2012 Ford Explorer

2012 Ford Explorer: The standard 3.5 liter V6 puts out 290 horsepower and 255 lb. feet of torque and has a six speed automatic transmission. The EcoBoost option is the turbocharged 2.0 liter four cylinder that puts out 237hp and 250 lb. feet of torque. So far, this option is only for all front wheel drive orders.

What would be amazing is if the 2012 (see more about the Ford Explorer here) was to get the F150′s EcoBoost 3.5 liter V6 that puts out 365 hp thanks to a PAIR of turbo’s. With a couple of tweaks and you can get 400 hp out of your daily driver that would make a nice little sleeper. Would you drive a 2012 Ford Explorer Ecoboost.

2012 Nissan Skyline GTR

2012 Nissan Skyline GTR: The GT-R’s electronically controlled ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system has been left alone for 2012. The rear-biased system varies the torque split from 0/100 to 50/50 depending on speed, lateral acceleration, steering angle, tire slip, road surface and yaw rate. Around the skidpad, the new GT-R registered an even 1.00g while dancing through the slalom at 75.4 mph.

Stopping power is again provided by Brembo monoblock 6-piston front and 4-piston rear brakes. Enlarged front rotors (15.4-in. versus last year’s 15.0s) team with 15.0-in. rears, both two-piece full-floating (and cross-drilled) designs with low-steel high-stiffness brake pads. The GT-R stops exceptionally well, coming to a complete halt from 60 mph and 80 mph in 114 ft. and 189 ft., respectively.
