Dragon still sounds cooler.

Do we think the particulate filter thing that robs us of HP can be removed? Or do we think it won't even come with that in states that don't require it?

Aging ? What a ridiculous statement !!!

In the Mavericks HP dropped from 250 to 238 for the 2.0 EB. It is a result of the gasoline particulate filter. However, the design with it's combination of both Port and Direct Injection opens up new possibilities for tuners to boost the horsepower. Haven't seen what the Bronco Sport ratings are with the new 2.0 design.
