March 13, 200422 yr #21 Author What build number did the 'P' cars end at??Personally would not want to own one of them reading how these auto journos put the cars through their paces......flog 'em more like!! Congrats Mr Wool you have the lowest number so far (thanks Aniken).Hawky, you want to see the state of the tyres on the GT-P press car at a certain Perth Dealership. What ours will look like after April Drivers day I should imagine.
March 15, 200422 yr #23 I know about the 2 extra cylinders, the sound the fact its a GT or GT-P. The really comfortable seats. Brembo brakes, did I mention the sound and all the other things the GT cars have, but have any of you defectors noticed that the Turbo is quicker. I'm being serious here not trying to start any fights but we have a couple of GT-Ps in our club and my stock standard T beats them to the 100 by 3/4's of a car length. Ones a manual which is a little quicker than the auto. The only time it is quicker seams to be in the licence loosing territoy. Since there is more in Aussie than NZ maybe you can tell me im wrong and that they have duds? If not bring on the Typhoon.
March 15, 200422 yr #24 Your right mate, the T is a tad quicker to 100kph, but after that.........good night the fox!Personally I don't care about quickness it's the all round package of the GT that sold me.If I want quick I'll fit a supercharger, then probably have trouble getting the tyres to stick! :lol: Ask one of the GT owners in your club if you can have a drive of their car, I think you'll soon give 'quick' a lower priority!
March 15, 200422 yr #25 Interesting discussion, you blokes in the south have. I picked up GT no 391 ( a merc silver black stripes Tiptronic-love the gearbox) out of the local show room here in Townsville on 12/12/03. Couldnt be bothered ordering something . Put 5000 k's on it in the first month. What can I say, sensational!.0-100k's and 1/4 mile times are irrelevant to us, its 1400k's to Brissy alone.Besides, there's nothing like the feel of a Big V8 under your Bum.There is a growing number of GT's finding their way into North Queensland. Even understand, there is a GT-P on Blocks in an airconditioned shed with carpet on the floor, about an hour to the south of here.
March 15, 200422 yr #27 Welcome bbong Got some pics of your beast you can share Why do you think someone has put a GT-P on blocks, do they really think it is going to be collectable in the future? l have my doubts, they should be out enjoying it instead of watchng it depreciate before their eyes.Cheers
March 15, 200422 yr #28 I would love to be in the club, I think Mondie is providing positive thoughts on my behalf,I want 290+kw, I had 240kw, but now for lotsa reasons I've sunk back to 182kw! Remember the old Mr Squiggle and that blackboard?MMMMM HURRY UP! Cameron
March 15, 200422 yr #29 Hey Al, is that a piece of your artwork?It's cool, whatever it is. Wish I could claim ownership mate but alas no.It's a teaser poster for the upcoming Alien V's Predator movie due out in August!
March 16, 200422 yr #30 Havent had time to take too many pics. Here's one of us parked outside the Kurramine Beach Hotel (250k's north of Townsville)on our clubs ( the N.Q. Performance Ford Club ) 2nd run. My car is two days old in this Photo & has 1000k's on the clock.The Blood 'T'comes from ingham.Dont know much about the 'P'on blocks, but I understand the Family also has a Phase 3 in a similar shed. The beauty of these cars is in the driving!
