SS Inductions

[Redhawk]

Just ordered my SS Induction kit with BMC filter $700 fitted.

Herrods price for the exact same deal $850.90.

And my warranty is unaffected as the dealer is fitting it!!

2 weeks........2 weeks..........2 weeks!! :(

I amazed at how many of us are switching so soon to the Boss motors. Considering how awesome the T is. Maybe I need to experience a Boss.

Be very careful Scotty, because once you do, you might not be able to say no any longer

I think a T is the best car anywhere at the moment for serious mods to make good times vs cost, also the fact it can be driven sedately like a N/A 6cyl and a racecar on the weekend. But for me after driving the boss the noise and smoothness of the donk is really an enjoyable experience!

Pretty ordinary against a slightly modded T eh Hawk  

Hope your still laughing it up at resale time. :lol:

I'm with you Hawkie, not to mention the awesome open road drive these things deliver, "No speed limiter anybody". And anybody worried about feul economy should go immediately to their local Hyundai dealer, the GT guzzles when your up it 18.5 ltr per 100klm medium, 22.5 hard, 14.5 normal. I have noticed once they get a few Ks on them 2000+ they do seem to go a bit harder. The trouble for the quarter is keeping the back wheels from spinning. But then again when the T has hit the speed limiter and is wallowing all over the road with no chance of stopping on the standard brakes, well the GT is @ around 4500rpm in fourth and still getting its gander up. Thank god all roads go for much longer than a quarter mile :banghead:

GT-P fuel economy.

Normal driving 11-13l/100km

City traffic 13-15l/100km

Av speed 160km/h 15l/100km

Av speed 180km/h 18l/100km

Av speed 210km/h 22l/100km

250km/h , you can actually see the fuel gauge move

* high speed averages are approximate and measured over several thousand kms in NT by dividing fuel used by distance travelled and not by that stupid fuel usage meter.

My GT-P has 42,000km on it, it had 27,000 km when I did thos tests in November last year.

Thanks for the info, my turbo averaged 13.6l/100km with 95% easy city driving, so for a big V8 this is excellent, could I ask a few other questions, what problems/if any have you had so far? has it loosened up/can you notice the difference in power? Any other info greatly appreciated, My GT IS 4 loooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnng weeks away!

Once you do you will never go back, handling sound etc non-comparable IMHO, and when you do a little mod work the mighty GT will push you back in your seat when you plant it at 200+ while the T will cough and surge on the speed limiter. When you brake at 200+ the GT will stop fast and true every time the T will shake and shudder as it tramlines across 2 lanes . But then again when you plant your foot at the lights the T will take off like a silkworm missile. Both top machines, depends on our personal tastes

Question ? How hard can it be Ford ? Bring together the best of both worlds.

What have you got ??? A wooorld beater. Then add mods , it would have to be T motor IMHO ,with a solid drivetrain, suspension enhancements and importantly decent stoppers. Makes ya lie awake at night ..........the possibilites ?? LS2 when ?
