More importantly, any advice on how to talk the missus into letting me buy one without having to part with the F6?

Very Nice. I can't wait to take one for a drive.

One thing I don't like are the exhaust tips. They look like HSV tips, and I've always thought they look poxy.

So how is the ride and NVH levels, have they used the locking fuel cap on this one ????

Does the trim finaly line up nicely and look all one colour ????

Have they improved the saggy bum ????

Does it push under throttle ????

Does it shunt ????

How is the light on off throttle responce ????

Have you still got a stiffy ????

Getting your missus to let you buy one will be easy, take here for a drive, she will leave the deposit for you..lol

No burnout pics mate, we don't do that sort of thing here in Campbellfield.

Seriously though, I think they have done a stellar job with the engine on this thing. It has a willingness to rev like never before, and just keeps making power all the way to the limiter, this is with only 6psi. Wind it up and get some decent charge air cooling and stand back. They have had one at over 450fwk on the dyno, but on the road the drive train is not able to cope real well. If the exhaust has the ability to flow well for future mods, it is a keeper, sounds f*cking horn.

The gearbox still feels sh*t, typical Tremec and some of that clumsiness over the front axle still exists but is much better. The engine is the real star here, this thing is worthy of many sales and shows how good a Aussie product SHOULD be.

I would loved to haven taken video, but there was just no time, sorry fellas..

I'm certainly interested in the driveline shunt, good questions.

  • No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!
