mercturbo Member 696 Member For: 21y 10m 26d Location: Geelong Posted 04/10/04 04:11 AM Share Posted 04/10/04 04:11 AM So how is everyones GT's and XR8'S going? Sweet Red had her 15,000ks service a few weeks ago and the only thing to report was that it had apparently used about 500mls 1/2 a litre of oil over those kms (out of around 7 litres so they tell me) big deal. The past weekend I took her for a blast to the Blue Mountains, Cootamundra, Bathurst, Cowra, Oberon and districts for a family function. Did 1900kms over 3 days over various terrain- Hume 115ks on cruise, to hilly, undulating country around Cootamundra and Oberon. Pushed the red girl to over twice posted safe cornering speed numerous times without a hint of getting off track or giving me any grief. Plenty of passenger grief if ya know what I mean. This car is sensational, from overtaking great swathes of slowass NSW drivers up long mountain straights to cornering flat out, fully loaded, this 1800kg auto 290kw beast averaged 11L/100km calculated, used no oil, has no shunt. From purring like a kitten on the Hume to roaring like a steam train at 5500, it never even hinted at missing a beat. After 18,400ks it really does just get better and better. So far no brake shudder and no fade even after numerous repeated downhill applications. However when one passenger requested to be let out so she could walk home, "sorry can't stop now" Divorce papers to be served forthwith" but hey you only live once right?
