Oh dear, that's simply disasterous..

Had better trade in my uncollected 302 on the monster 317kw HSV.

Do people really give a crap about that? Jesus, insecurity must be a curse.

on that basis . i respect your veiws , because they are hands on .
still irrelivant to comment on a pre new car.
also i'm not suere i agree on your statements about your cars , but that is my veiw , your entitled to yours .
we all know about the F6 , NONE OF US DISPUTE IT . but at the fpv drive days . the f6's arent that much ahead of the V8's.

Remove the tin foil hat and see the light of common sense and rational thinking.
The Ford V8 has nothing on the Holden/HSV v8's.
There is no conspiracy, just the cold hard truth.

Who is the one not thinking straight?
A 6.2l compared to a 5.4l
C'mon mate.

Gm's ls3 is a little bit better, but not that far ahead.

That's sad.

Go buy the HSV if quoted pwr output means that much to you.

Gutless????????????????????

If I was, Id have put my money in HSV's hands.

Grow up.

Agreed. Down on paper, its a whole 13kw's at the flywheel difference. But really, 15kw's isnt noticable from a engine that already produces 300kw's.
i find it sad how these days a honda accord has more power than a VR HSV. They have to stop somewhere. So no, ford isnt loosing becasuse we all know our 5.4's can keep up with the 6.0's quite well. Watch out holden when the 290kw XR8 comes out to play

ea90gl · 01-04-2008, 01:47 PM

We'll you have to give credit to the fact a 5.4 is pumping out marginally less than a 6.2 in standard trim but at the same time I'm sure we'd all love to see a bit more from ford, yes we know they have limited resources but look what goes on with the 5.4 in the states, Im sure a factory 320-330 would be relatively easy AND would sure embarrass the guys at HSV

mcnews · 01-04-2008, 01:52 PM

The new hero car will be the FG F6 from what I am hearing. Smaller turbo in the new model yes but running a lot more boost than we have seen before should make it the performance king and perhaps even best the 7 litre Holden when it hits the market.

So the guy who doesnt race on the street looks like an idiot?

Im betting youre the delusional type who thinks anyone who wont race them must feel your car is superior, and Im sure thats exactly what you tell everyone as you fail to notice their eyes glaze over.

Clint Eastwood · 01-04-2008, 04:25 PM

I have a 6 speed manual gt with a few mods and I am yet to come across a ve hsv that can keep up, I know we are talking about factory power levels, but if you want more power mod the bloody thing,it isnt that bigger deal, Im sure most people who can afford a gt can fork out an extra 10 grand to inject some life into the damn thing.

I test drove a gts last week and let me tell ya it pulls harder then a 302,but regardless of which one I purchased mods would be on the cards for either.

Until we know the power output of the new fpv vehicles this thread is pointless,every one bagging ford is just assuming the gt will have less than the hsv's.

Wally · 01-04-2008, 04:38 PM

Edda, how do you mean about VE HSV keeping up? Can't they do the speed limit in your neck of the woods? Up here in QLD the HSV owners tend to be middle aged types, so I guess they aren't really all that interested in sprints between traffic lights.

I'd also like to see what his 317kw are worth in 6 months when the LS3 gets upgraded to 322kw for a VE series III or IV compared to the value of the Cobra... let alont what it's worth in 10 years time.

WindsorXR · 03-04-2008, 09:35 AM

The big power race is going to be what it was like in the 70's if we keep this up. Government will step in and tell us that we have to cap our power output a bit like the '72 scare.
Most Holdens end up in trees and poles anyway, which to me say one of two things. Holden drivers are $h!t drivers or their cars cant handle for $h!t.

If your so worried about a Holden boy racer (

: ) beating you, then how about getting mods done. Which most people end up doing no matter what the car started with.
Also. Holden have a great relationship with their US brothers of GM and can just say "Ford are good but we need to be better!!" and then GMC give them a motor. Ford don't have as good a relationship with our US side.

Maybe less power is a good thing!!!!!.........It'll keep all the driving Holdens.

Mate, I wouldn't even race an VE SS if I had a GT LOL! You're gunna lose!

Even my Forester would make a GT look like a waste. Might be faster but by how much... not enough thats how much.

Rock ape · 01-04-2008, 12:52 PM

I give a crap. Im sick of the Ford V8s getting flogged year after year.

mcnews · 01-04-2008, 12:53 PM

Me too. If I was after a V8 then there is no question I would buy a Holden/HSV product until Ford up their game.

tex · 01-04-2008, 01:12 PM

My bad, see you have brought the HSV.

Must be good to tell others how big your dlck is.

I buy for more than pwr, it's called the overall package.

exactly hsv offer a much better overall package

bigger n better brakes
bigger n better rear rubber for better handling and traction
obviuosly a more powerful engine package
these are facts

if ur talkin cosmetics such as which has better seats dash colours there all matters of opinion

i would like to think people buys these cars for there prefomance ? thats what they are arent they ? hsv has it hands down v8 vs v8
once again hsv has quashed any attempt fpv may have thought they had the upper hand in the v8 range with the realese of the new 6.2l engine ....

love my fords but call it as i see it .
