Guest jteale Guests Posted 21/07/04 05:53 AM Posted 21/07/04 05:53 AM Remember torque has a lot to do with how well it performs on the road ... the current Barra will find it hard to rev as hard but being an i6 has great torque delivery... can't imagine it will change much about who does or does not buy a Commodore ... never see me in one :lol:

I am being taken out to lunch by a dealer next week to try and win me to the dark side. :lol: They will probably be offering a contract with a set buy back price. It may be tempting for a few cars as I seem to have to haggle for every Ford I sell. They will have to come up with something good to get me to give up my Turbo. (No I don't think that will happen)

The power war is well under way A.

The power war is well under way A. In front wheel drive? That'd be fun - notMaybe in the AWD models. Hard to imagine a Magna with over 200kw though ...
