What cars better ?

[tough cortina]

hi,



Do you think a ford xy or a td cortina is better ?



Thanks

[Steffo]

Better for what?

[andrewts]

Commodore.

(XY)

[tough cortina]

looks and appearance?

Can someone do poll for me?

I want to know what car to choose!!

[Steffo]

Looks and appearance? Choose what YOU like better. Why do you want to know, or care, what others think?

By the way, my choice would be XY.

[tough cortina]

ok thanks for the info

XYs has been done to death, VLs are the new XY.

Decent Cortinas are alot less common.

vls will never be the new xy

Only in terms of popularity....

I prefer the TE over the TD.
Or a nice Lotus Cortina.

[xbgs351]

How about an Escort?

[MotherNatureVer2]

I actually prefer the TC Cortina ........ Not sure if there are any good ones around these days though ...... Yes I am bias as I had one .....

Mmmmmmmmm 4.1lt goodness all in a small car .... many a fun day had in that baby ;)

Your choice would depend on what your plans are ....... personal choice will play a big part in this & you will find there is going to be a variance in what everyone tells you as well ....... depends on their age & experiences .....

Xy for me, but check out Ratman's XY and Protd's TD, 2 of the tuffest cars
you'll ever see imo.

[BAFalconXT]

XY, because I want one. Or XW, XT etc. Have been done, but look tuff, big and comfy. Prices are going up, so its hard to loose anyway.

[blueoval]

XY for nostalgia. TD for lightweight drag racing.

[protd]

it's a shame the tc/td's aren't as light as people thing they are one they have a clevo and 9" etc they are around 3200pnds were as a torana and Capri are around 2900pnds..

[blueoval]

got to be lighter than an XY surely?

[BZINGA]

I think Frank at Dandy Engines said the xw weighed in at 3550lbs with him, 60ltrs of fuel & thats with the 427 in it ready to race.

[protd]

i wrote 3200.. as far as i was aware 3500-3600 is heavier.. what i meant was they are not a light as torana's and such they are actually a medium car not a small car people think of them as a small car

This is exactly why I got one in the first place .... well the TC ........ It is about the smallest car I would own & drive ;)

Yeh i know what your saying, i was just showing the difference in the TD-XY
weight. I thought the cortina & capri were alot closer than that, suprising.

[protd]

i think the te/tf's are lighter than tc/td but the te/tf are the ugliest car ford ever made IMO i like ugly just not that ugly..

when i started the cortina i thought it would be the same as a Capri but when we weighed it i almost died.. oh and my last post was not directed at you trik67.. it was for blue oval said the cortina is surely lighter than the xy i was just pointing out that i wrote 3200 and you wrote 3550..
