cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 6m 25d Posted 28/04/04 09:37 AM Share Posted 28/04/04 09:37 AM I remember reading somewhere that Ford have registered the name Hurricane and there was speculation as to whether this would be the name of an FPV Territory. Judging by the good write up the Territory has been getting I would certainly look forward to seeing an FPV version. I have obviously yet to drive a Territory but I wonder how dynamically different it is to a normal Falcon. Would it handle more like a Suburu Forester or a Liberty? If FPV did a Turbo Territory I wonder if it would be 280kw (ala F6) or 240kw (ala T6). If FPV could do a reasonable job of the handling and few minor cosmetic changes then the Hurricane would be a damn good car. Maybe I'm dreaming but imagine this... A more agressive looking, better handling (lower, bigger wheels) FPV Hurricane with something similar to a phase 3 kit! How would that float your boat? Albeit a 2.1 tonne Ford boat... 375kw, AWD and wagon practicallity....sounds like an Aussie RS6 to me....

Oh, how nice that would be.A full house Territory that's been tricked up by FPV really appeals with 3 young kids. lf we could get our bums into one of those for around 70 grand l would give it some serious consideration.
