Default IF I SEE ONE MORE V8 vs I6T THREAD...

I, like probably so many others, are sick to death of the I6T vs V8 arguements! and if I see one more person carry on about how their V8 sounds better than an I6 or how their I6 is faster than a V8, I'm going to run for PM, get ellected and close all ford forum site down as a matter of ensuring the sanity of Ford owners!

Get over it!

Both have their pros and cons which have been discussed over and over and over and over again.

Both look horn.

Both go hard.

Both can race around a track.

Both appeal to different people for different reasons.

Both are better than the Holden / HSV offerings.

Both have a name which induces emotion, passion and heritage.

Both will go harder if you throw cash at them.

Both are Fords and both are FPV's.

They are so closely matched in all areas that there is no winner. Just loosers that carry on about which one is better!


RANT OVER!!!

FALCONXR6 will run for PM you keep this up, hope he will throw out enterprize bargaining and create a fair cross the board 20% tax for all, reduce tax on alcohole and cigerettes and allow ford motors to build a beastly v8 to crush any holden or t6. lol the list goes on....

I will vote for you

I agree, good luck at the Election, btw my V8 sounds a lot better than your 6 and its much faster as well.

Agree with the above... but which one has better fuel consumption? The V8 or the I6T? : hehehe
