So far that's the one and only thing I'm envious of.
A 5.0 with 385 HP. I think I would enjoy 25 more horse's.

Fake noises...its everywhere.

Atlanta Falcons lose draft pick after fake crowd noise at Georgia Dome





The Atlanta Falcons have been stripped of a 2016 draft pick for using artificial crowd noise at home games.
They have also been fined $350,000 and their team president Rich McKay has been suspended from the competition committee for three months.
The Falcons played noise into the Georgia Dome during the 2013 and 2014 seasons in order to disrupt opposition teams calling plays in the huddle.
The club have accepted the punishment handed down by the NFL.

i thought it was crazy that the payload for the 2015 is 3k lbs... HOLY SH**!! It makes sense, being they took weight out of the body, but still!

BMW did this on their previous generation E60 M5. The turbocharged V10 was barely audible in the cabin without it. As far as I know, that's the only car they did it in.

Idk what E60 M5 you've ever heard.

but 1- they aren't turbo'd

Don't forget that a tuner on a V8 will net about 20 - 25 HP. A tuner on an EcoBoost usually nets between 55 - 85 HP depending on which tune you do. And also that the EcoBoost develops maximum torque at 2500rpm instead of the 5000+ rpms of the V8s. Don't get me wrong, I've been a small block Ford V8 fan/builder/driver for longer than I'd like to admit to (1st was a '64 Falcon Sprint 260 in '70) But it's not hard to figure out what is going to produce more "grins per mile".

Sound better than half of the crap music I get on my radio.


Speaking of crap, this will not be an eco vs thread. If so it will go bye bye.

This is true... but I'm done with tuners. The sound of my 5.0 makes me grin. I'm sure my smile would be even wider with 385 hp.
Believe me I love fast acceleration, as much as anyone, but
I have 600 lbs of tools in my bed at all times. Sadly now 0-60 with that weight is just fruitless, but getting onto the highway and mashing it, will always be part of my day.
Plus my tools don't appreciate getting thrown around, when booting it from a standstill.
