Where did I say anything about the ecoboost?

I said 5.3 competes with 5.0, 6.2 competes with 6.2. Ecoboost is in a class of its own, you're the only one comparing the 5.3 and 6.2 to the ecoboost

And 4.3 competes with 3.7

You can't really compare the 6.2s between the Ford and Chevy light duties, because the 6.2 in mainly there for a towing engine for use in the medium/heavy duty trucks.

Plus to add to the comparison, ford and Chevy are now completely different motor designs, not like they were in the past. They may still be OHC based, but the technology between their designs is so far from equivalent.

The secret is ford has so many different axle ratios, cab/chassis options, and trim levels.

The secret is Ford has embraced technology and turned it into a winning and excellent platform for them. I understand GM wants to ride their classic design for as long as they can, but the new LT1 in the C7 shows they may finally be changing their ways.

i'm like you Toretto, i like all types of cars for what they are and not really brand specific. heck, i grew up in a chevy family and i also own a Subaru Outback.

the new Z28 is going to be bad ass...but at the end of the day, if i had the money, id go base shelby or a year old with options.

My parents weren't really into cars, at least not at the time I was born. My mom said she owned a Volkswagen (Karmengia?) and my dad did have a Chevy Nova SS.

As far as the Z28, GT500 comparison. I think they are completely different purpose built cars. The Z28 is hollowed out and provided with a far better track engine, much like the Z06 of the Corvettes. To me the equivalent of that with Ford would be the Boss 302 not the GT500.
