F-150 Ecoboost Burnout

[panthermike]

Just a fun video, looks like a Supercrew FX2 model.

For those who don't know; 365hp/420tq on 87 octane.

A waste of tread.

I thought it woulda done better.

Not exactly hard to do a burn-out in a freakin' truck - the back end is as light as heck!

My buddy could do burn-outs all day in his 1988 V-6 S-10 with like 300k on the engine...in fact, that's what did in the engine.

Not exactly 'impressive'........

Something is not right here. It states below that those weren't going to be available until early 2011...

???

"The EcoBoost V6 engine option will be available for the F-150 in early 2011."

I think in auto production cycles, the fall of the previous year is when they start making next-years models - so, fall 2010 IS 'early 2011' in the world of vehicle production.....

This is likely a pre production truck, a mule to be beat on and reveal what it can. There are 2012 Focus' running around on the streets right now....way ahead of actual production....nothing new.

Ecogoofed is more like it.

Ha ha, no kidding! You're welcome.

A burnout in any vehicle simply indicates a loss of traction which is never good. Unless your a poser who thinks it's cool.

and not a slight to the OP, merely an observation of the video.

Lame
Now show it with a 4 wheel drive and light them all up I might take a look.

Well don't have that, but how about 0-60 in 6.82 seconds in the same configuration? Suprisingly, it tested faster than the 6.2 V8(7.15).

6.8 seconds is pretty quick for a truck. How heavy is it?

Not sure how heavy the Ecoboost is; but a 2wd Supercrew w/ the 5.4 is 5,295 pounds.

That's quite impressive then, and definitely shows what technology has done in the last decade or so. My Jeep has a basically unmodified Dodge 5.9 from a pickup in it, and takes the same 6.8 seconds 0-60, despite being 1000 pounds lighter. That ecoboost definitely has some guts!
