So Ford has a 6 cylinder that can beat an LS3 powered Holden?

**FastSpecV** · 10-08-2008, 12:32 AM

Just watched the Holden vs. Ford shootout for Top Gear Australia and they tested the Holden Commodore against the Ford Falcon. Top Gear: Top Gear Australia's Ratings Slump Despite Holden Vs. Ford Shootout
so they do a drag race and the Holden JUMPS out to a huge lead from the line but yet the Ford reels in the Holden and actually wins the drag race. So wtf is up with Ford here in the US? A turbo charged 6 cylinder that blows away an LS3 powered car, but yet the current Mustang can't even hold a candle to a base model Vette. Why do the domestic car companies hate us so much!?

More like why does the EPA hate us so much? This isn't the doing of the MoCo's, this is the fault of our beloved Uncle Sam.

That falcon is sick.

Get rid of the Nova and the SRT-8 and pick up a GNX then!

Because I like to turn

But there are plenty other turbo 6 vehicles I'd take way before a GNX. I almost put a 2.8 V6 turbo in the Nova, until I realized it was heavier than the LS1. That's when I started looking at the Ecotec.

The next project will be V8T which is > any engine combo
