Do you blame him?

No but if his wife is what she says she is ..she should have divorced him years ago..that shows something about her all by itself imo.

Appears ford was sand bagging on the power figures it released for the 2017 f150 ecoboost....  Rumor is it will be significantly more then initially reported.

I watched the vids..Ford really seems to have it going on!

Surprised to see 10.5-1 compression on a turbo motor.

Ford gt drivers understand the need tor severely hamper the the GT through BOP and give the corvette's an advantage.  The GT drivers know if they were allowed to race straight up they would dominate with their ford v6's over the big honking v8 gm's.  Even with reverse boost and the turbo's sucking air out of the cylinders the GT's still qualified 2 and 3 just fractions of seconds off of the big huge v8 GM for tomorrows race

Briscoe, a veteran of sports car and IndyCar racing (he filled in last season for James Hinchcliffe), wasn’t particularly upset at the turn of events.

“If there was no (balance of performance), we’d probably be six seconds faster than the field,” he said, “so it’s a necessary evil. Honestly, Corvette, Porsche, they’ve been at a bit of a disadvantage the last three races so we knew some changes were going to be made. But I think the changes were bigger than anyone expected.

Nice truck. He needs to tint those front windows to match the factory privacy glass on the rest of the truck

Maybe its illegal to tint front windows there.....

yeah..you can have some tint but not much.

The front/side windows on my exploder are to dark but the cop let me off a few years ago ..still the same.

Even with negative boost and tons of weight the ford gt won against the unrestricted big honking v8 powered corvette.  BOP may want to consider pulling spark plugs on the ford v6 to balance the performance down to what the corvette can run unrestricted with their v8's.

the NA 2.0 in my daughters ford focus would be where they need to put the ford's at to balance the performance to the gm v8's.  2.7 ecoboost is to potent for gm v8's to compete with.

375 hp and 470 ftlbs and a 10 speed.  I bet gm will have an ecoboost in there pickups soon so they can compete.

i would guess gm will drop the 6.2 from their trucks since it such a small volume motor.
