I see what you did there!So, we've already established the FACT that the Pentastar is a faster engine with more "get up and go" on the highway compared to the diesel. But here's another shocker... the 2.0L Hurricane engine will start getting tunes, much like Ford's little 4-banger turbo gets for the Mustang cars, and then the 2.0L will be faster and more powerful than BOTH of the other Jeep engines! Crazy, eh? To think that the FACT is that the diesel will be the slowest most painful to drive engine option on a 4x4? That's just crazy. Times are definitely changing.
Stats show us that people cross shop the Wrangler and Mustang. Odd? Yes... but it's because both are convertibles. And using the Mustang example, a 4-cylinder turbo with nothing but a plug in tuner is faster than the V8 on the race track. It's been proven time and time again.
So getting this thread back on topic.. the Hurricane engine option for Wrangler is going to be very interesting. And I predict that it will be the biggest seller in the lineup because of it's ability to be tuned for power and it's fuel economy.
I am very much looking forward to the 2.0L Hurricane engine. As you mentioned, it will be interesting to see what the aftermarket can do with it.
