kaldek Member 71 Member For: 17y 9m 28d Posted 06/06/08 04:05 AM Share Posted 06/06/08 04:05 AM The world's changing folks, and faster than we expected.We'll come through it OK eh, but maybe not with combustion engines. The next generation of ricer crowd will be talking about how many amps, watts, and volts their cars have.No problem with performance in electric cars - max torque ALL the time - just energy storage being the main problem. But once that's the only way for car makers to turn a profit, we'll find rapid advances in energy storage as money is thrown at the problem.My BFII turbo is on a 3-year lease, ending in Aug 2010 with a $20k residual. As of the last few months, the car might be un-sellable by then. Which only makes my dreams of an FG turbo even more ridiculous!

I filled the xr8 on tuesday on synergy 8000 ,1/4 tank left and it cost just under $85 to fill. it used to cost $60 (ahh memories)I think I might have to do what my brother does and just close my eyes when I fill up and not look at the price Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44551-petrol-price-explosion-1699cl-sydney/page/9/#findComment-689038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
