It does sound pretty tough though, well it is 6.0L! They wont be priced in the 40s, that's for sure. But it doesnt develop its peak power till 4400rpm which is 544Nm...but the Typhoon kicks its ass getting its 550Nm from 2000-4250rpm, yeah!At least our engines are 100% Aussie from go to whoa...unlike those Yankee/Expensive Daewoo ones.They are also bringing out an LS7 for the Z06 Corvette - 373kW! 7.0L!I saw it on carpoint.com.au yesterday.

Ezy10z Member 211 Member For: 21y 5m 20d Location: Ballarat Posted 09/10/04 02:35 AM Share Posted 09/10/04 02:35 AM I was watching Current Affair last night and they had a segment on the new ford and HSV range. Mark Skaife was driving the LS2 297kw version and he was accellerating through the gears it was fast and grunty. It will be interesting to see the price compared to the F6 and the old HSV range.Robbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we worry!! We should have been worried a year ago. Expensive Daewoo V8's are kicking everything Ford has to offer now. Thank goodness for the T, I know I don;t have to worry with APS Phase III.Sorry if I seem harsh in relation to ford but our V8 range doesn't seem to live up to the Dark sides range.

I dont understand why ford/FPV cannot hike up the power of xr/GT especially with Series II.Expensive Daewoo seem to increase power with new seriesGood on ya ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xspsi Guests Posted 09/10/04 03:26 AM Share Posted 09/10/04 03:26 AM 10k for a twin turbo kit? I would have thought it would have cost a lot more to twin turbo an 8 properly inlcuding, computer, fuel, turbos, manifolds, intercooler, piping, labour etc and I wonder what the stock engine would hold up like under this power. the ls1's seem to need pistons, rods, headgasket with not a whole lot of power.
