I know the feeling, but my situation I was in a budgetdore sandwich, SS on one side and S on the other. The S put up a better fight than the SS. and same thing the dumbadore said "is that a 6?" (With a smile on my face) "It sure is" I replied.

I’m sure my 6 will be as fast as the GT on the 1/4 mile, however it’s the whole package I’m looking for. A car that is in physical better condition, much less kms (as my car clocked over 240,000 the other night : ), the GT has a better interior, will hold value longer and its standard. I really don’t care if it is a 6 or an 8 as long as it’s full of FORD goodies and will turn heads that’s all I need.

I will miss smoking the unsuspecting V8 driver in a fine 6, but I don’t see it as a downgrade.
Plus ill be able to drive yours!!!! :

[Penelope Pitstop]

and you need to get away from all those icky spiders Drew.... I have only seen spiders on 2 cars and funnily enough both were 6's. I guess its because they can't build webs on 8's because they are so fast they would just fly off on the 6's however they seem to be able to set up shop permanently. :Up_to_som :evil_laug

That is truly priceless! I think I will stick to my eight, that way I am the victor more often than the odd win that the 6 pots get (haven't had a NA6 beat me yet, stock turbos are easy and can't wait to line up against a phoon). Plus I do it with the soul of a V8 exhaust note and some killer induction sound, 6 does not = 8 when it comes to soul. Nothing finer than turning the key in the morning and hearing the 8 piece symphony fire up, makes you actually want to drive to work. Good thing I have this pleasure as I have to drive so bloody far at the moment.
Drew, satisfy your envy and get the 8, remember we did win MP last time and we will again!

Well all know Tori lending me the GT for a week was the end of me. Pushing the starter button (so I had to install one in my XR) I know what you mean about the 8 piece orchestra operating in synergy.
my car now has about 450nm of torque which I’m pretty sure (correct me if I’m wrong) more than the XR8 and maybe the GT? (E series)

Ill feel like I’m cheating if I buy it and have the desire to make some BA 8's look quite silly in my 6. I just love the comment I have as my signature.

Fiery, you can buy my car and i can still race it at morgan park for the 6's trophy! oh and the skid day would be sweet for my sissy six.

You shouldnt pay out on the power of spiders, just remember the one that was on your leg? : :

Young Gecko I think you have missed my point.........Being a six person i was mearly commenting that it is extremely sweet to hose an 8, even you would have to agree that being beaten by a 6 ( although i'm sure this has never happened to you) would be rather demeaning, and sweet as for the 6 driver. Even you would have to admit that a powerful 6 is an impressive thing and if and when it beats an 8 you just have to admire the mechanics of the whole thing... and yes i do get the whole sound thing (obviously cause you've heard my car) but i hate to say that most modern day V8's just dont have that grumble anymore like the old 351's . Eights are expected to be powerful but get a quick six and everyone is impressed.. so there *pokes out tounge and runs away*

When will you learn? : You may run but I will catch you, you know my jazzed up XT can : . I have to admit that your car has a sweet sound for a six pot and the shaker gives it a cool induction sound. I would still dust you off though :

Well sweety I don't particularly like spiders either so NO, I won't be looking at buying your beast from you !!!
If I was going to do that I would seriously just keep my car and make it go 'quick' -- apparently its all about the go fast bits :

I have something that will fix the spider problem! Gecko's eat spiders :hihi:

You can talk, you are looking at a new car too. The next time we go up to the track, the gecko will be hunting some spiders.

Drew, don't mess around. Go the GT, they are a sexy beast with more than enough go and lots of creature comforts to boot.

tis one thing to go fast in a straight line,but you have to carry all that speed around corners.Am sooooo looking forward to Morgan park. :jab:

Do what you you you want Drew,is your car so you have to live with it,be a shame though to spend all that money on a car that is slower than the one you have now,and with all that v8 weight it may not corner so well.

[vegabass]

Well I went to talk turkey with the salesman yesterday to get this GT and they had already put a contract on it with pending finance. So I was a little cheesed off. Then as I had my camera I asked if I could take a few snaps of it and he said sure.

We go out to where it was being held (they were repairing the front bar)
Opened the door for a few quick shots when a rude punk came over slammed the doors and locked it, not even a word by him just a rude apprentice style of kid. So that gave me the craps.

So here are some pics of it and I hope the new owner of build no 71 liked his door as this kid slammed it pretty hard. I could have been the new owner for all he knows. : :

So I won’t be going to Q Ford again at springwood.

Wouldnt you put dirty parts in the boot instead of the perfect back seat?

[fiery]

Wont it be funny if the new owner is a member of AFF or happens to join afterwards and sees those things on his back seat

Oh well Drew, the right car will come along mate... be patient _2:

[phoon]

Gecko, reading through the posts, I noticed one of your comments "Cant wait to line up against a Phoon". All I can say is "bring it on baby". Oh and by the way, Rob can ride with me. HEHE.

Hey Lissa, I had no intentions of going to Morgan Park, but I have to find a helmet from somewhere now and go, only if its to paste a few of these ИИИИy 8's. Plus all the 8 boys seem to like stirring up Rob, and us 6 boys have to help each other out. Make sure you bring a needle and thread with you so we can sew a few mouths shut LOL

Mr Phoon
If you refer to my post I was talking about stock phoons, considering you have 306rwkw, I very much doubt you have a stock phoon. Being fair, I will line up against you when I have a BOSS that has the same dollar value spent on it as you have on your phoon, it is only fair after all (now that will be fun). My boss has about $4000 spent on actual go fast bits, I dare say that is not a shadow on what you have spent.
I drove a stock phoon (BF Auto 6spd) the other day and I assure you that my baby (XR8 Auto 4spd) would hose it, a worked phoon is a different story.

Before you all pipe up about stock car against a worked one, mine is an XR and is therefore about $15000 cheaper. Besides that, my original comparison was against stock turbo's.

Anyway, you ladies lost last time and you will again, so warm up your hairdryers because you ladies are going to eat some more humble pie.

XR? Really? I could have sworn Rob told me yours was an XT... but then again we only saw it from the back... :gren: :

Geez Drew, another one has slipped through your fingers. Keep hunting buddy its half the fun. Sad to see an ELGT being mistreated like that, though its just another car in the yard to most dealers.

Lets keep the thread on topic and save the squabbling for the Morgan Park weekend.

[vegabass]

Yeah thanks Noddy, your right about seaching and its half the fun! I will keep my ear to the ground for one but if I cant get one in the right price range, I know where a great BA XT (:dr_Evil: its one unique XT!!!! :nutsycuck ) might be for sale soon so I might keep my dollars and cents for that.

[jabba]

Classic Guy's. The fact is Tori thumped me on the 1/4. It was very close, But a win is a win and I lost..

Drew, How much was that EL GT?... Would you consider a AU Xr8 2000 or 2002(i cant remember)60-70 tho klm for 17grand. Price negotiable.....

[Noddy]

Anymore useless off topic posts will can Drews thread. Its simple, keep posts on topic.
