Nope, I'd bet the house that we wont see an epedemic like that again. |

You can't deny Ford and Holden especially keep raising the bar for one another though.. Ford should cut some weight out of the B-series and let that Boss motor really come through.

Agreed. Although Ford aren't really raising the bar in the KW stakes. Which is good, becuase it keeps buyers happier for longer. Whereas Holden increases it's KW count every fortnight, pissing buyers off in the process (just read Wheels and Motor to find out what Holden owners think of it all). Ford just keeps "improving" the vehicles. Methinks that Ford does need to loose some weight, but also needs to increase the power of it's V8's. I would like to see the 3 valver become obsolete and make the 260kw 4 valver as standard fare across the range (i.e. V8 Monty, etc etc). Make XR8 280 and GT 320... |
