Im not calling you a LIAR shane hehehe, coz i know yopu know your v8s, but the monty i drove was a real pos, my guess is its fooked then, as it certainly had no chance of spinning any wheels haha. Dunno whatswrong with it, not that i really care, so long as my car runs fine.


It must have been shagged, my 5L is ridiculous when it comes to traction. Only now with 8" wheels and really good tyres can I get anything close to a decent start.

Could have been, i honestly didnt look at kms of it, i only drove it coz i was being nosey n the salesman walked up n said "take her for a quick drive" lol, i didnt say anything about what i owned..
It was in good condit tho in and out, not great but good for a 10 y/o car.

What makes the fbt so fkn dead off the line then; its an animal over 40km/hr icon_exclaim.gif

In comparison to the I6 I wouldn't buy the V8 again.. Unless I had some serious money to replace everything. icon_confused.gif icon_mad.gif

Haha, now you tell me!

Nah, in all seriousness it beats the pants off my i6, im very happy and sound is awesome - plus the power from 2.5-4k rpm is insane compared to an i6. icon_cool.gif

Shane yeah its pretty good for 550,000km!!!

The FBT may carry some pretty sever torque tags to reduce low end torque like the AUv8's are plauged with.

All i know is I have an i6 EL Futura and a friend has an EF XR8. Both 5 speeds. I have a 3.25 diff, he has a3.45 diff. Over the same 1/8th drag strip I have beaten his best et. When we raced together, I even had 1-2mph on him too.

the V8 has grunt and a nice note compared to a i6 with a 2inch exhuast plus with the V8 it feels nice and tuff to drive as the i6 can feel like a boat,personally I think ford set up the V8's better as not many are produced compared to the i6.
