I keep hoping that one day I will be able to afford either the coupe or roadster. So in the meantime, I work on the details.
I have a 2012 F-150 with the EcoBoost, and that is one powerful engine. So, I got to thinking, would this fit in a Factory Five?
It would be lighter, and plenty powerful. And it would be different. Just curious...

I would love to see an ecoboost gtm. I think a turbo v6 supercar would be pretty slick.

That's a little wide for a GTM, I believe, but yeah I'd say the Mk4 and Coupe aren't out of the question. Dan here in Tech has one in his truck - maybe we'll "borrow" his truck one of these days...

yeah, I figured the 3.5 v6 was still pretty wide, but I've never seen one in person other than inside an F-150. I'm working on a Coyote MK4, so an EcoBoost Coupe would be good, too!

Curious about what it would sound like with Coupe-Like sidepipes, though.

When will the Coyote Eco Boost that I saw in the Ford booth at Sema be available. It was really wide.

Boosted Coyote yes, but Eco-boost? That thing looks like it would drink gas from a garden hose and still be thirsty....... That thing is over the top and I WANT ONE!

I'm pretty sure that is a picture of the proposed new Cobra-Jet engine.

It is the Cobra-Jet. I called it "Eco-Boost" rather tongue in cheek.
