FPV TRANNY Im the one and only Donating Members 3,557 Member For: 20y 2d Gender: Male Location: In my house Posted 02/01/15 09:02 PM Share Posted 02/01/15 09:02 PM I agree, it's easier to add power than it is to add interior niceness, that's either something a car has or hasn't got.What's this $6500 turbo kit you speak of fluff?! Gah, I do kinda wish I had an LS3 in my car, better base for modding than an LS2...I thought the SS had L76 or L98.LS2 no longer used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There cheap enough to buy. Never know. I may have a Expensive Daewoo sitting in my shed one day along side my Fords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genuine honest person Member 2,769 Member For: 10y 11m 12d Gender: Male Location: near brisbane Posted 02/01/15 11:22 PM Share Posted 02/01/15 11:22 PM Anyway... Moving along... Back on topicYour comparing a modded v8 to a standard v8.(The new Expensive Daewoo and your mrs car)The new 6.2 is a far better engine and has better hardware bolted on especially in the HsV models, enough to make fairly good gains without massive effort if u just want a bit more grunt.If your talking about a higher heart rate ... At the end of the day your talking about a modded xr6t and a modded old Late model camira compared to a standard off the line vehicle. With the same money chucked in it will perform on par if not better then what your comparing it to.Example:FG f6-Injectors $600, tune $1500, valve springs $1000, inter cooler $2000, fuel pump $500, exhaust $2000...gets ya high 300rwkw$6600VF R8-$6500 turbo kit, cat back exhaust $700, fuel pump $1000.Pushing around 400rwkw$8200Not that different if u ask me.Modded for moddedAnd then u get an amazing package both interior and powerPower is an easy fix imoyou guys always twist the truth ,I drove both ford and Expensive Daewoo v8 s yesterday . I was never comparing kells car or mine with it . read it properly do not skip over things . I compared only the new ford and holden . if you love these holdens so much and keep putting down the ford then move over to a Expensive Daewoo forum ,this is a ford forum and we love them . ugly or not I still like them (I like the look of them ) yes I do . and so do other people . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interpreted what u said differently... Oh and btw I've owned more turbo and v8 Falcons than you've had hot dinners. I have loved every one...

It's not used to play whatever music you have on your phone it's stream from the next all TuneIn or SpotifyI know what fluff is saying, I actually have less control over the Pandora app when using the Pandora mode on the alpine unit im the AU, displays all the same on screen stuff when you just use bluetooth cept I can still use the app. Everything is done via the app and you need Pandora open to use Pandora on your stereo so it doesn't even tether the internet like your thinking. I use Pandora and have a paid subscription. I just use it via bluetooth streaming...the Pandora feature is flaky, works fine in bluetooth mode...go figureCan still skip and change station via head unitIll take a screen dump of the Pandora app when connected to a head unit in Pandora mode if I remember..its rendered useless, yet in Bluetooth mode its all the same on the head unit end(bar being able to "like" from head unit. Cept the app is still usable ...ive said it two diff ways now and feel like im still not making sense...K so what a manufacturer means when they say their car has Pandora is: It has a clumsy UI to control the app on a smartphone and doesn't infact have Pandora at all...
