Wow, so much hate for a car that makes 600hp+hp and they are doing it out of their showcase engine.
The 3.5TT EB engine is the new 5.0 for Ford. It is something that they have rebuilt their brand around and it is fitting that a high tech, special version of it is being used by their special supercar.
They COULD have done just taken the GT350's engine and dropped some turbos on it, but that shows Ford checked a box for what is expected of them.

The 3.5TT EB will be replacing the 6.2 liter V8 in the Raptor as well, but I don't see anyone complaining.
Why? Cause Ford used it for the Baja 1000 and a tons of other endurance races to prove the legitimacy of it.
And, in the end, if you are still butt-hurt about Ford using a V6 and want an American mid-engine sports car, then wait for this magical Chevrolet supercar coming.
