If this were possible, what would everybody choose?

Let's say that Lincoln offered our Mark Viii's with the 290 hp 4.6 liter V8 or the twin turbo, 365 hp Ecoboost V6 back in the day, which option would most of us pick? I guess the V6 would be a lot easier and cheaper to tweak for more power so I'm thinking most would choose the latter option.

Being at altitude, I would have to go with the TT6. Much easier to make power with the thin air.

Comparing engines of completely different eras is a false choice, in my opinion. Now, if it was between the new 5.0 and the Ecopoop - 5.0 all day and twice on Sunday!

V6, easier to work on it with more room in the engine bay.

With those new eco boost v6 once you do any type of mod it voids all the warranties. Ford and Lincoln made some good looking and performing cars with the eco boost.

hard to pick 1...i'd hate to give up the v8 sound but the tt's and added power is hard to beat.

 

[blacklsc1]

sounds like they can quicken up the shifts a bit and get a better time in the quarter.

 

[Scorpio1118_2000]

To me there is nothing thats sounds better than a V8 with a nice cat-back.
