Was browsing through google video when I came across this video of a car called the MG SV that uses the 4.6L Mustang V8

he says the higher engine has 400hp and nitrous version can go up to 1000hp... a 600hp blast of N2O sounds a bit much!

The 4.6 ford engine always sounds so wonderful.

I like their show very much believe me,but I think they are stupid especially Hammond,MG is a British brand so they said that the engine is a very good one,but when they tested the Stang they didn't even say a word about it-strong inferiority complex.

I do believe that the Koenigsegg CCR is powered by a Ford DOHC mod motor, but i think they have it enlarged to 4.7 liters and of course a super charger on it as well, but it does make 806 HP!!

Yeah that looks like a ford motor to me...course alot more CF!!!

They always do that saying stuff like the Americans can never build a sports car like the Britts. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] And will tout Ford saved and Ford engine based Astin or Jag all day long, or the Lotus with the Toyota engine. Is there such a thing as a Brittish car with a British engine, that works I mean.?? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

Yea they seem a tad bias, one particular quote was "Ford makes 300 hp with twice the displacement it takes BMW to make the same"

We pay less for gas here in the States but we have very poor gas compared to the Britts, hard to run 13:1 compression on low octane "gas-ahol".

We didn't get the Honda Civic type R here because we don't have decent 95 octane, which it required.
