  1. Listen to the wording, big advances over VZ they say, we already knew that the BA BF kicked the Dores ass for handling, so now we have a contender, comments made about the fact that after a fair belting on the track that they dont chew up tyres like they did, for a Billion big ones I should hope not, structrual ridgity improved to the point where they claim that the VE is THE most structually ridgid mass produced car in the world, their words not mine, and the price to pay for all this?? Air conditioning a $2000 option on Omega, and a real spare will cost you anything from 200 to 600 dollars extra. Outcome is, like its already been said, better cars all round. And if your worried about getting your ass kicked on the street, get over it!
  2. I'm familiar with this piece of road, must of been some thing go way wrong for a 360 not to take this turn, very sad story.
  3. I'm confused, theres too many Commodes to dislike now. So TW is putting his name to a range of performance options for the Lion. I'd say conflict but, they say its more customizing from brakes to full house club cars. I think Expensive Daewoo might be confused as to the publics opinion of Mr Wakinshaw. Talk about a hole that didnt need filling. Check the Cars Guide for article.
  4. If they make us watch repeats all the time then F*$K em, boycott it!! I'll go and watch my 3 races a year live.
  5. He will be running in NASCAR eventually, but has to earns his stripes in Craftsman first V8's could take a leaf outta that book!!!
  6. I like the new Ford ones Dags, though I'm pretty sure the Expensive Daewoo ones are the ones they use on the Brutes.
  7. I emailed FPV and got a direct response telling me that the front and rear offsets are different in the sedans, therefore there are sedan sets and ute sets, I think the ute uses four fronts.
  8. Reliable source Danno???, the Quad Cam Boss thing is a big selling point Having said that the Benz S/C 5.4 is good for 350kw and 700nm, and its "only" a 3 valver

    Tyres - Again!

    I can see an ADVAN Sport V103, AVS ES100 and an AVS V102, could it be one of these?
  10. Meyek, Are you saying that M3's and M5's are rice? Then the next thing you say is how they have to lighten them up??? When I was in fiberglass fabrication I built a one peice front end for Hans Van Dyk's HJ, Super Plus Performance sponsered, my whole front end GTS spoiler blended in and all weighed in at 22kgs, a HJ bonnet weighs 45kg's, you do the maths, Trying to remember, is it one Kilo or one Pound = 1hp??
  11. Pity Whincup raced with GRM last year, would be my bet for rookie of the year after that performance
  12. Some cool pics there Aeron, WHO DA F&^K put an LS1 in Bimmer!
  13. That siht is psis funny!!!
  14. Looks the biz too, Carbon Fibre bonnet, Charcoal 19's, and their words not mine, "a WRC style handbrake lever" Also incorperated F6 into DRIFT eg, DRIF6, in the paint scheme. FULLY SIC, all it needs now is some big blowoff noise and were done
  15. Todays Auto Action, 400kw Typhoon Drift Car, built by the guys at FPV in their spare time, that's what I'm talkin bout!! Sorry cant find any pics on the net.
  16. Slik, LMFAO!!!!! , Turbo6man, bizzare!!
  17. If there was a reason to cross to the dark side at the moment, I would'nt be tempted my a 2 Door Taxi that's for sure, I can't understsand how Expensive Daewoo dont seem to be able to shoot themselves in the foot, there's nothing wrong with their aim that's for sure, eg 297kw LS2 Powered Clubbies for, $49,990!!!! WTF, that's $2000 bucks under the list price for an SS, and about the same price as the runout SSZ, or you could order the newly powered up SS, 260kw L76, Motors times with a V Box, 5.6 0-100 and 13.8 400m, I do beleive that's on par with the fastest HSV theve tested, witch was a 297 Coupe. I just dont get how the guys that have just been told. "nah they wont put the 6.0 in the VZ's mate, safe as houses, HSV only!!!", what a crock.
  18. I think Motor have said previously that they test with a full tank and 2 up?? Please flame me if you know otherwise.
  19. I actually cant believe that this conversation is even taking place, let alone 3 pages of it, I love the BA BF Falcon, its definately the best car Ford Australia has ever built, and yes its a first class car for the market it is in, BUT, like Dallas says, its a whole host of other stuff that makes ownership of a car like a Bimmer a great experiance, like the loan car and"oh they all do that" sort of stuff, it just dosent happen, also apples and apples, ie stock versus stock, the Bimmer will kill a T, Phoon, GT or any other Falcon you would like to throw at it. End of rant!
  20. Cmon guys we need a show like this to get of the ground, yes its a copy of Top Gear, and the problem is??? Some great shots of the T, last one I saw they had the Super Pursuit and the Tornado head to head, great stuff!!!

    will it fit!?

    All depends on how Handy you are with da spanners and stuff, mates always, well nearly always help, and now with the Forums you can also draw on that experiance. Really dont think it would be a huge problem, hooking it all up like Falchoon said that would be where the work lies. Had a mate who fitted an Alloy Head II of an XF onto a XC block and fitted it into an XY Sedan with a Single Rail and ran the XE Webber carby set on it, did it all with Ford parts, no cutting and shutting, and it went like stink, it was a freak, him and myself at 120 MPH side by side, nothin in it, aahhh, the good old days.
  22. Love it!!! No harm done Dude.
  23. Just checked it out Zap, right you are, Pikes Peak special, not group B rally car, my bad.
  24. Ari Vatanen, the guy is a Rally GOD, the car is a Group B rally car with close to 600 hp and Two wheel drive, as if it wasnt already amazing enough.
  25. Do I hear, "The Dukes Reloaded!!" blarin out of those pipes?? Ahh, pretty sure the EFIJY is a showcar, but what a car!
