Any of you ready to shelve out 80k+It costs a lot at that end of the scale. most wont even stump for an APS kit. If yo really wanted that much 0-100 then iyts there for the asking. We can all whinge about Ford not delivering a 13 sec car. Would you buy one if they did and it was 80k +?I dont think so........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPV 521 FPV521 Member 989 Member For: 20y 4m 11d Gender: Male Posted 07/12/04 08:00 AM Share Posted 07/12/04 08:00 AM How much does one cost? Probably talking about a car that few of us will ever own. I would modify a turbo and you could probably do the same times and not spend the money. Some of the guys on this site has some very quick cars and have paid a lot less.FPV do have to lift there profile a bit more in saying that. You just need to keep the pricing where more of the general public can afford to pay for them.Tweek the GT a bit more. maybe. Factory super charger would be great.I am guessing that Expensive Daewoo would be around the $100,000 mark? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>$78.690 I do understand what your saying but im trying to look at this from a busness point of view, of selling motor cars and getting new custormers<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah from a business point of view I agree. Also I was expecting the car to be worth in excess of 100,000 so 80,000 isnt to bad I guess if you have got the cash <{POST_SNAPBACK}>If I had $80k I'd be buying a T and dropping one of the nizpro 1000hp jobbies into it. It'd blow any Expensive Daewoo off the strip.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I dont have 80 either so dont bother thinking about what I would do.By the time you buy the Turbo at say 40 and spend another 38 on that engine and get drive line etc done you will blow 80 easily <{POST_SNAPBACK}>But you will still be driving a T <{POST_SNAPBACK}>that's true gotta love the Turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all whinge about Ford not delivering a 13 sec car. Would you buy one if they did and it was 80k +?I dont think so...........Yeah I think I would pay $80k for a car like that from Ford.I buy my cars outright but if Ford produced something that would appreciate like a Phase 3,then I would be prepared to take a loan out to buy it(wish I'd bought a T3 TS 50- look at the resale on those beauties).If you've got everything you want in a car under finance then I guess you don't need to find the bucks to modify it.But yes your right $80k is pushing the limit for a locally built car.On the other hand the HSV mob seem prepared to hand over the dosh.

MRK 2 and all they can offer is wow, different colours and oh my god new wheels and a wow mrk 2 badge. NO EXTRA POWER NO WEIGHT REDUCTION .... stupid...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I always hear of people bagging oujt the mkII because of the minor changes that have been done. I never expected there to be a major changes from the mkI and mkII, after all isnt that just a series change? I havn't seen Expensive Daewoo make any drastic changes lately with the vy and vy series 2, its only when they reached the vz where the major changes occured.Maybe we should all wait until ford release the new falcon model and see if the changes are major or minor before we start bagging the MkIIthat's My 2cents Worth. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Turbo Next stage, to the Pub in 10 seconds Member 2,777 Member For: 20y 5m 3d Gender: Male Location: Berwick Victoria Posted 07/12/04 10:24 AM Share Posted 07/12/04 10:24 AM It's not about " just get a T mod it up and blow away HSV". Its about FPV already having this vehicle as stock off the shelf car and blowing away HSV by FPV as a brand name...A brand name to be proud of. FPV need a super car just like a GTS.So we can link a Clubsport-R8 with an GT, However there is a missing link with a GTS and Ford has nothing at this time to fill in the gap. Rob...

Mondie Firm Member Donating Members 2,924 Member For: 22y 2m 15d Location: Adelaide Hills Posted 07/12/04 10:55 AM Share Posted 07/12/04 10:55 AM Awesome l say, it all helps to improve the breed. l would rather a new HSV which pulls a 5 sec 0-100 than a VL Walkinshaw that pulls the same in just under 7 sec. l know which one is safer in both passive and active safety, greatly improved braking capacity, chassis rigisidty in line with power to weight etc.Well done HSV No doubt Flint will come out and blah blah on about how they arent competing with HSV but rather offering a more complete package etc but the sales figures may well change that attitude, just as they did in 2001 and which led to the T3.FPV can sit on their arses any longer.
