Mitchtj Member 24 Member For: 17y 5m 9d Posted 19/07/07 10:38 AM Share Posted 19/07/07 10:38 AM Sounds ok although I think they should have aimed for a little more power to really blow them HSV's away.The 300kw typhoon will be HSV's biggest worry there, it could see 12 second runs stock.But we just know HSV will respond with more power, which is better for the consumer in the end, I was hoping the E range would have a true GTS flagship, it didn't though :(. The Rumoured 500HP GTSR should be out in time for the Orion launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aiboart Member 665 Member For: 19y 11m 13d Posted 19/07/07 10:58 AM Share Posted 19/07/07 10:58 AM Not worried my 260kw will beat the Orions 260kw no problem.I think we may be looking at the Pinnacle of the ford falcon, all down hill from 2010. I hope I'm wrong.The Raccoon eyes are growing on me, It will look very tough coming up in the rear view mirror.And finally the GT has enough power to take it to HSWee.Pushrod V8's in Falcon from 2010, this is after a 320kw state of the art alloy quad cam .... Sounds like the kind of technology that people will que up for in markets around the world.Cost cutting is all very well, but who exactly is will be buying this stuff, who will aspire to own it?. Can you imagine what will be coming out of Europe and Japan in 2010?Well it sounds like a plan, fight the emergent chinese car industry for the ultra low margin end of the car market. Should work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
