So you're saying out of the entire Ford Australia/FPV lineup, the XR6T is the performance flagship? Why would it cost nearly half of the Typhoon then?
No he said Rick Bates drove both times. Read properly.
Looking at the thread, we are now looking at track times as a judgement of all round performance. A 0.2 seconds gap 0-100km/h is not the best proof to rebut track times.
I bolded the most important part of this quote.
Good, with your modifications your BA beats a stock 350Z.
So let's take a Z-Tune 350Z and match it up with a stock XR6T.
Real fair both ways isn't it?
Pick a point to argue - are you saying it is your car that is better than most imports? If so, there's nothing to stop you from claiming so. You're comparing your modified car vs stock cars. It's no longer Oz vs Jap. It's your car vs stock cars (in which there's no point arguing because the playing field is not level).
Or are you saying, as the thread title suggests, a stock XR6T, straight from the factory, will be better than most imports (eg around the track)? If this is the case, you better get your head checked.
Since its you that is challenging the majority of us here, if you want to be take seriously:
A ) Make your arguments respectable
B ) Provide technical proof or facts to back up your claims. Words like 'rape' and 'arsehandings' are not typically used as terms of measurement.
C ) Keep the profanity level down.
D ) Stop the personal attacks.
