Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / October 2003which is faster stock manual - ed, ef, el?
which would be the faster of the 3? ED, EF or EL? > which would be the faster of the 3? > > ED, EF or EL? The EF & EL would be marginally quicker than the ED, but the difference wouldn't be anything to get excited about. Between the EF & EL, there'd be even less, and either could be quicker than the other on any given day.... Regards, Noddy. Considering the EF brought along with it variable length intake runners, its generally got more guts to take off with in the first place than the ED. Plus with an EF you can say that your 1994 model car still has more power and significantly more torque and is actually able to safely overtake at speeds compared to a 2003 VY executive. > > which would be the faster of the 3? > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Regards, > Noddy. > Considering the EF brought along with it variable length intake runners, its > generally got more guts to take off with in the first place than the ED. As I mentioned, when you compare the two side by side, there's not a lot in it. The EF & EL made more power than the ED, and it was also a smoother engine thanks to it's improved crankshaft balancing, but the car also got a tad heavier which ate into the power increase. Still, they *are* quicker, but as I said, it's not by much... > Plus with an EF you can say that your 1994 model car still has more power > and significantly more torque and is actually able to safely overtake at > speeds compared to a 2003 VY executive. That depends on what speed you're talking about :) Falcons are generally pigs until they get moving compared to the shorter geared Commy's, and while the Commy may run out of puff earlier in the ultra high speed stakes, your average V6 Commodore can haul the mail at freeway speeds just as well as any Falcon can. The Falcon doesn't have any distinct advantage in this regard, and gets just as breathless as the V6 Holden engine at much above 4500rpm...

The original poster mentioned manual Falcons which have a better 1st than the auto and launch quite well :) "Kieron" <kieronm302@hotmail.com> wrote in message > The original poster mentioned manual Falcons which have a better 1st > than the auto and launch quite well :) Yeah, they do, but they are also slightly heaver and geared a little taller as well. The short answer here is that at the end of the day, one is not vastly superior against the other...
