They are in financial sh*te, there is a global recession and people all emo about global warming, but Expensive Daewoo have the guts to produce such a car. What do Ford do, well in the past they dropped V8's from their range. All I can say is Ford you have the GTHO name, get off your respective asses and build the Blue Oval Australina fans something to be proud of.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yeh the FG turbos are farken awesome and kick ass over the standard HSV's etc but we have no walkinshaw or W427 equivalents when really we could have a fire breathing GTHO with a shelby stang GT500 blown Boss stuffed into it.. or a nice boosted F6 of some description..the turbos are so under tuned its not even funny, FPV could easily tweak the boost, strengthen a few random things to put a 300rwkw FG F6 out there with little additional stress to the driveline components etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't understand how many general car sales the HSV range has generated for Holden.Although, judging by all real world performance figures, etc, the F6 as it is, is more than a match for the W427. If FPV tickled it a little more, the red boy will need to put two 7 litre motors just to keep up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
