Cortina

[Britney]

A range of four and six cylinder sedans created by ford, running from the late 60s through to the mid 80s. Offered as only a 4 cylinder in the european market, Ford Australia imported numerous [Cortinas] and fitted them with a six cylinder engine from the local family sized car of the time the Falcon, whilst this endowed the [cortina] with prodigious straight line speed, the heavier six cylinder tended to make the car [understeer]. The increase in power and despite a heavier engine in the front, does make the six cylinder cortina an excellent car for burnouts. The easiset way to tell the difference between a 4 and 6 cylinder [Cortina] is the presence of a bulge on the bonnet in six cylinder equipped cars.
