Ford have so far to go to catch up to Expensive Daewoo that its not funny! , im not talking in terms of whats the fastest at the moment..but over the last 20-30 years.. what has Ford really done.. you think back to holden, and whether you like them or not..there are alot of tough cars that have graced our aussie streets! , VH SS, Vl grpa ss, walkinshaws, Vn grp a, the HSV's ... really, what has ford done that is comparable? people mention the X series fords from the 70's, but Expensive Daewoo also had the Monaros, Torana's ..etc etc. and HSV's always look a sh*tload better than anything tickford or fpv has come up with!

Racecar driver? Cricket team? Soccer team? Defiantely not one-eyed, but why pass up an oppurtunity to a) take the piss out of holdem, & b) take the piss out of Brandonnn???

The worlds fastest 4 door production car being the GTHO 2. The most highly prize and most valuable Australian muscle car of all time again the GTHO Dont get me wrong I like all aussie muscle Falcons ,Chargers,Monaros etc but there is only 1 king long live the GTHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 10/11/09 04:11 AM Share Posted 10/11/09 04:11 AM Best car to own is a company car.They cost nothing and you can use the money to buy a real race car. No one eyed wallies shooting carsonegenic radars at you there on the track, or if they do they all pat you on the back for having the fastest speed through the trap.I am not bias at all, I drove both the VE and the FG on and off the track before buying. Yep I bought the better car at the time. Um I just saw a review from europe where they had a 427 hsv it creamed a M5, it smoked an E63 and only the twin turbo V10 Audi kept any where near it on the strait. It smoked them all around the bends. And for half the price. And considering they only sold 144 of the 427 they were going to build it wont take long before it takes the mantel of most expensive Aussie car. UNFORDTUNATELY38 years is a long time for Ford to to ride on previous credit, and sorry but they have built under powered, over weight shiote since then. Even if the XC is still one of the best looking cars ford have made.And now we have something really good to work with and Ford gives us grief for playing with them.
