notorious benny Member 54 Member For: 16y 1m 28d Posted 15/09/10 12:21 PM Share Posted 15/09/10 12:21 PM I will be buying a newGT next year!! I can't wait. I have no intention of modifying mine and really don't care if a tuned xr is faster or not....... In fact as long as its as quick as my stock as a rock Fg turbo I will be a happy man!!! For me its being able to own a ford that has a bent eight under the bonnet that can at least match it with the red team........ I really love my turbo, but to be able to own a supercharged factory backed V8......... I reckon 90 percent of owners will be doing what I intend to do and keep them stock in the engine department besides for a daily driven car how much power do you really need???

It will look something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagnman Member 567 Member For: 15y 3m 4d Posted 15/09/10 01:14 PM Share Posted 15/09/10 01:14 PM As said above I think the chassis already struggles with the power that these cars are making std. Wheel spin is already an issue and as these cars get more and more powerful from the factory they will have to be tuned softer and softer down low so as to keep them safe and drivable from johhny average and maintain driveline durability for the warrantee period.Booring.BUTThis does however mean that there will always be a big window for aftermarket tuning to unleash the beasts for us enthusiasts.

It will look something like this.can you tell me what the performance specs are of that commodore ? (that should have been aborted before birth)...keep stirring the pot, that's fine, but once you see what FPV have in store with another boosted V8 variant, I'm sure your tune will change and you'll stop looking for HSV come backs.
