Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 7m 16d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 09/11/08 05:51 AM Share Posted 09/11/08 05:51 AM Hi people...I do have to say... I have always been a Ford man... And I used to hate it when I owned my previous Fords and got smoked by Holdens and HSV's...Now, thanks to the T... It has all changed...I haven't been smoked, or even simmered since I have upgraded to my T and have done a little work to it...Actually, on my "private road", I have had a VE R8 pull up next to me... Big green piece... With HULK written in a big sticker across the back of it...317kw... Nice looking machine, I have to admit that...BUT... I did allow him to taste all of the rubber coming from my 351.3rwkw of pure Ford grunt... I think I may have even managed to get 352rwkw!!! Has anyone else had their faith restored in Ford since they bought out the T??? Everything up until this has always been slow and frustrating to drive as a Ford fan...Worm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel ya worm its great knowing your driving a car with such power as the T. Its funny with the Expensive Daewoo and japcrap crews if u find a 12sec car there its an icon to the rest of them its one of the quickest cars in the world in their eyes but then u look at the XR6t crew 12sec is just another T with mild power lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem was it still lacked the grunt of the HSVs... Always one step behind...Ford pure looks, EL 185 XR8, with a tickford kit and 16s is awesome. Very nice...

Guest Spinifex Guests Posted 09/11/08 07:05 AM Share Posted 09/11/08 07:05 AM Growing up, I always had valiants.. Hey! Shup! Or bikes.. I had an XM wagon with a 200 super pursuit motor old mate had stuck windsor pistons in, cost me 50 bucks had it for years, my first Ford. I had a WB ute that was a money pit, then I bought an XF S pak wagon that was nice..Then I had more Vals, and started buying new cars, couple Hyundais`. ( again, shup!! ) I just dislike Holdens - GM cars more than I love Fords.I love me Phoon to bits.. It`s not perfect, but the good far outweighs the less than good.I`d buy another FPV car for sure. If I was to buy a new car, right now it`d be a G6E Turbo, jeez they are noice mate eh..Money no object? I`ve never been a V8 person, but I`d like a white with red leather GTE please.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO The T and F6 is hands down the best car you can own power wise, small dollars spent can acheive great power figures.I've noticed lately that a lot of Expensive Daewoo drivers dont try and drag me as much as they used to, maybe a lot of them are waking up to the fact that their cars dont cut it when it comes to the T...
