An IRS 12.5 second car that lifts the wheels like that.

[Ryan78]

so... why not just upload the video?

I hate marketing bullshit

Agreed. They can't wait? They obviously have the video. Put it out there.

 

[Grimace427]

Thanks 1320'.

 

[bwilly]

Why wait? Is going fast down a drag strip going to deter people from buying this car? :headbonk:

Ahhhh...didn't realize the 11-14 GT's ran that...thought it was slower...

I'm in enough hot water now, you will have to wait until the info is publish on trap speeds, it will be soon. I can assure everyone that the EcoBoost had the irs in while testing.

Thanks for providing what you can. Wish Ford's marketing arm could work faster so you don't take the heat.
