Classique71 Forums Junkie Location: Colac, Victoria Registered: May 2002	Re: New BA Ford Turbo's Fri, 13 September 2002 02:29 I was comparing a GTS Skyline with the falcon - the handling package - ie 4 paws and turbo of course would beat a RWD around a track like bathurst .. Just look at the sierras - those things were equally as grunty as the skyline GTR - but it was the hanfdling that killed the sierras .. 4wd vs rwd Anyway - i dont think the 5.4 is a quad cam - i think its a duel overhead cam design - though i have to check .. The mustangs 4.6 is a quaddie all alloy block .. the fact is the ford 6 can easily be beefed up to 300kw + the bottom ends on them are strong - isnt there a XE 4.1 turbo on full boost putting out over 320 KW ?? As for the XR's handling - they are mighty impressive for a family sedan - the back end grip is just incredible - never ever seems to want to let go - and the front turns in crisply .. Its going to be interesting to see how they do go - I know , even though less technological than the skyline , the falcons going to be a good thing for the aussie car market and i wont be ashamed to have one in my driveway .. And i can bet they will be cheaper to buy than a new GTS import [Report message to a moderator]
