"This Ranger's quarter-mile best of 15.1 seconds is quick enough to surprise Z28 drivers, but it's the stout 94.1-mph trap speed that shows the midrange and top-end go-power of this none-too-aero pickup."
I think a near 270-310hp Ranger would be nice but for my likes, not in the upper RPM ranges, and I don't believe the V8 is the complete answer either. Some form of Turbo based inline4 would be more than sufficient if not a boosted straight 6. I dare not get into the mentioning of weight penalties because a] the 5.0 doesn't weigh but what? 27-32lbs more than the 4.0L? b] what I would do grossly outweighs that. Hypocrite isn't my color.
