you reckon the BA was no good?

it was a good step forward for ford

new build, new engine from scratch, drive by wire, performance range

before the BA they were really lacking any decent performance models

280 tends to leave them crying in ur dust so....

maybe from stand still to ~70ks, but after that i doubt the SS would be crying...

That is at the flywheel.

i meant @flywheel

i want a hsv opinions?

dont gimme the its not jap shit, whats actually wrong with them

kgo.

*insert funky rage here*

HSV coupe/monaro. thank me in a few years when they're worth a pretty penny.

What's wrong with HSV? Nothing, if you like cheaply made family cars.

They're not a sports car and they never will be, despite what all the bogan racers say.

cheaply made yes, compared to an Audi. compared to a Nissan/Toyota? lol dont think so...

This.

Also getting an e46 m3 is kinda taking a backward step in that dept. I have easily seen off a couple of them.

Alex look into a GXP, full fat motor but a bit more subtle styling and cheaper

there's more to an ///M3 than just power/straight line speed

Alex, if you're going down that path, FG Typhoon, black on black

this.

I'm sorry did I logon to the wrong forum?

yes.

I know, thats why i qualified it with 'in that dept'. Don't doubt they are a decent car.

Also I've reduced a few SS bogans to tears in freeway-type situations. I think you're overestimating them.

lol i was wondering where mohsen was with his 2c on ford vs holden, then remembered that I banned him.

Thanks for that. No bs lebo stories

hmmm i might be. maybe those were the older 5.0/5.7 litre ones?

What'd he do this time?

Ask about 300ZX then achieving something... Then all I see from you is "Banned, kthxbi"

Thing is the weight of them increases with the newer models as well as the power. So the newer ones aren't heaps faster. Forget about the 5.0 though, even holden fanboys say they were rubbish.

My mate has a VE SSV ute and i honestly thought it was nothing special

Hahah

:laugh:

ok i was overestimating. just looked up for specs, ls2 ss 0-100 5.5sec 1/4 ~14.0sec

I believe Nissan achieved a time like those, if not lower back in 1989...

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
