Every car has a few "Duds" that somehow make it through to the public. Ford should just give him his money back, not worth the hassle, And how come this is'nt on "Today Tonite" would have been a good story. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

My point wasnt that my VT is fast cause its not , i was just say the ford is a heap , he is going to take it back , the point of the race was the he didnt think it went right Maybe the Cops should buy there cars at 40k instead of new if they go faster Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Let him buy a Gen3 SS. Probably whinge about that too. Cars including brand newies do break down and have minor faults, face the facts.
