Its funny how some people on here have a hangup about the V6 engine (usually V8 owners)and bag every V6 owner.Id say to get that hung up about it they must have had their ass kicked by a V6.This argument has been around since torana /falcon/valiant days at bathurst.(when they raced real touring cars there)The 351 falcon was the outright top speed winner(242 km/h down conrod) and the valiant 6 cylinder was the fastest car over the quarter,it was into the 13 second bracket.The toranas and falcons were doing 14's.You can go on about engine mods and changing diff ratios all day.This was how they were straight out of the box.(yes,each car could be ordered new with a lower ratio diff,but most werent).Ive owned and driven some excellent V8's and sixes too.A good six should always get off the line better,(depending on who is at the wheel),a V8 will catch it once its wound up a bit,unless theres something wrong with it.Theres not really a huge difference between the standard 5.0 litre and the standard V6.They are both pretty good engines.
