Personally, Im saving my coin for the last of the Aust-designed and built line... a replacement for my BA2 F6.. I really hope the result is a good one for us all..Mal K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be V6, V6TT and V8. Having an I6 would require a higher bonnet and longer front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big change though in terms of maintaining emissions over a longer period of time/km's. Inreases from 100,000km's to 160,000km's. I believe there were some issues with cold start emissions too, but I think they're ok with that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
