Have you driven a Defender with the GM V8? I have and think its orrible - way too heavy at the front end. The gearing has to be so high to reach 70 mph its a slug as soon as it hits a hill.I think the hummers massive diesel engine in the defender would be a good call.:flame2:
The transfer box ratios are nice and high on these for sensible cruising and economy - my V8 is Overfinched with gearing to make it rev and a set of revised shift points to use the revs. Not fast as in car fast, by fast as in Defender fast.Everone keeps sayign the V8s are fast. There not. My 4.6 range rover has a very tight new engine, but its far from fast.:

V8 just because of the noise. Yes it might die if it gets wet, and yes it might drink more fuel than a cruise liner but it sounds sooooooooooo good.
So you agree.....a 200tdi and a cd of a V8![]()
