i remember reading about the VE series, and Tom Walkinshaw was saying that its a top of the line sports car and can easily compare to a supercar, and he said it is pretty much a supercar in every aspect... In my aspect they are chunks of sh!t. Whoever says fords arnt reliable are wrong, how many AU and EL taxi's have done over 1million k's and never not once have they sh!t themselves when i and mates at work have worked on them. Original engines and everything still running strong (shocking compression though)
Also my uncle has a vy s2 r8, one burnout and the box sh!t itself, 7grand damage. His son has a xr6 turbo, 282kw at the wheels. One diff and 2 gearboxes.
The new ba's arnt the best, XR8 and GT's coping engine replacements, IRS diffs sh!tting themselves, Gearboxes blowing, Clutches frying. But get a straight gas BA xt auto.. Reliability is the word id use.
Also, for the holden lovers.. Thrash a holden as much as my r33 has been thrashed and we will c how many pieces u get ur engine and car back in...
