Meh I say the XR8s are better. If Holden bring out another Turbo commie that will give Ford something to think about.

Unable to respond due to shoe firmly lodged in mouth! Sorry David, thanks Pastical. Never heard that expression before, didn't recognise it as Flywheel is usually one word, but rest assured I'll never forget it!!!!

anyone who buys a MK1 of any new design with heaps of power deserves these problems. any smart person would wait till another series comes out when all the problems are eradicated.

New experiment, not enough research on different problems with different parts. The problems WILL be fixed in the next couple of years and I reckon im pretty safe to say -- These cars WILL go very hard. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

All new designs are put through durability testing and for this XR6 T to have engine gremlins not mention the diffs flogging out at 60 thou to me is poor quality,not to mention these things weigh 1700kg and cost 40 grand and can hardly beat a 5grand VLT,ALL FORDS ARE SH*T

I was talking to some young little bogans the other day. After talking to a mate in his skyline about r33's and stuff. Little bogan kid came up and goes, my dads got a v8! It'll beat that rice bull****. I just laughed at him and said go home kid.

my brother has just bought a MK2 6 Speed XR6T... everyone judges a car on the worst of the bunch.. like whoever it was above bagging LS1s.. some had problems so they are all **** heaps.. the only problem i have had with mine was killing the auto cos of 240rwkw and really hard shifting.. i have got a few mates with XR6T's and they all love them, my brother is loving his, although it is booked into APS for a heap of work (he doesnt want his little brother (me) having more power than him) he loves it. definatly worth the wait for the MK2, at least they got a decent box

For a brand new Ford to cost $40K plus and have problems is a concern, especially if its been in the workshop numerous times, suffice to say its also the way the person drives the car too and yes it happens to all new cars from time to time but i would expect it from your little 4r banger rice boxes such a huyundai etc that cost $15K new, not a locally built car thats nearly 3 times the price! This is not the first time that Ford has had problems with their new cars............we all now that. Im not a Ford hater, in fact they are a great car i beleive but if your going to pay good money you expect your moneys woth. As they say you get what you pay for.

Meh, i like the look of the BA falcon, but from AFTER the true muscle cars (XD onwards) to the AU they're ALL sh*t looking lol. Although I would much prefer a Super Pursuit over any HSV/Holden ute anyday!

This is a minority. It's not something that happens to every second car driver. Obviously this guy.. RACE1 is his number plate, respects his car and drives them like a normal family passenger vehicle. It's just a crock. FPV vs HSV Ford vs Holden Don't stop hating each other bogan kids, or else the v8 supercars will run out of interest. Ahh I'm so over Holden vs Ford, Ford bashing threads. If you guys are too one eyed to look into things a little more then looking at this picture and saying Ford suck, Holden are legends. Then you deserve to drive a Holden. Go have one, I'll even buy you a Holden cap, and a Holden shirt and a Holden butt plug. Get over yourselves. Look into the facts and stop making judgements.
