If you consider 140mph fast, yes.In 1971 you needed the likes of an E-type Jag to go quicker than that.Keep your ignorant sniggering and your dumb anti Ford sentiments to yourself.

Two hundred and sixty five cubic inches of straight six, with three sidedraught Weber carburettors. Six in a row, the only way to go etc etc

265 hemi with triple carbs I believe they were side draught webers 302bhp the E38 was the same car but with a 4 barrel carb.( not as quick and only 280bhp) I think the XYGTHO was only pumping out 290bhp

E38 had tripples as well.
kiwihonky,

The phase lll was putting out up to 390 bhp (290kw)

And it was still resoundly beaten down the quarter mile by a non-crossflow six.
