Lets say you had £20k "floating about" and fancied a car, and only had a choice of two (ie so no saying "i'll have an escort cos and £8k change" )

Which would it be?

Ford Lightning F150 SVT (fat a$$ pick up with blown v8 lump and 360bhp)




or

Ford Falcon XR6 (bigger mondeo with RWD and turbo'd 6pot lump and 320bhp)




Both can be had now for about £20k (imported XR6, some UK F150's kicking about for that money too)

swerv

F150 deffo , quality car that can tuned easily and ive seen run some good 1/4's.

only downside is the price of petrol in britain

TIFF

Neither

Invest it

brad

Ah yes but the Falcon has potential for 500+bhp on std engine so easily tuned aswell

the falcon so long as i could get it in manual

TIFF

If i told you that, my investment wont be worth as much

TIFF

EXACTLY

JAP CRAP

if I HAD to, probably the lightening...although 500bhp on standard engine sounds good

but I wouldnt WANT either of them

brad

its a bit like going on a vw forum and asking
felicia or octavia

Can half you fuckers not read?

I said you HAD to choose one of those two cars - and ONLY those two - you blind illiterate fucks

this is a hypothetical choice - your not actually legally bound to buy one if you choose it So don't worry and just choose one of the two I posted

Bread

Notice how i read correct. still i suppose us northerners have to expect a certain amount of stupidity from u southern monkeys

I'd keep the £20k

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

erm ... thought the same ...sorry mate ... but if you must spend it ... suppose it has to be the lightning ... or donate it to the ima rebuild fund

SteveB

iTrader: (3)

Neither and get a M3 Evo..... and stick the rest in the bank

mattbibs

RS500

swerv

i dont think people had quite got the idea here

CossieEdd

Of those two I'd have the Falcon - not really into the 4x4 or truck thing.

Stavros

XR6Turbo easy (not the auto tho)

3.5litre 24v striaght 6 with a GT40 turbo as standard.

500+bhp on standard internals, std turbo, and std manifolds.

10sec 1/4s and 300kmh+ proven on the above spec.

Lightnings are decent, but not really me...

mike77cos

Falcon (but, and I know you said no choice but they do an XR8 with a V8 can I have that one pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeeee)

Tony Ryan

I'd rather invest the money in the next dot com fad

paul es cos

F150 LIGHTNING everyday of the week!!! awesome cars

nickyboy

The Lightning everytime.

$3500 for a Kenne Bell supercharger upgrade plus a pulley swap and chip and you're looking at near on 550bhp

Some of the guys i chat to on www.NLOC.net are running 500-600bhp on daily drivers. Top street legal Lightning in the US ran a 9 sec qtr a couple of months back.

xr-stu

lightning!

my dad over in america has got a 5.0 work horse jobbie. fooking flies mind! id imagne the lightnings a bit quick! shit to drive though, especially if you like corners
