Neat idea, but expensive

Go to www.fpv.au.com and check out the utes. A couple of them have a turbo 4.0 cammer and a 6 spd manual. One could possibly import one of these setups, stricly for racing of course, and make one mean mutha. Get the turbo and the computer and harness, maybe the tranny, and put it in a 05 sexy sploder. Get an adapter and put it in with a AWD setup for road racing. 4.0, 6spd manual, and AWD!!!!! HELLYA!!!! anyways, tell me what you think.

Ford makes all kinds of cool stuff for Aussies.

Damn, I wish we had stuff like that here! WTF!?!

I know. Those things are bad. I cant figure out the conversion, but the V8 cammer here makes 320 hp or so and my guess is that the V6 there does also. Damn, I want one of each.

the V8 four valve makes upto 390 hp500 n/m of torque @ 4000,rpm turbo makes 365hp &480n/m From 2200rpm
V8 3 valve = 310hp 500 n/m and can get it in the base model (frightens those little bits of jap crap

they are all based on standard passenger vehicles so an fpv started out life as a xt www.ford.com.au
i dont know how to convert N/M to ft/lbs but my X is rate at 330 N/M i think
i think the 1100+ hp thread is one of the turbo motors with a "little bit of work"
they only come in right hand drive

if ford were to export to the usa it would probably cost the same as a new pontiac gto which is made by gm(holden) australia www.hsv.com.au
www.holden.com.au
we cant buy the monaro(gto) as all are now lhd and exported

I know we ruin everything here. I met a guy from sydney who was on vacation and was mugged in Boston and was walking to L.A I picked him up and took him 28 miles to the interstate and gave him 20 dollars for a shower and food at the truck stop. He gave me his address in sydney and his telly number. I havent called him yet but i need to He said hes never coming back to america and i dont blame him.ps i want to try kangaroo heard it was good.

 

[OZexplore]

when i was younger we had a farm and the only thing roo's were good for was target practice & dog food however now days alot of restaurants do sell it

kangaroo trivia a roo cant walk backwards,a single bound can be over 30 feet,
it is also the only national emblem legally allowed to be eaten,come on down and whilst you are here why not try some crocidile,or some emu (it is said em-u em as in steam not e-mu enough aussie trivia for a day
