[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 15746298, member: 155561"] I'd love to see a small displacement, rev happy TT v8. The only way to make that viable though is to amortize that engine across the F-150 line as well. That would essentially have to replace the coyote 5.0 in the truck lineup, because two v8s and 3 v6s with turbo and NA options is just too much... If we got a small displacement TT V8 it would pretty much replace the 3.5 EB as the top dog and could go in the trucks, the new raptor and the GT500 which may be enough to cover the costs of such a thing... obviously not the GT500 and raptor market exclusively, but rather as a top-tier F-150 engine. In the GT500 trim i could honestly give a shit how much HP it makes, we're to the point where the HP is just stupid anyways. The Hellcat comes with 707 hp from the factory and a 275mm street tire? All that means is the guy who wrote the TC software earned his paycheck. The high hp only matters for bench racing and magazine numbers, just give me a proper car with a proper chassis, a realistic amount of HP I can actually use with a decent tire and put it in a good package. I'd hardly call the car a failure if it dropped with like 600-650 hp because with the 10 speed it will still probably slay damn near everything if they can keep the weight down. [/QUOTE]
