Default Ford GT V6 Capri owners opininions

Anyone who has owned a Aussie GT V6 Capri, what is your thoughts on the car and back in the days how it rated against the rest XW-Y-A Falcons and the big 6 Cortina or LC-J Torana GTR or even a XU-1 or even a Valiant VG Pacer or VH Charger ?

Was the GT V6 Capri the best town runabout on offer back in the day ? as not everyone had the balls to drive a big V8 GT as such is just a bit to much for most average people to handle.

Maybe the spirited dude could drive the Capri as hard as and enjoy such totally but a big V8 GT Falcon could easy get out of control by giving it to much stick and loose it.

Was the V6 a harsh chaffcutter rubbish like the Holden VN V6.

If I had a Capri I would think of putting in a Holden VS-T-X-Y 3.6L V6 5sp for sure.
I would never fit a V8 in to such nowadays as a rego street driven car nowadays but South Africa did have a V8 302 Windsor back in the days nice rocket ship. but a Commodore V6 powered would kill it nowadays overall.
