Default Re: V8 ranger raptor

Despite being somewhat grunt deficient versus the boosted six, the upgraded V-8 has little trouble returning solid results at the test track. Propelling the 5284-pound pickup from zero to 60 mph required just 5.9 seconds, only 0.2 second slower than the last*2017 F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost*and 10-speed we tested. It’s also a 0.4-second improvement over*a 2016 F-150 SuperCrew 4x4*with that year’s less powerful V-8 and six-speed automatic. The 2018 V-8 also ran the quarter-mile in 14.4 seconds, matching the EcoBoost’s time precisely. It even cleared the traps doing 98 mph—1 mph faster than the EcoBoost. (The earlier V-8 truck ran the quarter in 14.9 seconds at 95 mph.)

A V8 Raptor would be a few hundred kilos lighter than that ^... in other words it could be towing a caravan and still be quicker than the diesel Raptor.
