Country: | The V4 engine was total crap CC it used to vibrate something rotten that's why they fitted balance shafts to try to smooth it out a bit.The Zephyr/Zodiac V6 back two cylinders used to overheat where as the V4 was just unreliable in general. The best Ford the UK ever produced was definitely the 3.5ltr V8 Pilot

| Nope. You're both wrong. The best Ford that Ford UK produced is a competitor for the best American-branded car ever. A little bit of greatness called the GT40. The Cobra is also a competitor, and coincidentially also was UK design with American power, strangely enough...  
I think everybody knows which is which... | |

| Nah. If you must go with one of those awkwardly-styled jobbies, at least have it be the awesome (but odd-looking) Rs200. 
Rs200.org

Country: | the GT 40 was a good car but only produce for a specilised task it had to sell as a road car to qualify as a production car but really it was a racer. The Pilot was a fully fledge leather seated luxury production line motor.
For me GG the Cobra was the ultimate sports car with perfomance times that even now are pretty good 40 odd years ago incredible.
485 bhp, power to weight ratio 0.5 bhp / kg 0-60 4.2sec,
top end 165mph
