I have a 16 Focus SE with a 5 speed. I love that little car for its pep.
I really believe the 2.3 will be more than enough. If its a stop light racer you are looking for then no this will not be it. I personally drive a Kia Soul turbo daily for work, I think it weights around 3k and has 200hp turbo motor. The tuning is terrible and turbo lag is horrendous. But when it gets into boost it up and goes for whats needed on the highway. With that said if tuning is done right, you get to pick your shift points, it is going to be a blast.
Very nice! I am a really big fan of Burger Motorsports, and have followed the work they have done on the F150. I am pretty confident they will provide the same on the Bronco. I used them on my 135i, loved switching maps with the steering wheel controls. I am sure I wont stay stock for long. The biggest thing I see from the Ranger would be upgrading the intercooler.I had an 03 Z and have had 2 modified STis as well. My current is a 2011 with FBO E85 and I’ve been spending some time on the Mustang Ecoboost forums and already have a similar plan if the Bronco mods follow what is available for the Mustang. There are fuel kits for E85 and port injection, drop in turbos, built 2.3 and 2.0 motors, etc.
I will probably drive stock for a while but definitely Cobb Accesport if/when available, downpipe, intercooler, protune. Cobb stage 3 on Mustang makes another 80whp and torque. That’s all I would need
Yeah the doors and top is worth 20 hp or so.

If you don’t mind waiting 4 more years for a test drive...considering they made a statement that manual squatch will be at the back of the production cycle we may not see that combination as a 2021 year model. Of course if demand is high enough that could shuffle things around.My benchmark is my 2012 JK 2 door with the 6 speed. It wasn't "fast" or didn't handle extremely well but I feel that the manual definitely enhanced the driving experience. Pop the doors and top off, put some good music on and just enjoy it.
The NSG370 transmission was pretty agricultural but I liked the fact that the shifter shifted the transmission directly and not by cables or rods. From what I hear, the new Aisin 6 speed in the JL/JLU/JT sucks as far as shift feel as its a cable shifted transmission.
Since the MT88 will be cable shifted, I really hope it doesn't suck. That would seriously deter me from getting the 7 speed. And I absolutely dislike automatic transmissions.
What do you think the odds will be on a dealer actually stocking a base mansquatch so we can drive it before committing? I'm guessing just above zero
You're forgetting one of the biggest reasons: emissions.
Old Maximas were so awesome ?
