The tremor has none of that. Therefore it is not a new lightning. It's simply a tremor.

Now fuck off you dumb ass.

For what it is, it's not making much power at all. Twin turbo 3.5l engine making 365 HP is absolutely nothing to brag about.

Just because its the top selling motor doesn't mean it's good. Just means it was marketed well.
I do believe its more about the 410ft lbs of torque it makes while still getting decent mpg's. I could see how that could make it an attractive option for most people.

Plus ill take twin turbos over a big v8.

I bet the Eco 8 will be the new Lightening.

SVT obviously didn't have an interest in making it so Ford is doing it their way
