PhilMeUp Member 1,045 Member For: 16y 9m 7d Gender: Male Location: Perth, Western Australia Posted 23/10/15 09:28 AM Share Posted 23/10/15 09:28 AM I hate the fact that the "sedan based" utes are going the way of the dinosaur. Once the Falc and Commy are gone, the only options are the Thai made diesel sh*tboxes. I've owned nearly all of them and they are good cars / trucks - reliable, economical etc, but f*cking boring things to drive. Unless they grow a set and make a sportier version of, maybe a Ford Ranger with a miami V8? LS2 Colorado. I don't like my chances, but I can dream.... This.I don't need 4WD or high ground clearance. I need something where I can step up from the ground to the tray as I push a motorbike up the ramp and into the tray.It's a city car, driven on bitumen roads. I don't need off-road capability.And I don't need massively priced parts - 4WD tyres and other maintenance costs.How is it that we are the only country that makes use of a sedan-style ute? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90545-fords-final-xr6-turbo/page/22/#findComment-1566260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 11y 5m 4d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 27/10/15 02:52 AM Share Posted 27/10/15 02:52 AM Lol, drag an 8yo donk off the shelf, boom. I guess that was always the ace up their sleve but seriously it needs 6/4 brembos and something better than the old "r spec" suspension or its still going to get owned by the 304kw ss on a circuit. Will still eat it at the strip no doubt but...

boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 19y 11m 5d Posted 27/10/15 03:06 AM Share Posted 27/10/15 03:06 AM So it's definitely not all XR6Ts' that will get the 310KW motor?...it will be just the sprint models?They should just drop the FPV motor in all the series 2 FGX Turbos...and just sell them with the upgraded Brembo 4 POTs...Is there any word on what the Police services will use post XR and SS?...(there was that article about the Mustang...)
