Saab use a 2.8 Twin Turbo Version. Holden said it was possible to build it up to 3.9 litres, Imagine that, 3.9 DOHC V6 with Direct Fuel Injection and Twin Turbos.

mmmm...FPV F6 eat ya heart out! With the popularity of the XR6T and F6 you'd think Holden would be thinking about a counter attack. The FG F6 is an absolute weapon, will run sub 5s 0-100 all day long. It's one hell of an engine. Ford have also just announced they are gonna soldier on with the I6, instead of moving to a Yank V6 as was planned. Great news as the V6 they had lined up wasn't that flash. They are just gonna engineer the I6 to meet the latest emission regs etc.

^^ I read somewhere in a magazine they have to change the engine because of emission laws etc etc????

Goin with the Yank V6 was going to be the most cost effective option, but they have since changed their mind, and will modify the I6 to meet the new and upcoming emission regs. This also means the engine plant will remain in Australia. Retaining the straight six almost guarantees Falcon will stay rear drive for a lot longer too. To make a front drive car that utilises an I6 would require a lot of engineering and modification, money that is better off being spent improving the current set up and future proofing it for years to come. Besides, they have spent years and years of R&D improving the rear drive platform, which would all go to waste. All this in the name of fuel economy.

Why do people put their number plates to the side when running a cooler ? Is it because they think the plate will hamper the air flow ? or is it wank factor to show the cooler off ? Afew of the top drag VLTs keep them in the middle and they run 8s and 9s !

I'd say a few quick cars did it first to make sure they weren't affecting the air getting to the cooler, then EVO6 came out factory with it on the side, then all the pullers decided it was cool, so they did it

dont know why. but its not as bad as bros running around in sacked out gtst's with a huge cooler and no front bumper.

Its every school boys dream to own a turbo car with a huge fisher and paykel fridge on the front with the number plate to the side......I guess all us guys missed that train lol and went for the holdens Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I used to have my number plate hanging from one bolt from my Honda, come to think about it that was like 4 years ago!!! I probably started that trend, all because some idiot tried to steal it but only got one bolt out and i couldnt be asred fixing it!!! Haha

Shame On U
