You continue to amaze with such illogical statements.
How am I illogical? The SRT actually has the CUBES to show for it's power. Oh wait, don't start telling me that you'd rather have a blown 5.4L than a blown 6.1L?
See the reason why I actually make sense is this: the 6.1L already makes 425 horsepower and 420 lb/ft of torque out of the box with absolutely ZERO modifications. That 5.4L comes a little short of that. Of course if you could find a single vehicle Ford sells that comes with a 400-something horsepower 5.4L without a blower or mods, I'd like to see it. The fact is, the modular V8s are a bunch of pansies without blowers. you heard me right. Not so over in the Mopar or GM camp. Just to prove my point, have you taken a gander at the police vehicle comparison tests being conducted as we speak? Yeah look at that, those 4.6L Ford P71s are having trouble keeping pace with the V6 Chargers and Magnums. I'm not even going to talk about how badly the 5.7L Chargers whooped the Crown Vics ass. So please tell me, why are your fabled modular V8s are so magnificent?
Blah. But with a blower, the 5.4L is pretty nice, although certainly not my style of engine.
And I sure hope you guys weren't so naive as to think I was actually suggesting that I would be able to afford one of those bad boys right away. No way in hell! Sorry if it came off like that. You and I both know I couldn't afford one of those....yet.
