R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 2m 15d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 28/03/08 01:18 AM Share Posted 28/03/08 01:18 AM Think of the petrol those engines would chew if you gave em some stick. I wouldn't be surprised if they increased the petrol tank size and made those things even more heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LS3 is physically smaller and a fair bit lighter than that 5.4L, so yes, I guess it is in how you use it.What matters:317kw (436hp)550nm (428lb/ft)190kg(420lbs)14.5L/100km302kw (405hp)540nm (398lb/ft)298kg (656lbs) (got this weight off another Australian Ford forum, so I can't say how accurate it is)14.7L/100kmThe intelligence comment would make a lot more sense if you'd have tried to get your spelling and grammar in order.
