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:<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Expensive Daewoo have got the LS2 and the new V6 engines not to mention a small face lift. Ford could of at least increased their power a little. GT is just a big slug, embaressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh we used to be faster. WHAT ABOUT NOW!!!!!Yeah phase 3 was good but its now 2004.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest casgeroth Guests Posted 07/12/04 11:52 PM Share Posted 07/12/04 11:52 PM HSV have done a very good job of keeping their followers fired up.They had the HRT427, although stillborn, still had the fans excited enough to think they could have their own supercar, and from what I remember they had a lot of very keen people willing to put down initial payments.Now they have the LS2 coming into the VZ line, and the GTSR in a concept form.Now why can't FPV do this?Believe me, I want a Typhoon as much as the next guy, but the thought of even a concept 'GTHO' doing 12's and looking freakin' hot in the BA shape is enough to make your hair stand up on end.From the look of it HSV aren't holding back and their fans are gobbling it up.... is there a reason why FPV should hold back? They've got the ability to make a legend of a car, and they sure as hell could sell them... JUST DO IT DAMMIT! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
