If ecoboost did so great for the v6, why not do it on a better base engine... Like a twin turbo'd V8 good for 550-650 hp. Upgraded performance exhaust and performance tune would be good for net power of 675-700 hp. That sounds pretty ultimate to me, daily driver? No. Ultimate yeah. Oh yeah one last thing... It must be a sleeper! No badges of any type... Smoking a vette grand sport would be awesome lol

They tuck 37s with a leveling kit. Which is crazy.

Thats the reason i could never get a newer 4x4 again. Its hard enough to get floor shifters. And manual hubs will never come back.
