Are eb11/ed 6cyl more grunty then ef/el?

[riverrat321]

This may seem like a stupid question but I owned an ef 6cyl which was rather gutless off the mark. Didn't spin wheels in a straight line if i remember correctly. My current vn would leave it for dead. Years ago I drove a couple of Eb11 and ed falcons and from memory they were much more grunty off the mark and spun wheels in a straight line pretty easily. I'm talking 6cyl auto's here by the way. Anyone have any ideas?
