I'm with Hulk on this one, remember when Top Gear Australia put a GTHO PIII around their track and it got snapped by a povvo pack XT FG Falcon? The older generation on this forum might look up to it as some sort of nostalgia/memories of the fastest 4 door car in the world. Us younger guys, no nostalgia here.

I enjoy my Turbo 6 for what it is... Im not looking to sell or make a buck, I like what it is for my enjoyment only, functionally its better than most cars on our roads, it would slap a GTHO silly every which way. |

Silly statements.
Common sense says you’d take the Phase 3 regardless of its condition if offered a swap with your BF XR6T for the monetary value alone. It's not like you're using either as daily drives. You could then sell the rust bucket, buy another BF and use the change to throw a BBQ and invite all your in need of help car friends. |

I think Hulk may be onto something. Just found the article one of the previous poster's had referred to I think. It was actually an FG XR6. But at any rate if this more or less kept up with the HO then Hulks car would smoke the HO, even if it is just a police car with leather seats :-)

Sometimes it's not about what is faster, quicker, smoother, quieter, more reliable, more economical etc. etc.............................
For some, it is all about presence, character, charm, idiosyncrasies of that vehicle that we fall in love with (both good and bad), but to the people that don't understand, you can't explain it to, it comes from the heart. Pure and simple mate. |

I would rather take an older low kms car any day, as long as the rest of the car is to the condition expected for the kms.

This thread is terrible. I don't know why it wasn't killed on the Hoey comments alone. Hulk pls. You obviously know stuff all about cars.
Reckon he was wearing a Monsta snap-back, white framed sunnies and a bumbag to the BBQ. |
