Wait for Filson 3.0? It'll be 0.5 sec faster for sure and go from yaw to yaw in under 10 parsecs

Only 2dr was the stroppe as a v6.

Ford's CEO really knows how to take the excitement out of it. I can't imagine anyone getting enthused about the Stoppe.

I guess Filson comes with "Hyperdrive."

I try not to stress my Forester full throttle unless it is really an emergency cause I am the one who has to pay the repair bill. But it is very slow to accelerate and it can be a great source of anxiety in those dire moments when I need to put some distance between me and danger in a hurry. I have not driven the Bronco yet. Was just looking for wisdom from experienced users.

unless you have a new turbo forester / one of the XTs, a new bronco will easily feel similar or faster than one. turbo boost is a lovely thing.

One of the things about the Forester is that if you are moving at more than 12 MPH and you mash the pedal, it will not kickdown. The tranny is so lightweight, the designers did not want a driver to punch into high revs even though it would still be in the fat part of the torque curve well below red line. This low downshift lockout speed basically neuters any acceleration power at low speeds. I am looking to avoid having that situation again.

Bill Stroppe had Carol Shelby type credentials before there was a Carol Shelby.

I am not a fan/fanatic/rampaging fool of anything the verges on teams or people or singers and such,
But
Due to being life-long knowledgeable of the reasons for those god-awful colors...
Our stroppe was like going home for us.
In the way-back, I didn't buy a gen1 stroppe partially due to the deal falling through and gladly due to common sense(I pretty much hated my gen1's as drivers).
We knew Stroppe as the factory available ultimate(along with chenwoth rails).
The pic is my dearest friends truck from years ago.
To offroad guys a Stroppe is a gt500kr, even if it's just stroppe paint on a wildtrak.
So, that's our reason.


Other folks have no excuse.
The stroppe looks like a herd of clowns ate all of the crayons, then threw-up on someone's bronco.

And
you bought a stroppe or no two door v6 hoss3 for you.

And
Lord only knows if Ford got a
Historical reference
Grant
Or
Gets to write them off as part of the ford museums new
Racing wing.

Now if anyone can explain a harlequin vw golf to me.

@SierraBronco we need you

And the consumers lifted up their voices, and cried unto the makers of chariots, saying “We delight in the V8!”

Then Stellantis answered them, and said,
“Do ye indeed? Behold, then: for we shall not just bestow upon you a V8, but receive ye the supercharged V8!”

And Ford spake also, saying “Lo, we have yet another V6; but this one is of three liters and direct injection only. And ye may also obtain the Widetrack with wheels of neon, and moreover, we have raised up again the Eddie Bauer trim from the dust. Praise be the V6”

Please excuse me-I gotta get back over to the camburg thread. @Valhalla and I are having an important discussion about suspension

Oh SNAP!!!! we are thread jumping... again!!!!

Thank you.

Getting onto the highway from the entrance ramps in my community can be a challenge. The gaps in traffic are small, and the drivers around me are very aggressive. So, I am trying to choose my future purchase wisely.

Same conditions here. 2.3 with a tune, IC, downpipe and exhaust or 2.7 with Ford Performance Tune on 93 fuel in Sport mode.....the torque and quick shifts work well.
