Drew you traitor you can't get rid of your six for an eight. Remember an EL six manual will hose the EL eight any time. Especially when the six could have a super charger.

zetec · 13-02-2006, 09:19 PM

Oh the car that caused my love affair with Fords... the mighty EL GT. Love it.

rob_liss_lms10 · 14-02-2006, 09:17 AM

OOOKKKKK so i guess it must be time to pop my head up in here.....Drew Mate buddy Pal, the Powerful 6 is an elite club "power out of a v8 i hear you say" any monkey with a bottle of beer can do that!!! LOL....Gotta love that amazing feeling you get when you hose a V8 ahhhhhh i'm having flashbacks now... me a set of street lights a ss povadore....the pricless part was pullling up next to them winding down the window and saying "Is that an 8?" to which to heavily defeated povadore driver replies with a quiver in there voice "yes" and i get to say "you must be dissapointed for this is a XR6"....Now Drew wouldnt you love a moment like that.....The eight beating a Six i'm sorry just isnt impressive an 8 beating an 8 nahh doesnt do it either gotta be a 6 mate all the way theres a certain pride and balance to the world....
If an 8 beats an 8 does anybody hear?
Sits back waiting to bask in the warm glow of flamidge......

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!!!!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

phoon · 15-02-2006, 03:38 PM

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.

jabba · 16-02-2006, 07:34 PM

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 · 16-02-2006, 07:46 PM

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