Nice read this thread has been! Just doing some browsing and comparing between the 3.5L EB and our current competitor from Ford Australia:
3.5L Ecoboost V6 in the Taurus SHO 272KW at 5500rpm and 475NM of torque at 1500-5250rpm 4.0L Turbocharged I6 in the FG XR6/G6E Turbo 270KW at 5250rpm and 533NM (586NM with overboost) of torque from 1950rpm The Ecoboost does seem to pack a bit of punch and acceleration times as well as 1/4 mile times are very similar between the two I believe. I really love our brilliant straight 6 engines and they have been reliably serving our family for many many years. Only time will tell I guess, will be very interesting to see the final outcome. Some cool videos on youtube about Ecoboost like the endurance tests presented by Mike Rowe and about the Taurus SHO Also I forgot to ask, is there a general reason why inline engine seem to have more torque than similar V config engines? Wasn't able to find much on google
