XR / SS bunfight prob getting old but..

 

Stripes just a thought, iirc your GT had power mods? even minimum mods I'm guessing say 350rwkw

 

I just remember when I first got the ute tuned... before was sh*t-ish handling, now felt much sh*tter

 

Limits reached way quicker etc etc

Approx 220rwkw approx SS gotta take a lot more to get to those limits...

 

sh*t argument?

As Steve said, stock. And I didn't actually say that the GT handled like sh*t, just not as well as my Redline did. It's not about what it's doing on the limit. I drove all 3 of my cars around the track and for me it's more about how the chassis responds to driver input and how it makes use of the power it has.

 

Fark, I just had a quick read of this thread

just about enough to send a man insane

did you need therapy for very long @.Stripes. ?

Man, you don't even wanna know the shrink bill...

Don't judge me. You love your coffee as much as I do, Mr Judgey-mc-judge face.

The only thing out of place is the comment that the technology on the ford is from 1977.

Hahaha real funny considering one has DOHC and one stil uses OHV.
