<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Interesting article, but it contains a few flaws.  The MKII transmission is a Ford toploader, not a Borg-Warner.  They quoted the Tiger torque peak as occurring at 2200 RPM.  That's for the MK1 and MK1A 260 engine.  The MKII's 289 will have a torque peak at around 3000 RPM.  They got the production numbers wrong for the Tiger.  Rated HP for the 289 is 200 HP, not 174 HP.  The reduced number might be the result of trying to convert from SAE to DIN for comparison purposes but I would expect to see a number of about 180 HP, not 174.  The comment about jiggly ride may have been due to the fact that their Tiger example was fitted with Konis.  Since Konis are adjustable and we don't know the settings on their car we don't know how firm a ride the car will have.  A better comparison would be with a tiger fitted with stock shocks.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Their comments on serviceability and parts availability were interesting.  It probably is easier and cheaper to maintain the MGBGT V8 drive train than a Ford drivetrain in the UK.  I would expect the reverse in the US.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br style="background:none;font:400 13.33px arial,sans-serif;outline:transparent 0px;border:0px rgb(34,34,34);width:auto;text-align:left;color:rgb(34,34,34);text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;overflow:visible;text-decoration:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><span style="font:400 13.33px arial,sans-serif;text-align:left;color:rgb(34,34,34);text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;text-decoration:none;word-spacing:0px;display:inline;white-space:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;float:none;background-color:transparent">-- </span><br style="background:none;font:400 13.33px arial,sans-serif;outline:transparent 0px;border:0px rgb(34,34,34);width:auto;text-align:left;color:rgb(34,34,34);text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;overflow:visible;text-decoration:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><div class="gmail_signature" style="background:none;font:400 13.33px arial,sans-serif;outline:transparent 0px;border:0px rgb(34,34,34);width:736px;text-align:left;color:rgb(34,34,34);text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;overflow:visible;text-decoration:none;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><div style="background:none;font:400 13.33px arial,sans-serif;outline:transparent 0px;border:0px rgb(34,34,34);width:736px;overflow:visible;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal" dir="ltr">Will - 382001570 <br style="background:none;font:400 13.33px arial,sans-serif;outline:transparent 0px;border:0px rgb(34,34,34);width:auto;overflow:visible;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><a style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" href="mailto:Tigers@embarqmail.com" target="_blank">Tigers@embarqmail.com</a></div></div><b></b><i></i><u></u><strike></strike><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><b></b><i></i><u></u><strike></strike><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 12:50 PM, Jay Laifman via Tigers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net" target="_blank">tigers@autox.team.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid"><div dir="ltr">I just came across this article and thought I'd share it.  <div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.britishv8.org/Articles/MGB-GT-V8-vs-Sunbeam-Tiger.htm" target="_blank">http://www.britishv8.org/<wbr>Articles/MGB-GT-V8-vs-Sunbeam-<wbr>Tiger.htm</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
