For some odd reason, I read that post in a Jamaican accent. :scratch:

 

but, i'm indian....lol

 

Is it me or does that car actually look more like a 4-door GTO? Looks similar from behind. :scratch: Looks good though!

 

BTW guys, that particular XR6T in that picture has had some engine mods and at last dyno run pulled 367rwkw(485hp approx. at the rear wheels)

 

That might not necessarily be true. I did the Aus dollar to USA dollar conversion. A Ford Falcon XR6 would go for about $27,700... well within range of the Dodge Magnum SXT. Take into account that the 4.0 I6 (called the Barra 182) in the Falcon can fairly spank the 3.5L V6 in said Magnum.

 

it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it

 

Assuming you weren't being cynical, no, my implication was not "no replacement for displacement".

In fact, the Barra 182 is a fairly advanced engine, being an aluminum DOHC with variable intake valve timing.

If you scale back the torque in favor of horsepower, you could probably get something like 260/260 horsepower/lb-ft.

In other words, this I6 can fairly trounce most V6's in the American market...

It's a darn good motor, and I would really love to see it in a Ford USA product.
