Flukey

Uncle Dags will explain one day

How nice is that No rear spoiler either. Edit: Just noticed they retain the guard indicators as well as on the mirrors.

Guide only. For the average punter who doesnt hang out at Calder Park, what else is there to go by when comparing performance of two cars? Regardless, the new T sounds like it will be quicker than the SS and the GT, while the F6 will probably be quicker again and slap the HSV's too.

I didnt think it was that funny mate , but what ever floats your boat. By published, I mean MOTOR magazine. I dont rate manufacturer figures nor do I rate WHEELS figures because they test with 2 people and a full tank of juice. Motor have done mid 13's from memory in the VE SS but I will check when I get home tonight. On the BA times achieved by MOTOR, yes their times have varied depending on model and test conditions etc. The quickest BA was the seies 1 T which recorded 5.9 for 0-100. No other BA's got close to it until the Phoon was released.

And they look like Fusions to me. But yes, a great concept.

I know alot of guys have had success just by leaving it in performance mode. I know this was the case with the 4-speed auto, you would just slip the shifter to the left and let the trnny do the work.

Which I dont agree with, because you have to spend $50K on a $45K car, to make it the equal of the competition. To me that's illogical. Options dont add any value come trade time, all they might do is differentiate one car from another. So the Ford is worth $45K, but we pay $50K for it, and the Bogan special is $50K but you pay $50K. If that makes sence. I dont mean to pick out of it, I just think its an anomoly because the Fords dont align as well as they used to with Holden, model wise.

I dont think that's right mate. The recorded and published 0-100 times for the SS reflect easy 13sec passes.

So XR8 and the T have identical pricing which I guess because the SS starts around that price now. So, what do Ford have as a competitor to the Bogan special ? Is it the XR8 with luxury pack?

8.8 would be my guess.

The luxury pack still wont bring the T up to the G6ET standard. Not sure on the pricing differences. Comparison of Specs

I think you are pretty close too. Not sure if they would release the XR6T as a low 13's car becuase then it will embarrass the GT which Ford cant have. The GT I suspect wont do better than mid 13's, if that.

5.9 0-100 is OK. Wheels are rubbish though.

I actuallly read this in a Malaysian newspaper when I was o/s last week. Funny stuff.

I also heard it had cracked sub 5.0 for 0-100. Quick if its the case.

Hawks won

Really? Well I stand corrected then

You would hope so Pat. The appeal would drop considerably for enthusiasts like us if it doesnt

Maybe when the GTHO gets released. HO was always for high output, so adding 5kw's isnt going to cut the mustard. Ford would have to add a blower to get much more out of the Boss

Serious?. I would have give you more

Robbie's are gems Dags topics are always good value.

+ labour Hopefully your car is in good nick and you will come out of it OK.

Lol, my Mrs thought I was over the mid-life crisis Tab when I gave up the Ford and couldnt drag race anymore She would think I am having another MLC if I went back to a (fast) Ford.

I dont know about "crawling" Pat Its not like the 325 is a Expensive Daewoo or anything. That said, its hardly a torque monster

Hows this one. Not exactly what I had in mind..
