Awaiting Ford Focus RS arrival. Drift mode looks fun and they staunched the 2.3L up from the muzzie also!

Would be nice, Reckon it will be very expensive with the dollar

FA20 looks good so far. Now they need to make a FA25 :P.

Glad to see I'm not the only person thinking this. Although the twin scroll turbo on the fa20 makes the low down torque quite good even compared to my ej25

Edit: fa20 also needs unequal length headers. Sounds wrong otherwise

They defiantly look the business, there's a shit load of them on the gold coast already. nearly rivalled the amount of 86's I saw today. I would have to have a v8 though, no 4 banger is going to do the mustang justice, maybe should have offered a turbo 6 option instead of the 4. I reckon for the price it would want to have a decent amount of build quality behind it.

A turbo 6 would be way faster than the 8 though. Look at the XR6 turbo, turn the boost up and you're already way quicker than an XR8

In regard to the price vs build quality.

The Mustang in Australia is just like European beer, you go to Europe and that shit is bottom shelf garbage, you export it to Australia it becomes a "Premium Import" top shelf pricing for the same shit.

I would definitely own one in the US as the price is great for what you get.

You don't buy an OLD Mustang for build quality. It's 2016, this car has the fit and finish of a car 10 years ago. Not good enough. It's definitely got cool factor but not enough for me.

Has build quality changed at all in the last 10 years? Genuinely did not have that impression, but I haven't owned anything close to that new lol.

My impression is that USA build quality is similar to Falcodores (or worse).

Aren't they getting fairly reliable and well featured and reasonably nice nowadays? My impression was that USA were generally a bit behind with suspension etc, and they're all autos, but otherwise similar.

i have driven a couple of rental Mustangs and Camaros in the states and found them fairly similar to Australian built cars. Don't have that Jap attention to detail or classy Euro interiors, but really robust, felt well built and seemed to handle all the rental abuse without falling apart

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
