Faster would be the V10. More rpm would mean more speed. Quicker? who knows!

?? not sure ,, mine has been great but I did have 3 warranty items that I pushed to get resolved ,, and since then I seem to be ok? i did pitch in over 1k to upgrade the known issues thanks to this and other ford forums input

the oil changes are pricey do to volume as are filters$$ but so far so good .. I make all my comments in fun ,, I think the V 10 is a dam cool platform I just have never driven one
