Ford Flex EcoBoost vs 1979 Camaro Z28
The EcoBoost vs Camaro... Lined the Flex up against a beautiful 1979 Camaro Z28 in a 1/4 mile drag race... Sounded really good too! But alas, it was no match for the mighty Red Brick of Vengeance, with her EcoBoost power plant!
Ecoboost vs Duramax
EcoBoost by about 1.5 trucks. 0-100mph
Camera car is a C6 Corvette. I do a little highway pull at the end of the video:)
And sorry about the shaking, my girlfriend was holding the camera

2013 Ford Explorer Sport Review, Walkaround, Exhaust, Test Drive
More than just a "sport" badge, Ford's new Explorer with the 3.5 EcoBoost delivers some driving enjoyment from behind the wheel with not much fuel penalty from the base 3.5 V6. Our only complaints are a tight 3rd row and a hefty price tag, making it one of the most expensive in the class. If you can swing the cost, you will feel as if you are driving the most premium feeling family crossover in the segment.
