And then you will relize if you spend a couple of grand on you FGturbo you could drive it not [trailer it ] to the drags and run 12s all day and still have a 2 great cars. I am on my second mid life crisis and am enjoying it more learning about late model power and easy mods from all these young blokes . So forget the gay sh*t and have some fun ....that's my take anyway cheers. MISTY Edited 07/01/10 12:57 PM by misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the new engine being fitted to the falcon in the next model ..has the performance numbers to match..I can see people moving back into an 8..Most of the posts on this forum, in this and other topics people say...nothing quite like a sound of an 8...So if the performance numbers improve so will there sales....Sorry if I offened you about the ghay thing...Was only trying to stir the pot a little...

I know your thinking of going a Expensive Daewoo v8, but isnt it the same principle? Your gonna buy a more expensive car, and still get beat by a car that is not near as expensive, irrespective of what brand either is. Are you just justifying it cos Expensive Daewoo dont do a quicker, cheaper car?. Correct me if im wrong but it seems a bit contradictory. And if they do bring out a new v8 whith better performance, of coarse people will switch over, as it will offer better BFB. After all that's why most of us are in 6t's, it offers the best BFB available now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
