OK simular story except I'm one step ahead of u.

Me and my mate both started off with cars with identical 0-100 times about 8 seconds, I'm only going to mention that his car was a a brand new 2006 2.0 sub lib (which his parent brought him) I had an EL Fairmont, my main problem was traction as I didnt have lsd, so he just took it upon himself to proclaim his car faster. After a while I got sick of the car and sold it and picked up a VX S Manual, which kanned his subaru no dramas....just so happens a week later his car "accidently" rolled itself on a straight road hmmm. so he got the insurance payout a month later his upgraded to the 3.0 version which 0-100 does about a 6.9 and like I think paul said I GOT EVERY SINGLE F*&$*ING STAT you could get "its got all wheel drive", "it feels twice as fast as my last car", "180kws", pretty much "It'd have your car on toast!", both of us being on our P's he liked to exentuate the fact that "Its the fastest legal car you can drive on your P's la la la". or so he thought untill I secretly found a loop hole in the rules. So after a while I got sick of the S pac and sold it, saved up for a while and bought an XR6T.

So I got talking to him again over the net one day and I let slip that I had a new car. Imeddiatly he was interested "what is it?" I just said "an xr6" and he goes "oh k yeh nice blah blah blah" and then started his rant about how he draged some v8 Late model camira and blew him off the road, and I just politely congratulated him. Then he wants to see a picture of it so I send him a pic of an XR6 off the net. His like "oh yeh looks alright done a few k's (150000)"

Any way a few days later were talking on the phone and his like "oh yeh hows the new car going, pretty quick is it?" I said "oh yeh she goes alright" his like "ha ha oh yeh, next time I'm up I'll take you for a drive and show you quick" I said "that would be awesome cant wait mate".

anyway a few weeks later I was down in Melbourne and he took me for a drive in his car and I acted all impressed, "Bloody hell that hammers mate you'd have my car on toast" his like "Take us for a drive in your car" (btw I had already removed the turbo badge to avoid cops- so he coudnt tell it was a T) I just acted all kool about it "oh nah its just like every other XR6 mate" he wouldnt let up so I said "oh k, we'll just go for a quite spin around the block" (trying to hold back a sheepish grin) so we pull out and putt around the first few corners and then as soon as we hit the open road I plant it and his like "F*%KInG HELL.....this things fast as" I just looked across at him and added "well it is turbo'd"

THE LOOK ON HIS FACE= PRICELESS!!!!!

"I thought u said it was an xr6"

And as though it was on que this started "ohhh u shouldnt of got the turbo version, blows head gaskets left right and centre, all my dads friends have blown like 6 head gaskets each" blah blah blah

I've searched all over the net I cant find anything about them blowing head gaskets at all.

Classic, I knew there was no way I was the only one in this boat!!!

Just a little update. After finally getting called to pick up the F6-310, I called my mate and let him know the good news. He said he was going to be over my way, so could he drop into the dealership as I picked it up. I said no probs, come on over.

So I'm getting the grand tour of my new beast, and about half way through my mate turns up, looking more than a little glum. His first comment...'It's only a six!' to which I reply 'How many Kw's you got big fella?' and I get a sheepish '290' :-)

I'm thinking this is a prime opportunity to take the piss out of him for real. I'm standing at the front passenger side whilst Grant from Alto is in the drivers seat running me through a few of the features. My mates standing over by the drivers door looking over Grants shoulder. I looked at the inside running board and notice the 'Ford Performance Vehicle' in black and politely ask my mate...

"Hey? Is there a silver panel on the running board there that says "Ford Performance Vehicle?" Without skipping a beat he replies "Yeah man, for sure...there's one here alright!" After about five seconds he realised I was taking the piss as obviously his XR8 is NOT an FPV.

I can only wish I'd had a camera in my hand as he looked up, funny as f#$$. :stupid:
