Like there was any doubt, but a fun video nevertheless.

A V8 beat a V6??? Holy smokes! That HAS to be the first time that happened, right??

Well, a NA V8 vs a boosted V6 could be competitive (doesn’t the latest Ford GT run one) of course, boosting the V8 Just Might make it laughable! Edit-memory flash, during the classic muscle car era a friend had a blown big GMC 6 in a 55 Chevy, it was the definition of a sleeper.

Ford engine bays are designed like a total mess on purpose, so it’s hard to see when the engines blow up...

I'm not an electrician or plumber, or specify directly with HVAC but my trade as a service tech has all 3 components in it and oh man, looking at this engine bay is giving me anxiety. lmfao

True, but this isn't 1990 where displacement meant anything. That twin-turbo intercooled V6 failed miserably in out performing the ancient design of the 392 from 2011. Ford should have set beating that as a benchmark for their 80,000 ride.

Personally I can't wait to see what a Wrangler does with the new I6 turbo in it.

It looks like they threw away the Ikea directions and decided to go it alone.

Slow. Fat. And wide. That thing's gonna be a blast on a technical trail.

The Jeep aerodynamics really shined vs the Ford.

Thought the 4Xe is quicker than the raptor bronco.

They had 2 Broncos, wish they had added another Jeep; preferably, the 4xe with the turbo to help with altitude. It would be the heaviest vehicle, but not the slowest.

At least the Bronco Raptor name sounds like it would be fast Those gull wing fenders probably cost it a couple tenths.

You’ll get more clicks if you delete the last word of the thread title.

Andrei’s face says it all as he sees that Jeep Wrangler leave him in the dust...

Hey, but at least Raptor comes with red seatbelts!

Question: Can you remove the doors on a Ford Bronco?

Answer: Yes, ask a Jeep Wrangler to blow them off for yah...
