Puny four cylinder is no match for the best in class hp 2.8 V6 of the Ford Ranger!

What??

The car in the video has a 2.8L 4 cylinder engine. Its still a good video though.

Ford touted the Ranger 2.8 as having the best in class hp.

I don't know what the engine is in that car but it is a DOHC 4cyl.

Yep, and after watching that video I want one to replace the Lima in the 85. Not very practical engine for a Ranger, but I 've been thinking that the 85 was just a test bed to build the Lima, and would eventually pull the engine out of it to put into a Lotus 7 clone. Could do the same thing with this beast of a 4 cylinder, by then maybe I'd be ready to put a small ecoboost in the Ranger. (Or maybe just forget the Ranger and go straight to ecoboost in the 7?)

A 2.8 4-cylinder. WTF?

Oh well. Still a cool ride.
