But then I did have another dealer {which I did not tell him my budget was}and he tryed to tell me to trade in and get a New 2009 FG Ego GT-P with dark argents . It was a Beast but still 62k I dont have haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't expect the to see it in the magazines.I'll be expecting mid to low 12's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 15/12/09 03:16 AM Share Posted 15/12/09 03:16 AM (edited) Me thinks the V8 is going to get all the attention and the F6 will get a few new dress up parts from the 8 and nothing else. It sells too well and they wont bother. Edited 15/12/09 03:16 AM by XR09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troytroy Member 6 Member For: 15y 7m 11d Posted 22/12/09 10:41 AM Share Posted 22/12/09 10:41 AM If they don't add bigger rear tyes on the next model, they don't deserve to sell any. Getting around with the power and torque outputs they have now with 245s is bordering on irresponsible. I'd love to know what an XR6T or even better an FPV F6 with half worn tyres will do 0-100 and the quarter mile just to see the tyres overall effect on performance. Most people on these forums will statistically have half worn tyres?At least with 265s and above you can get away with it a little more with the torque outputs.

F6Rdodg'nroos Member 164 Member For: 16y 3m 26d Location: NSW-The Taxed State Posted 24/12/09 09:52 AM Share Posted 24/12/09 09:52 AM 2010 will see the end of current format I6 and Boss no matter what due to EuroIV Emissions control. I6 may go direct injection, but unlikely as they (Fraud) already have the V6 twin turbo planned from the US powerplant, and will unlikely ever match the power and torque of the I6, so the F6 as we know it is likely to be canned long term. Same goes for V8 Boss is dead - Coyote will be the next platform. They're alloy, stll have overhead cams, but lighter and higher revving, and with force fed air, should scream.If they release a revised F6 with the current I6 retuned to 320+Kw and 600NM, it will have to be before July and Euro IV comes in, and absolutely will have to come with 265+ rear tread and beefier lower suspension as standard to put the power down.As more than 60% of FPV sales are V8's most likely scenario is a broader range of Coyote based V8's N/A, supercharged and a single model V6 with the twin snails.The V8's I'm guessing will need to be the big sellers to bring FPV's fight to HSV.
