Peter - They are going for between 30-35 retail with his rough sort of kms. If they buy it for 25,000 and put it up for say 32,990 to try and be competitive. 2,000 will go straight to the company pretending it wasn't in the deal (to cover things like accounts department etc that don't generate the company any income) - That's 27,000 it owes them, say it sits for a few weeks, so they drop it to 30,990. Then someone comes in and offers 28,000 plus on roads, they decline and say they can have it for $29,000. in their eyes they've made $2,000. That's if the car is in 100% perfect condition. Meaning it doesn't even need to be clean/detailed/tyres/body touch ups etc. which generally every car will need a proper clean before putting it on the lot - some places will use their own cleaners, some will use a professional company they liaise with (like us) which costs $330 for a full detail and clean.

It's definitely a personal choice. Happy for someone to correct me if I'm wrong but to get a new set of brembo's is gonna set you back heaps, on top of everything else. I'd think 7K would be quite conservative (unless you picked up some second hand for a couple o' K). Being that yours is so new, I wouldn't say it's ideal. You'll lose heaps on your car. I wouldn't imagine you'd be offered anymore than about 24-25 for the car mate. It's a lot to lose on a car with 20K clicks. I'd go suspension upgrade and like a stage 1 pack from somewhere and you'll be laughing. Unless you really love the shape.

I can definitely understand as it's a heavy car mate, but as the other gents have said, the car should be in no way laggy or unresponsive. after being in a heap of these cars, with GT/X 3576/82R/s and precision turbo's, I'm yet to feel one that id associate with the word unresponsive. I work for a massive European dealership in Perth and I'm yet to feel a car more responsive as these falcons with a bit of power in them (there's plenty that are similar, but nothing that's been better). About the only cars I haven't been behind the wheel of are ferrari's and lambo's. It just seems as though maybe there is an issue somewhere as it doesn't sound normal.

Just fixed up some of your mistakes there mate

I know there's plenty out there Stripes I just mean for when the new ones arrive in Oz.

Wow that's awesome. Hope it's still going!

If I had the money I'd butcher a V8 stang to put in a massive barra setup. I saw a few things about places experimenting with the 2.3L? Getting some reasonable power out of them. Think with some minor mods they got into the 12's down the 1/4. Dunno about what mods or how hard they were pushing it.

Well apparently they are pretty solid. But you can't go wrong with a turbo 6?... Or maybe just turbo the 8's

Hi All, Reading about these new ford mustangs that we are getting here in about December. Anyone have any ideas what Auto box they are using for these? On a slightly different note. Are we placing bets on how long it will be before someone throws in a turbo 6? haha.

Any updates?

1011rwhp?! What an animal!

Well actually, I'm not so certain of that... You've met my missus multiple times mate I'd take my chances with an Air hostess haha.

Becoz mad flutter #barra4lyf

Oh man, please do it haha. You get all these retards buying cruisers and patrols and chucking in RB's, chucking a Barra motor into an Amarok wouldn't be the weirdest thing. Certainly awesome though haha

Or when you ask for a drink and you get it because your missus gets it and the chair you are sitting on is your nice comfy couch chair cause you're at home and don't work fly in fly out...... :D

Oh oh. I can see this going down hill fast... People throwing out words like 'girth' and 'moist....

I can't say I'd Dislike running out of VB - Bloody horrible stuff

There is no dislike button for me to click Bizkets....

Hahahaha! Yeah mate. I just cannot understand people that bodge out and go 2 ply over 3. Some peoples priorities are way out of wack. That's just MY opinion #sh*tStirring

Now now Ralph, no need to make fun.... I'm sure he's about to tell us he has huge plans to drop in an F6 Motor in Right Ciaran?

Love that peter was the first to notice this. Think his favourite part of that must be that it says 'matures' in the link

*splooge*

This one is back up for sale in perth - Bullsbrook http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bullsbrook/cars-vans-utes/fpv-force-6-/1085880996 I was so tempted last time, and I'm so tempted again!

Yeah a lot of people really get into the whole antique furniture stuff. A good mate's mum has a major addiction to old suit cases. She's probably got about 100+ stacked around the house haha.

Keen to see how this build is continuing? Any updates? Waiting to see when you have it finished and take it out and scare the pants off yourself. It'll put a smile on your face and you certainly wont have those same thoughts that 'turbo's are so laggy and unresponsive'. And day's later all your old school mates will be doing the same. Be excited for this mate, it'll all be worth it when it's done
