Quite an interesting excercise. Although at this altitude, surely that gives an advantage to the TTv6 against the v8 competition!
http://www.6versus8.com/showdown/video5/index.html Pretty comprehensive site setup by Ford and Motor Trend. Ford really are getting their act together with regards to not just product, but marketing!

They showed videos at Sema where the Lincoln beat the Audi R8 around a street block..
Ole Rod Millen ... Ex pat Kiwi..He was into Toyota's .. From memory he was very quick years ago driving a RX3... Imo there is heaps more performance to come out of that engine... Development will make it stronger. Very good for a Mk1 version... Yep here he is..Thanks to google..http://www.silverfernrally.co.nz/pho...?album=2&pos=2

6 cylinders are the way of the future.
There is a growing pattern here in Oz and in US with the turbo sixes giving these useless heavy heap of crap 8 cylinders a severe spanking in both performance and efficiency |
