(most of these guys would keep there 8's stock and never here them for what they are)BTW im not a v8 hater, ive owned 2 along with 3 turbos.
Guest Guests Posted 09/12/04 08:04 PM Posted 09/12/04 08:04 PM Had a drive of a mate's MkI FPV GT on Wednesday down the old Pacific high way. He don't have many mods just the Herrod spacer and the Herrod sure shift and the Brembos, but that's one nice peace of work, real point and shoot type driving.And because Im on the subject can you all make a little noise for the OLD PACIFIC HIGH WAY, that's got to be one of the best back roads in NSW. Bugger know how many bike riders can't be wrong (there where 5 bikes to ever car and a lot of them are GT fans, we were getting the nod as the screamed past the other way all afternoon).All Sydney members should get out and enjoy the Old Pacific, but have a go at it during the week, to much trafic on the week end.The Boss is just a throw back to a day when you needed a V8 to go fast, see what happens to the Boss when Ford get the new N/A 220kw 6 into production. Whack a Turbo to that thing and watch high end Euro car owner hide, or go out and buy Fords. In my eyes the GTs a lot of fun, try saying its sh*t on a 55km/h corner at 115km/h (and lived to tell the tale).God bless Brembos.

jordak Member 1,226 Member For: 22y 3m 18d Posted 12/12/04 01:25 PM Posted 12/12/04 01:25 PM Lot of coin that SS induction thingy......Id be spending my hard earned on a XR8 airbox, a lot cheaper, and some good gains to be had.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I've tried both and $ aside the SS induction worked better for me. I also tried the SS and the XR8 airbox combined and despite the increase in intake noice, it had a negative effect. Some thing to do with the ram effect possibly. Getting rid of the ribs in the airbox proved to be a better reward for effort.Steve
