Sweet Aussie Ford

[Phil]

Hi Guys,

Just a couple of pics of my new Ford Gt

It has a Boss 5.4lt 302kw and 6 speed auto

4 door.
Must be the Aussie equivalent of a Dodge Charger.
That rice wing has got to go.

yea, 4 door or not it looks pretty sporty. I like it enough... Kinda like a new version of the fairlane 500s, they were 4 doors, werent they?

See what Ive been trying to say about Aussie Ford and their bloody 4 door thingos, the only way you can get a 2 door Ford sports vehicle is buy a GT pursuit Ute! go figure


Alan,

He can park it in my garage!!!

2 doors don't sell here. Look at the GTO.
I'd take one of those. Would make a nicer company car than my 4 banger Stratus.

Not really a ricer wing, they stole them from the European cars. Porsche had one on a 911 or 935 back in the 70s I believe, The SVO Mustang had an adaptation of one in the 80s. Anyway you slice it, cool ride for a 4 door.

it's only rice if it doesn't do what it's supposed to and that car to me looks like it's all business.

GTO's didn't sell because they were horrendously overpriced, just like the G8 and the new Pontiac (Holden) Ute will be.

Look at the Mustang. 2 doors don't sell?
Pshaw.
I have heard that the whole 2008 run of the new Challengers is pre-sold.

I LIIIKE IT!!! wish they sold em here

[blackagatha]

yeah I like the fact that the 4 door cars are coming back into a cool vision... A big stupid underpowered, ugly 4 door family car has no cool factor. that has cool written all over it.

I agree with whoever was saying the Ricers are all show and no blow and do anything...

Now some of them (the role models for the rest) truly are hotrods... of the japanese sort. But 99% are just poser pricks that hang a bunch of stupid groundeffects and plastic on their mom's hand me down car, along with one of those horrible resonator tips... oh cant forget the big wing that does jack crap for the aerodynamics...


Now I think it may have been Lamborghini, or one of the euro sports cars I really dont know who, devised a wing that actually automatically moves to adjust for optimum aerodynamic characteristics. It pushes it upward, and a steeper angle at low speeds, and pulls it down and shallower when going really fast. it is quite cool...

That car is the Porsche turbo.

You know. another of those 2 doors, that don't sell.

The Bugatti Veryon also uses a positional wing as it achieves 220+ miles per hour with its 1100 horse mill...

1 Million a copy...

Wow, that's an Awesome Aussie.
Is it all wheel drive?
Why don't we see more Aussie FORDs in the states, besides the right side steering bug, they make some great looking cars.
I love the 1973 XB Ford Falcon Coupe.

[Alan Mclennan]

ABA, Its rear 2wd!, it also sounds like you've been doing your homework ,they haven't made a coupe since.


Alan,

Not so much homework as spending too much time playing racing video games. There has been quite a few Aussie FORDs added to my current game World Racing 2

Plus the Falcon has a nice Torino look to it.
At the time this car came out for the game there was one on E-bay for sale that was driving distance from my house. Wish I had had the money then.
