ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 4m 1d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 24/03/10 03:05 AM Author Share Posted 24/03/10 03:05 AM A standard XT Falcon would obliterate a GTHO around a track. You can bet that any GTHO from FPV will involve a lot of stickers, limited edition badging and all the options. I am sure they will build it and harde core fans will never be happy, but the speculators will buy them and try to sell them at a premium, just like the 40th & Cobra.I doubt we will ever see a appreciating australian made car again in my lifetime, even if it is a GTHO.

IBOO is right, make it a track spec car or something.

When asked about a supercharged version, he smiled and said 'oh I forget what they are doing there, but its going to be awesome.'

Too powerful for the drive train.Source is AFF.

RapidF6 Member 125 Member For: 16y 9m 9d Gender: Male Location: Fremantle, W.A. Posted 29/03/10 12:59 AM Share Posted 29/03/10 12:59 AM (edited) That's true, tab. But the testers, who have been testing the engine at 375kw and 620nm, are busting parts. Looks like they need to time to source stronger parts or maybe detune the engines a bit. It all takes time...Not good for FPV if this ends up happening seeing as how FPV sell more V8s than i6Turbos.Turns out it is the diff and IRS. And maybe not 6 months...Also: http://blogs.popularhotrodding.com/6658872/hard-driving/2011-mustang-50/index.htmlLooks like the 5.0 Coyote as a base is gonna be a great engine!

Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 4m 1d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 29/03/10 02:13 AM Author Share Posted 29/03/10 02:13 AM I wonder how much truth there is in parts breaking on the coyote cars.We see modded 400+rwkw cars here being able to keep their ZF and Diffs together for extended periods of time without failure. The main problems seem to be CV joints and this is mostly in drag racing applications with prepped tracks and sticker tyres.I hope we do not see a delayed launch as FPV will have nothing to sell except F6's come 30th June 2010.
