That is so weird, I never met a Mopar fan that didn't wish their car had a 426 Hemi over a 440 of any flavor We must run in different circles.

303HP/268 TQ in a 4K pound car lol, that TQ isn’t moving anything. Even the R/T’s are insanely underpowered for that weight. It always makes me laugh when people race an R/T and they’re faster, they’re not a fast car. I’m like 1.5 seconds faster than an R/T and about 2.5-3 seconds faster than a V6 down a track and that’s just stock. Wait till the upgrades are in
Either way the point was it’s always people in cars with these little engines that try and race me and j just laugh as I leave them behind.

So the good thing about the 2.7TT is that if one turbo dies it still has the other right? 
You could get many other options if you didn't have the Hemi, like better brakes.
If I ever get my dream 'cuda... it would probably be a 340/360.

when I say 'fast cars', I'm referring to ones that can go around corners. 4100 lbs doesn't :-D
Fast drivers > fast cars
A Scat Pack can manage a sub-5 0-60 time even on the street. Tuned 2.7 F150s are typically over 5 seconds to 60, so it still probably wouldn't be enough.I think a tuned 2-door 2.7 Bronco in 4A might give your scat pack a run for its money!
What about power to weight though? Isn't the new Bronco heavy- like 5K LBS? What is the weight 2 door versus 4 door? And is the V6 heavier than the I4?
For off roading you generally don't need a lot of power- unless you are going up steep hill climbs or heavy mud- in my opinion. I had a 71 Bronco with the 170 CI six and that was slow slug on the road- 0-60 in probably 20 seconds. Off road I could keep up with just about anything, except on the steepest hill climbs. I upgraded to a 70 Bronco with a slightly modified 302 V8- cam, Holley Carb, headers, dual exhaust. I am not sure of the weight of it versus the HP but that thing moved. I was young and crazy and it was fast. It dusted any other 4 X 4 on or off road- and most cars.
I had a 2016 Miata ND- it weighed liked 2600 LBS and had only a 160 HP engine- that car was pretty quick.
My GF has a 2013 Silverado short bed with a 4.8 V8, CAT back MBRP dual exhaust- it weights around 4300 LBS. I think around 300 HP, not sure of the torque- may 310. It's fast for a truck. I have a 2018 Silverado Double Cab 4 X 4 with 5.3 V8- 353 HP and 373 torque. It's very heavy- 5200 LBS I think. It's very slow, my GF's Silverado will smoke it. So, power to weight has a lot to do with it.
Compare F150's weight with the Bronco's- is the F150 lighter? F150 with the 2.7 is a very quick truck. The Ranger is also pretty quick with the 2.3. How does the ranger's weight compare to the Broncos?
