Thread: Holden v's Ford

Hello all,i have one thing to say.GO THE FORDS!.

Jeremy did drive a Monaro a little while back and his review was full of praise comparing costs to similar powered Eurotrash cars. BMWs and Mercs are no better than Furd or Holden and are just a standard car in Germany. Have to say tosing up to buy a BMW or Statesman the Stato was much better value for money.
Did like the XR6 Turbo package though, first thing Furd have got right in a long time but not their V8.

Ford well i wouldn’t own one but at least they done make a ridiculous statement like above.

I hope Jeremy Clarkson comes out and test drives the crumbledoor to ridicule it like he does the yanks cars
and show it for what it really is.

Are you Sweedish, Did you say go the Fjords???

I am glad you said fastest 4 door cause the E49 was quicker but is a 2 door.

Correct, and by FORDs own admission would have won Bathurst if it had not been for FORD getting Ferodo to make a special compound pad for its brakes and then FORGETTING to tell the others it was available (back then technology had to be available to everyone)...

Fords management went to great lengths to ensure it wasnt disclosed prior to the race or the Charger would have kicked its ar$e.

On a different note, I've had the Holdens and the Fords...

I've been a CAMS official and worked at Bathurst...

Let me just say, the only part of the car that is the brand is the cabin....... And sort of, the engine...

Nothing else is either brands.....

Also, its a well known fact the GTHO engines were tuned well beyond the regulations...... And when revved hard often cracked the front of the block...
