Guess I Got Told :shrug:

I worked late last night, much later than normal and the outside sourced cleaning dude was in. I've seen him before and he asked about the Bronco and if I still liked it as he didn't see it in the lot. I have talked with him in passing before and he is nice enough. He is an older dude, early to mid 50's but looks like a late 60 year old that works out. He also drives a pimped out V6 challanger with hellcat stickers and a giant wing. Anyway he asked me which engine I had and I told him the 2.3. To which he quickly retorted "you mean the 5oooh!" There was some minor back and forth and I didn't feel like getting sucked in but he told me, in no uncertain terms that: 'i have no idea what I'm even drvin' and dey only come wit the 5oooh and da 6-2. So I must have the base smaller one.'

Silly me.

Bro!?! Yours doesn't have the 5.0? pshh.

Love it, I can see the V6 Challenger in my head now, did they replace the Civics with Si badges?

With the 3/4 race cam, doublehump heads? I'll bet it'll jump a Coke Can when you get into it.
Squeal the tires in 3rd erryday.

At least it was something more interesting than,

"One of the new Broncos, can't believe they put a 4 cylinder in that thing!"

Im happy with my 2.3. @ 300h...back in the day my old 5.0 Mustang GT only had 225 hp.

"older dude" = mid 50's, OK, good to know young punk.

It is quite impressive what the 2.3L puts out. I have a 2021 Mercedes AMG with a dual-turbo 4.0L V8 and it has 603HP (624HP with 48v starter/generator). The 2.3L has a bit more than half the AMG displacement almost half the HP ... not bad! I won't compare torque...that would be unfair

SAME! I do still miss that car everyday, though.

I bet your Bronco doesn't even go Pshhhh Pshhhh.
Meanwhile, I am rollin' in my 5.0, with my soft top down so my hair can blow.
See you chumps at A1A Beachfront Avenue!

Next time anyone asks you which engine, the answer is always "LS swap".

 

[sgraing1]

Should have told him that you had a Small Block. BTW, I'm 60 years young/old.

I had a CLK500, 5 liter with 302 hp, that car was a blast! Close to same HP but 1500 pounds lighter.

Well that’s what you get for picking on your obviously well informed overnight custodian.

He probably put half a ’82 Ferrari in the back of his boat too….. Because half an ‘82 Ferrari in the back of the fu@kin boat! ….., no.

Out of curiosity what keyboard are you using?

 

[telenerd]

I had someone say what engine you got in Bronco. I said 2.7 liter, V6, twin turbo. Then he said oh that’s a small engine.

I thought to my self oh geez I better not bother telling him the horse power and torque he may be even more disappointed

This reminds me of the C63 Jeep I saw yesterday.

A C63 Jeep? Yes. a C63, bro.
