V10 torque
I usually drive my van pretty conservatively, trying to get into the 12's mpg… LOL
But undoubtedly a few times per week I have an opportunity to really dig into it.
And today I realized: that you V8 guys don't know what it's like to have your right foot directly control the nose altitude of your van. I believe it's called "pitch." Yeah, I just looked it up. It's called pitch.
This freaking V10 pulls like an angry gorilla. Note to self: always buy the biggest engine available.

Dang it man- you one-upped me! I thought my post was a trump card on this one..
I concede your win on the logic battle: but I must say that I don't think I could handle driving something quite so noisy and stinky as a diesel. My V10 is stinky enough with the cats hollowed out.
Please let's not get into a deep debate on diesel vs V10, but in keeping to my original post: does a diesel Econoline lift the nose pretty good? "Pitch"

But it pulls like 4 angry bulls.
And that's before the turbo spools up
in OD at that ! And with 300,000 miles on the motor.
