great info on the eco-boost ...[/QUOTE]

Did you guys watch the whole video?  I did last night and I finally got some time to respond to what I saw:

1.)  They "simulated" 150k miles on a dyno.  No way could this be even close to equivilent as being real road miles.  They said they can "simulate" 150k miles in 200-300 hours!!!!  REALLY?  Even if you ran the motor at a "stimulated" 100 (beating the holy living snot out of it on a highway), in 300 hours, you'd only have gone 30,000 miles!!!  1/5th of the miles claimed (150,000).  I don't buy their "simulated" model one bit.

2.)  Did you see that engine when they tore apart in front of the live audience?  You gotta be kidding me right?  The entire internals of that engine were SPOTLESS.  There wasn't even any varnish on the engine!!  That's not real.  That means two things:  The Ford guys were changing the oil every 2500 miles with high end low NOACK oil (GTL stocks or Ester, Group V oil) or the engine NEVER really saw 160-180,000 claimed miles.[/QUOTE]
