Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 3m 17d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 25/04/13 11:32 PM Share Posted 25/04/13 11:32 PM (edited) plenty of tuned xr6t's wouldnt take this on ....Yeah that's pretty obvious.. But I think the point most people are making is that the stock 430kw would be very attractive to someone who didn't want to risk a defect for modding a car.. I guess alot is gonna depend on the rwkw figure though.. Edited 25/04/13 11:33 PM by Slightly Depressed Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 13y 11m 2d Gender: Male Posted 25/04/13 11:51 PM Author Share Posted 25/04/13 11:51 PM I seriously doubt that FPV will match or come near to those power figures.It has more power and torque than the BMW M5 and E63 AMG however they may still be a tad faster to the 0-100km/h than the GTS.The only way I see Ford beating these numbers from the GTS is to import the more powerful Mustang engine..... that's not going to happen.From the Herald-Sun CarsGuide there is a little more information mentioned such as 5 stage stability control and the 6 piston front and 4 piston rear brakes!http://www.carsguide.com.au/news-and-reviews/car-news/new_hsv_gts_australias_most_powerful_car?origin=hpc1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you pull that figure from? 430=300on the wheels? It will run high 11s stock.. Makes about 350on the wheels in testing. Farking 300on the wheels... Now you are talking like a real farking Ford Fanboy.And not heavier, it's actually 70kg lighter than the VE GTS!
