Wow so the luxury model is faster?! Go figure ey...

I truly am a Ford man. I wish I could a afford a BA> XR8, because if I could I sure would miss my Skyline.

The FG shape really is growing on me. At the motor show I thought from the side view it looked too plain. Especially with the performance models there is no chunky side skirts of aggressive bodywork to really emphasise the Ford muscle under the bonnet. But as the days go on I'm liking it more and more... hard not to with those times!

Fear the twin-turbo V6 in 2010!!!

The W427 looks like shit?

Sure it's 7 litres and 370-odd kw but I'll bet it won't go that much better than the FPV F6 to warrant the extra cost. It'll be a car made for the die hard Holden fans (That'll probably get munched by someone that gets an F6 and plays with the power a little bit - or someone with an R35 lol)

I never said the W427 looked good, it was more about the quickest Aussie car built

I seriously doubt that ford will allow the turbo to be so quick.( 12s ). The trend in the past has always been to push the V8 for the top line performance car and the everything else after it. if the factory turbo falc is running that fast it will kill the market for the V8...As for a twin turbo V6 in the future model....I am a little sceptical they will do this,maybe if it comes from Ford US twin turbo, but I just dont see Ford Oz going down the engineering path trying to squeeze twin turbos onto a V6. Its a far more expensive excercise than the single turbo straight six currently in production

they are going to market them xr6t n xr8 on same level. gone are the day's where the xr8 was supreme..... they actualy are ALOT different to drive overall then the previous ba/bf.. totaly re-designed over all, alot of work has gone into this thing... its going to be a good thing.

    • Thanks! I'm gonna go for a high paying job so a gtr should be in the budget at some point. Is the wasteland the place for general socialization?
    • Yes they're fairly common, especially where there's kids around like in an apartment complex. The kids will see the characters and then (hopefully) read the sign that says not to enter because it's dangerous.  I've seen them on busy roads where kids wouldn't be hanging around as well, but not every time. It could be down to the city/town where it is and how cutesey (lol) they want to present their construction sites
    • Nice cars and coffee at MX5 Mania today, saw a V6 engine swap from a Jag, and a super tidy K swap, heaps of MX5 of all variants, alot alot of other cool things as well LOL That truck was farking huge
    • I'd be surprised if it's a problem. A highflow cat doesn't present a massive restriction. You'd have to be tuned on the ragged edge for there to be any likelihood of something going wrong.
    • Problem with putting them back on my ignition timing with the tune might get screwed up. What u think?
