Default Help needed Ford Brothers from Down Under....
First I would like to say Autralia is such a cool place and I love Fosters beer

What I need help for is the following
Please vote for this car otherwise a Subaru will win.

http://www.dragtimes.com/Ford-Maveri...slip-4973.html

The maverick is a true 10.45 car all motor and runs like a raped ape. He is a member in my car club here in the states. Any help you guys can muster will be very appceciated.

Hell no, I dont even think they stock it in most places anymore. We send that stuff overseas where it belongs.

Fosters is crap.

I thought a Maverick was a 4WD ... now that would be something to see a drag 4WD Maverick (although I have seen an F350 turbo diesel V8 run high 10s ... LMAO)

Oh, and a Subaru SVX that does a piddly 15.063 @ 91.270 certainly does NOT deserve to win.

I'll vote for that just on the basis of the comment "runs like a raped ape..." - good work!

Got my vote, you had me at 13.5 compression on 110 octane...
My Greek mate loves Fosters, he reckons its the best..for making his beer battered fish and chips.

: Must be me, but that car looks a helluva lot like a collision between a HB Torana & a HK Monaro. A ToranO or a MoranA :

Voted for your car. But fosters, no way, no one drinks that in Australia. Drink Boags Premium Lager, that is good beer.
