I thought I heard the Baby Godzilla might even fit in there. What I'm talking about is, we'll NEVER see it from Ford.

If by some miracle they did decide to put Baby Godzilla in there, I'd hate to see the price. Because like that V8 Jeep, I'm certainly NOT spending $75k on a Bronco. Shit, I don't even like the $43k price tag on my current BB build

I'm sure Steeda or Roush (or whatever Shelby is these days) is already on that. And it will be amazing. And very expensive. But something to marvel at, nonetheless.

YES! Best thing I've seen all day. Literally laughed out loud at this.
@Brongo You are my hero today.

Anyone else find it hilarious that some people think only V8s sound good?

No? Just me?

I'll see myself out...

the 3.5 in my wife's Navi sounds fantastic....

i like the sound of my 6 cyl Twin Turbo GTR especially between 5000-7000 rpm.

I also liked the sound of my GT500 and 04 Cobra with Borla exhaust.

Very different but both equally cool IMO.

to be fair none of them sounds as good as a big block in 65 cobra with side pipes or Ferrari 355 with capristo exhaust. That is a different level of awesome.

Oh boy that sounds cute.

Dual injection, bro. We're doing it for the dual injection.

Hey, the reason people get into professional miming is for the adoration, fame, fortune and women. Might as well get a Bronco for dual injection and the opportunity to replace two turbos at a time.

Man those injectors tapping is going to make me feel like there is a lifter tick constantly.
Lol. Definitely a candidate to keep it quiet.
No Flowmasters on this one for me.

Sounds like dual injection should solve lifter tick!

Jokes aside, I wonder if Ford is still using re-branded Toyota Prius COP's?

Glass packs, Thrush mufflers and a louder wastegate should happily change the 2.7 Bronco from sounding like crap into sounding like much louder, stranger, and more expensive crap in no time! Muffler shops always hire the best welders!

Nearest I can tell, people are buying the 2.7 because of

1. number of cup holders
2. better times at the drag strip
3. So they don't have to pay attention while driving/can't drive a manual transmission.

There's been a lot of conflicting threads about the reasons people want the 2.7, but that is a succinct list.

However, on topic: EcoBoost motors seldom sound good and the Bronco won't be revved up much to try and attract members of the same or opposite sex. Still waiting for the first Ranger owner to put a glass pack on the exhaust, that will brighten my mood!

You forgot the most important#4.keep Rednek busy fixing your oil leaks and turbo's so he can afford his Bronco

Naturally aspirated V6's can be made to sound good but turbo V6's all sound terrible.

This one works for me. I wouldn’t want it on a Bronco, but it’s not bad.

I peg this as a 1940s Singer sewing machine with a bent needle. Very impressive!

You win the prize!

Is there a ticking sound? Is it that the turbos? Is it supposed to sound like that, lol? All the vids from inside the cabin make it sound better than that. Are they playing fake engine sound passively through the speakers?

 

[Ricepuddin]

V6s all sound like this to me (except the alfa giulia quadrifoglio )

Caught a little video of someone revving a 2.7l. FWIW

VIDEO:

Wow... Really? Sounds like my old '93 Geo Metro.

It's probably the high pressure fuel pump, those get a little ticky

The Alfa V-6 is a good sounding engine. I worked on many of them.
