FPV TRANNY Im the one and only Donating Members 3,557 Member For: 20y 1m 23d Gender: Male Location: In my house Posted 16/09/06 08:10 AM Share Posted 16/09/06 08:10 AM I too had a TX3 laser turbo that made a respectable 135kw at the front treads and at the time smashed current VX clubbies and was easy to drive.It just gave your arms a little work out.I'm wondering why your TX3 Laser Turbo out accelerate a VX Clubsport at the time? It was probably a bit lighter so the power to weight ratio would have been in your favour? Does that imply the new supercharged Aurion could do the same against current Fords and Holdens?←No just stating that front wheel drives are not that bad to drive with some moderate power.I do sure believe that the new Toyota will be of better build quality then the current Fords anyway.I think its all good that other manufacturers are bringing some forced induction cars out aswell.It makes for some healthy competition.I think it looks good but half you guys will shoot it down cause its not a Ford.My 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it still wouldn't pull the top off a rice pudding..... Front wheel drives are for hair dressers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just too bad about the reliability of the rover, 2 engine rebuilds, gearbox done, 3 radiators the list goes on aye all within 20,000kms, all honesty I hardly ever drove it really really hard! ....petrol prices are wayyy to high!

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 11m 9d Posted 16/09/06 10:19 AM Share Posted 16/09/06 10:19 AM Im a little biased here but Toyota build great motors but find the need to put them in sh*tty cars. Hence my last car project was the combinaiton of some classic Toyota style and a modern toyota motor. But seriously wtf is the point of that, a charged fwd, hrmm that would be handy with all that weight on the front end and low down torque going round a roundabout. Looks like Ethel and Lesly will straping on the lawn bowls hats as they blast of for a quick ride to the bingo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
