Bronco 0-60 seconds?

[Bronconheimer]

If I have a 2 door with the 2.7L, take the doors and front roof panels off, will I be able to pop a wheelie?

While I agree that 0-60 isn't a big deal for this class, I would expect it will get there pretty quick with the 2.7 EB. Car and Driver did a test on a 2015 F-150 Super Cab 2.7 EB 4x4 and it got 5.7 0-60 in 4wd sport mode. I had the same truck in it's 2016 version. 4x4, 3.55 rear end and in 4wd sport mode I got 5.8 sec according to a 0-60 drag race app I down loaded. It felt fast as heck for what it was....

I'll put my money on the Base 2.7 with lightweight 30" tires in addition to lower vehicle weight.. Should easily beat a BD. Base 2.7 - 5.5 seconds 0-60.

I ordered BaseSquatch 2.7L and I definitely care about acceleration and going as fast as I can on the highway. BaseSquatch 2.7 - 6.5 seconds 0-60? Not sure how much slower the 35s will be, but it will be substantial.

The base has 373 gears with the 10 speed and no locker option. A big bend with locker 4.27 will win.

Why? It's an offroad vehicle. If you care about the 0-60, you maybe should be looking at a different vehicle.

I couldn't agree more. These guys think a Bronco is going to be "fast"? Then they have no idea what fast is, obviously. Merging? Seriously? Might as well make your first mod some mufflers. No one that talks about fast, talks about 0-60. That's for guys that magazine-race their usually rented, er, leased, vehicles. Weak. And that's all this talk is: "My magazine says my car is faster than yours; no, my magazine says mine is faster..." Weak. BTW, It's 1/4 mile and more importantly, trap speed - are you still accelerating (hard) when you hit the 1/4? *That's* what matters. (Then there's the whole brake thing...)

Don’t reckon the conversation was about “fast”... thought it was about guessing what the 0-60 time would be (usually relative to the term quick). I think there’s a couple jet pilots on here that could probably talk about “fast” if we were actually on that topic. Bashing on folks for trying to have a fun conversation instead of b****ing and whining... weak...
