The new 2017 Ford GT is going to have a V6 a v6 Another car developed by a woman or a cuck.
$450,000 for a v6 not a straight 6
To be expected of modern USDM. The industry here is fully cucked. I'm surprised it's not a hybrid, or even worse, full EV at this point.

>>12052 To be fair, it is twin turbo. The GT-R also has a twin turbo V6. >>12059 lol
Ford managed to cram a lot of horsepower into their I4 Ecoboost shit, maybe they can find a way to make that V6 go.
>>12059 >V6 has comparable gas mileage to a V12 >They still called it an "Eco"boost Holy shit how?
>>12059 "The reason I moved to California the first time was to build the Cobra. I thought it was stupid to have a 1918 taxicab engine in what Europeans like to call a performance car when a little American V-8 could do the job better." ~ Carrol Shelby Why didn't you listen to Carrol Shelby, the guy who helped make the first Ford GT work? Actually how do you fuck something up this hard? A couple of turbos don't make up for the lack of two cylinders and a couple hundred Cubic Inches. Will be pretty great when Chevy eventually gets around to releasing what Ford should be Though I wish they'd kept it as a sleeper ute
>>12068 Also, they kept hyping up the V6 as compact, but with the turbos it's pretty much as wide as a 90 degree V DOHC, and with the piping it's probably as long as a V8, negating any size advantage. EcoBoost is a load of shit.
>>12068 engineerfag here. TL;DR:If you tune for V12 power with a boosted engine, then you'll get the gas mileage of a V12 as well. >>12083 This. I'm impressed that they've done as well with the twin turbo 3.5L as they have in the F150, but everything else is a fail. Drove an F150 with one for a week and a half and while it moved like stink, it guzzled gas like a nigger hits grape drank after some spicy KFC
Can we blame the EPA? If they didn't do it can I blame them anyway?
>>12099 There's always something to blame the EPA for. I don't think this is it though. I think Ford is just retarded.
>>12052 What's wrong with V6's? I love them
>>12102 They're good engines, but not for what's supposed to be a top-of-the-line flagship car. It'd be like putting an i4 in a Ferrari.
>>12102 They're not American like a V8 is, they only beat a Inline 6 for length, which it trades for smoothness and other bonuses, no where near as sexy as a flat 6 and they're not economical like a Inline 4. They're bastards that signify compromise.
>>12104 >It'd be like putting an i4 in a Ferrari Well TECHNICALLY, they did just that! Multiple times, in fact…
>>12055 ….full EV would be pretty baller.
