Dec 29, 2008 - lol. stupidest argument ever. You really have to compare the cars stock, from the manufacturer, and in this case the Ford rules. Want to talk mods? your stroked 8 will soon be compared to a (GASP) Japanese car that will rape it in every way. Lets keep the argument about the car that was produced for sale as is. Australian cars are know world wide to have terrible build quality and generally under-perform for what they are. The F6 is changing that opinion, so i say go Ford!

Dec 29, 2008 - I know what your saying. Holden fan boys only have the "If mine had a turbo" argument left. There Holden has been beaten by a turbo 6 and there not happy. I think the fact there saying "If i put a turbo on my 8" says a lot about what they understand about the engines and how to get the power. Please, bolt a turbo to your HSV without doing any internal streanthening and working out your compression ratio and make it a daily driver faster than an F6, see how far you get for reasonable money.

Japanese have a boy racer image. Chinese have copied everything from everywhere else... poorly. The Germans... and the Americans (who in my opinion have the worst buid quality) can't manage a bank account We all need a niche... ours is great drivelines, decent styling, crap build quality. But be better then the americans at doing it

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrroo Says:

Jan 1, 2009 - I'd agree, except putting German cars under the "Bad built quality", there pretty decent in comparison to all the others you mentioned. And maybe the Australian cars drivelines, not to crash hot from my experiences. A ford 9inch cant make up for all the failures we had had to deal with in the past years. But we have made big improvements, the proof being the big Kw, reasonably heavy sedans we make and supply a driveline that can deal with it.

Jan 4, 2009 - Nice until you end up wrapped around a pole, or even worse, through some one else's car....

Jan 4, 2009 - even HSV lost ~~ but I still love HSV a lot

Jan 4, 2009 - Both HSV & FPV make excellent cars, can we all just leave it at that, I'm tired of the Holden vs Ford bullshit, it's like comparing Pepsi and Coke, they both cater to the same market. Who cares if the turbo is faster, It doesn't mean the HSV is a bad car. Yeah the turbo is quicker, so fucking what, the HSV is still a great performance machine.

blockie44 Says:

Jan 4, 2009 - yeah but the whole point of spending all that money is so you can say your faster than someone else! male ego my friend.. and i must say hsv boy's ego must have been damaged hahahaha!

blockie44 Says:

Jan 4, 2009 - probably what that guy was thinking too.. and he got smoked, just like you would! haha

PcKSnipE Says:

Jan 5, 2009 - Umm this is really weird, i think the HSV's driver got off the mark slow. If you watch top gear and other reviews, the HSV is always faster off the line, but after around 8 seconds, the FPV's Turbo kicks in hence resulting in a close match. The fact the FPV got off the mark in this race means the HSV would get overall floored to shit

SkipPy222 Says:

Jan 5, 2009 - yeh same sick oif the holden vs ford bs thay both make good cars how can u say ur ford or holden is better than the other.. so someone that drives a EA falcon is a better car than a vy ss?? or someone that drives vn ss is a better car than a fg f6? i drive a xr6 turbo by the way and both ford and holden have made good and shit cars

Jan 6, 2009 - nice one wanker, seriously think of that by yourself?

thinkbig29 Says:

Jan 7, 2009 - 3psi more? i doubt that highly, that cluby would have been pushing atleast 260rwkw, the typhoon must have had more things done

SteveFuckinO Says:

Jan 7, 2009 - The R8 still sounds shitloads more better than that fucking ford aye lol, V8's anyday :)

SteveFuckinO Says:

Jan 7, 2009 - Need a Turbo VZ V8 to put them F6 boys in their place, last place :D

vsboy25 Says:

Jan 7, 2009 - hear the rumble

zsan100 Says:

Jan 7, 2009 - i think we are all missing the point, for years ford and holden fans have been giving the jap cars shit for being turbos now ford are using them so maybe we should be compairing them to other turbos? instead of a v8?
