Guest DZ. Guests Posted 16/10/02 10:26 PM Share Posted 16/10/02 10:26 PM It was in the last issue of Wheels - when they were doing the article about the 240T engine development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DZ. Guests Posted 17/10/02 10:30 PM Share Posted 17/10/02 10:30 PM And that's using the standard Barra 182 internals for the most part. Makes you wonder what the potential would be if they strengthened up some of the internals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DZ. Guests Posted 18/10/02 05:53 AM Share Posted 18/10/02 05:53 AM I was in a debate for a day or two over at Ford Forums over the entire Turbo 6 vs V8 thing. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but there are a few people out there who are a bit tunnel visioned. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DZ. Guests Posted 20/10/02 10:22 PM Share Posted 20/10/02 10:22 PM DZ13 - it was in one of the Motor threads - I wasn't trying too hard - as you said, it's not worth arguing with people over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
