Back to V8
 
As a few of you may know I am very tempted to getting back into a V8. I love my F6 but miss that sound. So have decided in the near future, wait and see what the FG Mk2 looks like, to get a GT.

Will be auto and leather, just need to decide a colour.

That's the way. There's no resisting a V8.

FG S/C GT is the future :)

The FG turbos are insane but that V8 sound coupled with the supercharger whine will have you forgetting about the F6

I know, my FG F6, with not much spent could leave many V8's to shame in the performance department, but after awhile, it is not how quick a car is, or how much power it has, it is that big grin on your face after you have driven it. That grin for me comes from driving a blue power worked V8!

A coffee and some properly cooked and buttered toast will do just nicely

I would have thought a coffee with a donut Jason!

I do like my donuts, rarely eat them, the only donuts I have eaten at Blue Power, I have had to take myself....

The toast is a running joke there, Ryan, the mechanic, does not cook it right

Red with the black decals, its color that's looks the goods and goes back through the history of the GT.
It would be nice if the FG2 GT came with wider rubber on the back...

I remember this guy found the solution for missing the V8 sound.

I do like the red, the stripes would have to be like the black edition for me to get them, don't like the standard FG 335 ones.

That v8 noise thing pretty cool, have to get one for my Fiesta

Good onya Jase well done, make sure we see you for this
Sundays show.

Re: Back to V8
 
Well done

Binks would have taken good care of you no doubt :)

Redrum 28-11-2011 07:11 PM

Re: Back to V8
 
Binks, only had a manual. The only three autos in the state were Courtney and Patterson, Valley Ford and Bayford. Courtney and Patterson won out on service and price and Valley Ford as good, but distance their downfall. Bayford initially were a disgrace on price and service and when I finally let them know this they came around on price, but not good enough.

John, I wont have time to wax it this week with the zymol, or get car bra for road trip, otherwise I would take it.

Yeah, I am trading it in. Due to recent life circumstances I was not in mood to put up with tyre kickers, but I got a reasonable deal.

I saw a thread turbo section of the forums, wider rubber on a F6E, may have to do same.
