harryh Donating Members 166 Member For: 14y 3m 19d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 06/11/10 02:56 AM Share Posted 06/11/10 02:56 AM Interesting article and not the first to give the points to Expensive Daewoo for dynamics (suspension set up). This should not be too hard a fix Ford... get this right and we will be head and shoulders above HSV, lets stick it to them!!! I am yet to see a comparison with the automatic models. With this in play, I am sure the FPV will win more convincingly as the ZF auto is significantly better than the Expensive Daewoo option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winstor Member 611 Member For: 15y 10m 18d Posted 06/11/10 05:19 AM Share Posted 06/11/10 05:19 AM What really f*cks me off is that the media, the majority of the time, are complete twats.We have proven mid 12s with stock F6s, with slips and videos as proof, yet the media always quote a quarter mile time of low to mid 13s and then say it is only a smidgen faster than the HSV R8. I have yet to see a sub 13s time slip for a stock R8, and the ones I have seen have been from cars with tunes, intake mods, cams etc etc....I just hope these morons will do the new GT justice and show how much it rapes the GTS and R8s.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 07/11/10 04:13 AM Share Posted 07/11/10 04:13 AM The postition of that screen will take your eyes completely off the road. Barely leaving a little periphial vision. Which most cage drivers don't use anyway.I would put it up there with texting. I have 12gb of music on my classic and it can be ..... well naughty finding a song I want to hear. And the Ford screen is in a much better position to at let least give my subconscience a chance of saving me when I am an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
