Pffft....Dan doesn't care.....he's used to being thrown under the bus! Refer to selling an awesome car for some lame one....cause it was too noisy :stickpoke:

Did a dig on the old thread....here's what I posted (don't know how to put a direct quote in properly...but this shall do):

Hopefully they sell like hotcakes and I can buy a good second handy in 2018 :P

Looks like someone hasnt been keeping up with the FG X thread :P

Theres a rumour Ford will hold out and release a limited edition XR6T in 2016 with F6 engine and Rspec suspension (similar to new XR8 spec)...

I can see the F6 engine...but Rspec setup would be pretty sweet if it happens

I have it on to authority there will be no 310 xr6t. Don't be wishful.

The barra 270 fg motor is the only turbo power pack that will see out production. I will wage property & assets on that

And 4 people liked his comment including you Jake! hahaha

Time well spent..............NOT!

Just had a roll on with a blown vf maloo that was lumpy as. Had to turn a corner from a set of lights onto a main road. Was probably from about 40k and I didn't get a kick down, apart from the half a car length he got whilst turning the corner that's where I stayed....until he had to grab another cog, I hadn't pulled to the top of second yet so he must have been in 1st. Was blown for sure could hear it whine.

STOCK G6ET! Power below the line ftw

Yeah nah

I drove a bakillion g6ets

Not gonna be pumping a vf r8 let alone a blown v8 of any kind

Was he spinning on quiet tyres and u didn't realise?

That's my guess

Edits just read your last line

And yes I do agree barnz... My bff was tuned to 240 rwkw and jet had 330 in his ba ... I keep up every day coz he was spinning ....

And yeah

If pick street able power over show power any day!

But never the less all the turbo ford range go amazing for standard !!!

And I do love g6ets well above any model ls1 car ever released

In actual fact

Don't really like the r8

If that car with those looks and design aspects had the ford turbo engine in it = would bang 10/10

Steady I didn't say pumped, I didn't say beat, he wasn't spinning. It was from 40 to like 90 lol, I would have been the one getting pumped on the quarter I think.

The point is its impressive the less powerful car even kept up. The Miami boys have the same problem getting beaten by less powerful turbos, even seen cat600 talk about this in depth when talking circle d converters.

Barra ftw
