We all love V8s but for a long time now the ford i6 has presented as a credible alternative to a V8
From EB2 and the 4.0 i6 we have enjoyed power and torque outputs very close the base V8 offering from holden and ford from the same vintage. EB i6 was 148kw/348nm against V8s from ford and holden of 165kw/385-388nm Ef/el had 157kw/357nm against the same V8s above Au has 157kw/357nm against 175kw/400nm In BA we get 182kw/380nm against 220kw/470nm 3v 5.4 but real driving showed not much of a difference Yes the V8 has the sound which cannot be replicated but the i6 should be credited with offering V8 like performance for many years now. We have to consider the i6 as the next best thing to a v8 and a credible alternative in any event. |
