    Well then credit to you.

    This FJ is the type of car that us car enthusiasts have "wet" dreams about.

    One of my favourite things about visiting Australia was going into an auto parts place (Super Cheap Auto?) and discovering they had one wall of parts for "red motor" and another "blue motor". No need to ask at the counter! My beater Land Rover had a red one swapped in, with an overdrive unit :cool::cool:

    I do agree but sometimes the banter is good, without the banter I don't believe V8 supercars would have never made it to the point it is now. As for not saying which is better, whether they are the same or not everyone will have opinions and everyone deserves that right to their opinions(I personally believe that Holden makes better cars). I love my Holden's and respect fords even if I do give people a hard time from time to time but the fact of the matter is if you drive an Aussie car you will always have my respect whether Holden, Ford or one of the many other aussie cars......... well maybe not Toyota. :p

    In closing occasional banter is good, arguing is bad but telling bulls**t facts to make things sound better is the worst(this happens a lot).

    Personally I prefer Inline 6 engines to V6 ones, but as far as output I don't believe it really matters. Size and weight are the main factors (Inline is lighter, but takes up more space, especially length)
    True, though on the other hand, long bonnets are rather sexy, so long as they're not too long.

    For a transverse application, it makes perfect sense to opt for a V6, yet Daewoo/GM decided not to do this for the epica (which was sold here as a Holden)

    Guys, one of our fellow Aussie's & forum members has just had an awful thing happen. Tonight falconxr8 was involved in a smash which has unfortunately left his Falcon with heavy frontal damage.

    I'd take an inline 6 over a v6 any day.
    I think they're really sexy for some reason.
