Dont know about the current model but the LS1 can be beaten.....LS2's require a $hit driver to be left behind. What dealership you getting it from. Ive only driven one phoon but Id say you should flog him.........mmmmm phooon....

Yummy!The new SS ute's deserve respect (with the right driver of course) for sure.For quick utes - in one of the current motoring mags, they compare the Maloo, the Super Pursuit, and the F6 Tornado.The HSV Maloo is one quick utility - even though it has a different chassis and suspension that's near-useless for a load... Why not Edit the F6 anyway, and prove the point somewhat decisively... with three mates in the car?

I usually use nothing but zaino and I'm a detailing *beep* so im prepared for the worst hahaha.. if I do get the car today, my saturday will be spent zainoing it and sunday running it in and smiling hahahAre you running your amps etc straight off the highlevel outputs from the factory head unit?? All my mates in the game have recommended an AudioControl LC6 converter that will totally clean up the factory head units sound plus an optional sub level controller..http://mobileaudiocontrol.com/product.asp?...249&l1=5249&l2=Supposedly its just as good as an aftermarket deck but is only around the $3-350 mark which isnt too bad.. You can always add in a DVD/satnav source later Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20108-z-is-gone-helllooooooo-typhoon/#findComment-294873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I do it rains the next day on the way to work and ends up filthy again. I just use some turtle wax was stuff....but any cleaning recommendations pass them on!!! Thanks for the audio advice.....I run the amps through a alpine line level converter of the factory head unit. I must check out/hear your system when you get it together as I'm keen as mustard to solve my crappy sound. My subs were great when I ran them off my alpine deck (also had alpine mini disk with equaliser). I also have another alpine amp and splits for the front. Your mates SS has no chance, but with an exhaust and cam the LS1 can certainly move.

(~$3k my cost)Tune next week for 'hopefully' solid high 12.. Being a ute, it needs that bit more than the sedans to get going.. Yours with the same mods 'should' go a low 12.. pretty impressive these thing BFYB, even stock..
