Title: V8 or 2.5 NAD ?
Post by: bullfrog on July 11, 2006, 17:45:24

I am looking at several 90s for playdays etc
Which should I get a 3.5 V8 or a 2.5 NAD ?
I am favouring the V8 as I wont use it every day and It should have more power offroad

My next one is gonna be a V8 :D .

Such an awesome sound, even thinking about dropping a V8 into Trug as i only use it about twice a week to run into town.

Only downside with a V8 is if you submerge it in a river.

Going to look at the V8 later
It has a winch bumper, rock sliders and guards + other bits 8)
The 2.5 is nice but I just love the sound (especially after I mod the exhaust) :D
The insurance is 60p more for the V8 ! :?
I will let you know later which one I choose
I only want one for playing and to base my prducts on so I may have a winch bumper and rock sliders available soon !!

Only voted for the petrol as it was only for play so fuel consumption not an issue

MPG is not really an ssue as We have an everyday car .
If it was I would choose the NAD .
I should be able to get the V8 a few hundred cheaper too ! :D

Yes, it's got to be the V8.  The sound of them and the instant acceleration is just so good.  I ruin my fuel consumption by always using kickdown to overtake, even when I don't have to  :lol:   It's the pushed back in your seat feeling :D  :D

If you have an early Jeep you can fit an AMC 401 (6.6L).  =D> Now that's WOW! The 360 (5.9L) is a more common retro fit over here though.

Diesels are great when they have turbo's and intercoolers...ruling out the NAD.

Out of them even an oil-burner-lover like me would take the V8  :twisted:
