Would the XE feel greatly different to my x16?

Mine is out everyday.
Infact I'll look on the stack how many miles the car has done since it went in at the start of october.
Anybody want to guess? I think you will be surprised

v6 is the future!! trust me! so many people in lincoln are starting to realise how good they are, and no they're not over heavy! If you want a standard engine to run good power theres nothing better than a v6. Yes the xe's are quick, but in standard form are no way near as fun as a v6. Unless you spend money like a mate of mine has, then id go for a v6.
However, my mind has been craving a turbo lately, so......v6 turbo anyone?

I went from X14XE to C20XE with F20, got bored of that fairly quickly, and changed it to an F16 'box within 6weeks, I was perfectly happy with that. But then about 6weeks after that, a cheap LET cropped up and that eventually went in 6months after the C20XE first went in, I've now had my LET 18months.
