I have never heard of anything like that.

Let me know how you like it. My daily driver is a '14 2.0 Ecoboost. 40,000 trouble free miles so far. Thinking of upgrading to a 2.7 next year.

It may be more so the opposite. Reduced boost in lower gears. Not sure about the 2.7, but like most new cars (especially autos) there is noticeable torque management at WOT in my 2.0. My 2.0 is tuned now though, not even all that aggressively, and it picked up .5 in the 1/4 mile...still gets about 30 mpg's too on the highway.

I'd like to see the 0-60 numbers. She's heavy, almost 4000 lbs on a car with 325hp I wouldn't think would be too fast off the line. My 2013 Regal GS has that much hp after a tune and ZZP CAI and it is almost 400 pounds lighter. It isn't too fast off the line because it is a 4 cylinder but once the boost builds t takes off. Maybe the V6 makes up for it.

the Edge sport which is powered by the same engine with less HP and TQ weighs 4400 pounds, these are the numbers car and driver got for the Edge Sport

0-60 5.6
0-100 14.8

1/4 14.2 @ 98MPH

I would expect the Fusion with less weight and more power to be better than those numbers which should make for a fun DD.

I would too, as my 2.0 with just a tune and CAI (so maybe 270-280 hp) runs 14.20's.

I think the Sport should be in the 13.70 range, maybe better with the AWD compared to my FWD crap.

Keep in mind...it may be "only" 325 HP..but it's also cranking out 380TQ...only 10 ft lb's less than the 1st Gen Coyote.

...and you only get that with 93 octane or higher. But, I run that in all my cars anyway.

Add to that that the 5.0's torque peak was delivered at 4250rpm and the 2.7EB's is at 3000rpm, at least in F150, Fusion's gearing and tune may make this different.

Biggest issue is the weight gain. It's going to be close to 4000 pounds. That is 500 more than mine...

.

So a 4400 pound 4 cylinder with the aero of roughly a brick, has a better 0-60 time and the same 0-100 and 1/4 mile time as a 323 hp 3705 pound 5gen LT Camaro? I find that hard to believe....might be true, but I find it hard to believe, I'll have to find one and race it

Well, the 380 tq is 100 more than the LFX. Low tq is the weak point of the na V-6.

The 2.7EB in the Edge Sport is a V6. It's also equipped with AWD which plays a part in how well the vehicle performs in acceleration tests.

Curb weight of the Fusion sport is 3680
