Which do you guys think is faster? I know this has probably been debated before. My mom has the V8 in her 97' Mountaineer, it has a lot of torque but doesn't seem that quick especially when it hits second gear and after. I have a 2000 rental Explorer xlt right now with the V6 and damn that truck flies for its size. I get pushed in the seat when that thing hits its sweet spot. But I'm just curious as to why the V8 has more power and torque yet every magazine test has it almost a second slower than the V6. Just about every test has the V6 at about 8.2 seconds to 60, while my car and driver right here (though from 98') has the V8 at 9.6 seconds. I think the 9.6 is off though because my moms truck is definitley faster than that. That V6 is just plain sweet. We're selling my truck when it gets back from the shop and going to buy a 2000 Ex. Eddie, I plan on doing dual flows and an intake and want to know if anyone who has done this noyiced a good improvement.
Thanks for any of your help.
