This thread has really exploded with intelligence... However, I did say in an earlier post a resonable on topic debate can not be held on this forum, Mr DOHC and his bogan gang are out of the woods and into the name calling and crap comments about a car... VERY SAD GUYS! You look soooooooooooooooooo pathetic. Giving myself and evey other person who has a CLUE about anything a good laugh That better not have been directed at me... Or else I'll fly over there and give you an atomic wedgy.

stang Donating Members 1,353 Member For: 21y 3m 18d Location: Melbourne Posted 12/03/05 06:07 AM Share Posted 12/03/05 06:07 AM Guys If I remember right I saw the car in a car magazine at the servo only a 3 sec read but price was around $70K.Expensive Daewoo have the v8 marketwhat goons that buy holdens are going to spend that type of money ona turbo 280kw at 5000 and somethin revs.I think estimate was 13.8 for the quarter.Not doubting the guy who started this thread but I saw the magazine the same day this post was started, he might want to ask his friend to stop crappingas god knows how many days the magazine has been on the shelf.

BlueXR6Turbo The Best Member Donating Members 1,970 Member For: 22y 3m 29d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 12/03/05 07:54 AM Share Posted 12/03/05 07:54 AM I remember the twin turbo V6 Late model camira being the topic of several conversations about a year ago. This is all very old news to me. The jist of the conversation (with a couple of Expensive Daewoo employees) was that the twin turbo will happen, but that it won't really be all that fast. But being Expensive Daewoo people, they could have been full of sh*t too!But whatever happens, time will tell. For now, I'm happy being in an XR6 Turbo. And even if Expensive Daewoo bring out a turbo that sh*ts all over the XR6T, I'll still be happy in my XR6T. (That will just be more incentive for mods! ) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16301-holden-should-get-there-own-ideas/page/5/#findComment-230709 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Senator Guests Posted 12/03/05 09:34 AM Share Posted 12/03/05 09:34 AM How could anybody and the author of this forum be angry that Expensive Daewoo considering a turbo Late model camira at some later stage. Wont such a vehilce compel Ford to better the XR6T or some other new vehilce or the new Falcon in 2007. Lets bare in mind that Toyota are doing the same thing soon with a Turbo Camry Sportivo and the Mitsubishi Galant, ex magna, is to have a turbo charged variant. This is the future as big V8's will soon die off and ever increasing petrol prices will severely impact upon these types of vehicles. Expensive Daewoo is doing nothing worng but trying to be competitive. The BA XR6T has been out nearly 2 and half years and is miles in front of Expensive Daewoo who is playing catch up, but they did do it first with the VL Turbo, although a Nissan motor, and it was back in 1986.Regardless boys, our XR's look the best and have the best looken dash in the world.
