why does everyone always complain that the gt and xr8 arnt good enough? most of the people who go on and on about the gt and xr8 having their ar$es handed to them dont even own one or cant afford one.....you are all forgetting that the xr8 has had more power then the ss up until now with the launch of the ve. the ba gt came out with 290 kilowatts which was 30 more kilowatts then hsv was offering with the clubby....holden and hsv are the ones trying to catch up. fpv has taken over hsv in the sales. i understand people may have been disapointed in the bf v8s because they have shown little improvements over the ba...but it didnt bother me having purchased mine in september 05.....why is everyone so surprised that the 6 cylinda is faster? im sure if ford release the v8s with a blower then you will see them ahead of the 6ts....a good dtiver in a gt can get times of 13.5 -13.8. yes there is cars faster but for the price you pay you get great sound, great looks, great handling, brakes and power....even the new camery has more power then the non turbo 6s...its easy to gain speed with a turbo so stop saying the v8 is dead for ford...it is only getting better...i love ford and my v8..
in saying that i must admit i also love the 6t and im not knocking them but i just think it is abit ridiculous that people continue to put it down despite it being the best v8 yet from ford...thank you for the rant |
