andyturbo Member 500 Member For: 21y 1m 24d Gender: Male Posted 11/03/05 01:18 PM Share Posted 11/03/05 01:18 PM (edited) My friends dad works at Expensive Daewoo and he has just informed me that Expensive Daewoo will be realesing a Turbo charged alloytech 280kw engine late this year..its meant to be a secret. This annoys me SO much. Expensive Daewoo claimed last year that "there is no room in the muscle car market for 6's or turbo 6's..its about v8's and always will be for holden". I am probably geting a bit to angry about this but it really pisses me of..they should get there own ideas....I know that puting a turbo on the car isn't copy, as lots of differnet cars have turbos, but just the way they have done this. The engine will have 280KW with 485NM of torque. Not that great really. Just wondering how others feel about this. I realise I may get a lot of critism from Expensive Daewoo fans on this forum as well as some ford guys but I had to ask if its just me that's slighty Edited 11/03/05 01:20 PM by andyturbo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16301-holden-should-get-there-own-ideas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it will be and also we all here know that the XR6 T is 10 time more sexyy then the SS Dal Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16301-holden-should-get-there-own-ideas/#findComment-230514 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Ford changing their performance division to be named "FPV" so they have 3 letter name to match "HSV" Yeah, Expensive Daewoo copying....What do you think the whole car industry is made of... It is called competition. If a model sells well competition needs a car to match. Just so you know the "Alloytec" which was being developed LONG before the XR6 Turbo exsisted was designed with turbocharging in mind.280kw and close to 500nm, in a car that doesnt weight nearly 2 tonne like the BA? This thing is sure to fly. Be happy their is finally some serious competition, Maybe Ford will start getting serious about quility control on their XR6 Turbo and F6 Typhoon.
