Fpv To Supercharge New 5.0-Litre V8 To Give Ford A Power Boost To Riva

[Guest EGOXRT]

Sorry mate.

So how is the ride and NVH levels, have they used the locking fuel cap on this one ???? No, time to look at where your dollars go to fill the f*cker, drive was more important. NVH will impress, it is very quiet, you can hardly hear the blower.

Does the trim finaly line up nicely and look all one colour ???? Interior looks and feels the same as the rest of the FPV range

Have they improved the saggy bum ???? The car has only 1500km on it so it still feels tight, a little jittery over some bumps..

Does it push under throttle ???? Yes...lol

Does it shunt ????.. No

How is the light on off throttle responce ???? It's good, but not perfect.

Have you still got a stiffy ????

That video is awsome.

Thing is though the 6T's will always be cheaper and easier to modify to get more hp.

Each will have their charm I'm sure. I wouldn't sell my XR6T to get the new charged V8, but if I had the cash I would like one for a weekender! I need a more sedate daily especially as I drive to customer's premises and not everyone likes loud cars Also I assume the economy is better in the 6.

Do wish I had that sound though!

All the way through the rumours, the secrets and finaly the prdoduction I have though .. How are the going to out do the do XR6T ... seriously ???

I'm still thinking it has to be carrying 50ish kg over the front axles. Although I believe lower and a little further back.

Till I watched the vid, or rather listened.....bugger. And that was on a lap top. Now its not just the rush. Its got serious Audio adictiveness.

If that thing doesn't make you proud to be a ford fan nothing will.

awsome bit of machinery

sure the T will still have it's place for starters that beast has got to be worth 80k+

Why you would buy a manual new GT is beyond me. 1/2 the problem with (aftermarket) supercharged V8's is they don't have a decent auto behind them to get them moving quickly in a straight line. The new ZF mated to that engine should be pretty farken sweet

GS is low $50k (edit - that's the ute at 51,990, sedan is 56,990) and pretty comparable to the F6 from estimates based on the power, torque and 0-100 figures! They will be very popular.
