Turbos and reverse flow heads are probably making V engines even more attractive than just their packaging benefits.

Yes, on a Ford forum making stupid statements that I6 engines are better than V6 means you are claiming the ford I6 is the worlds best engine.

You exaggerated and I picked you up on it.

What I find funny is that slow Aussie straight six can tow your twin turbo 380 (magna) faster than it can move under its own v6 power, without requiring a built bottom end.

Even the supercharged 5.0s struggle to compete with the brutal power delivery of the 4.0 turbo inline six

Hey mate, let's meet up?

Can you get your boss at McDonalds Laverton to give you some time off?

You can show me how your XD wagon on gas goes like now that you've put a fully sick KN filter on it.

Sorry my bad, I meant your ED pile of dog excrement that keeps blowing transmissions, and countless clutches...and rattles like a milk crate.

"Ed Xr6 Turbo manual, 4 dead T5's, countless clutches" as per your signature until you removed it...

Don't worry about a trailer I'll tow you home with the bobcat and forks.
