harasn Used to work at the Ford Proving Ground! Lifetime Members 306 Member For: 21y 9m 27d Gender: Male Location: Geelong Posted 11/03/03 09:24 AM Share Posted 11/03/03 09:24 AM what would the top speed these cars would reach around winton race track. I don't know the track but I'm just wondering how the comodorres were around 2.5 seconds faster when the other times for the monaro cv8 are about the same as the turbo. Odd. Did they have Garth Tander driving again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe the Expensive Daewoo guys actually think a lap time round a race track is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be spewing if you owned a R8 - twice the money and it goes slower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSE2 Member 322 Member For: 21y 11m 16d Location: Tasmania Posted 11/03/03 10:31 PM Author Share Posted 11/03/03 10:31 PM won't spoil the article completely for you, but"the fact that the XR6T got this far into the PCOTY judging is a credit to the mindset at Ford Aust. We wonder if they'll ever realise just how close it ultimately came to claiming the crown" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
