How embarrasment......

flappist · 19-03-2007, 01:25 PM

Just been reading the April issue of MOTOR and spotted the PCOTY phase 1.

Jeep SRT 0-400m 13.5. Cost $89k

An effing four wheel drive shoebox that is quicker than any FPV V8 and as quick as the F6????? (MOTOR test figures)

So now some overweight akubra wearing urban cowboy with brokeback mountain fantasies has the ability to line up against Blue Oval's finest and WIN?????

How embarrassment............

Then there's a Hennessey version as well ... and that's in the vicinity of a flat 12 ... available from the Jeep Showroom.

I would like to see a Jeep dealer actually deal with Hennessey in the first place. From everything I've heard about him, while he does good work, you literally have to be standing in his workshop holding a gun on him to ensure that he actually finishs your car in time. At least he doesn't waste money on flashy stuff, the 300C upgrade "brochure" he sent me is nothing more then a hard copy of his website!
As for the JEEP SRT8, ugly and if early ones are anything to go by nothing but trouble.

How embarrassing.

You used the wrong word!

I am also sure that many homosexuals drive Falcons. I don't care if such people have fantasies, as long as they look after their car. I implore you to keep an open mind in such a matter.

Also, do you know why I love Ford? It isn't about the speed or performance of the car. I love the look of them. If you want performance, buy a refined european racer.

But I want rough Aussie grunt that is unique. Falcon does that for me.

Your memory is as narrow and your attitude. The term "How embarrassment" is a common australian saying first coined by a character in the comedy "Acropolis Now".
Of course I can understand your failure to remember this as you must be dizzy flying in circles due to your enormous left wing.

Brokeback Mountain is just the most recent cowboy movie, I could have used "Marlboro Man" but you and all the other school kids here would probably not remember that either.

Quite clearly flange the SRT Jeep should be flange compared not to falcons but rather to other Sports SUV's ML55's etc flange.

Funny enough, I didn't show any disrespect.
Nor did I accuse him of anything.

And I am not left wing.

Nor will I suck up to people because I enjoy my cars for different reasons.

But I do like the sound of a Cleveland. Orgasmic.

ROFL @ flappist.

I agree, and anyone who says they like Fords JUST for looks and not power or performance sounds a bit like one of my girlfriends when she says that she loves her Hyundai because "its just so cute" and "I dont really care about whether or not it can do "skids" or how fast it can go" or "I dont like those cars that go too fast because they make me sick when I go too fast".... LOL.

If you dont want a Ford that performs, fine, then thats nice for you. There are people on here who WOULD like their Ford to perform and not have to buy some Euro thing to go faster... so we spend money in doing so, quite happily. And I would like MY Ford to perform better than a Jeep 4WD, especially if I had an FPV of any kind... so I understand flappist's perspective and share his "embarrassment"...

I guess not everyone watched Acropolis Now or has heard the phrase used since... I guess that is a bit like not everyone having heard of an "edit" and when newbie came on and asked for info about an edit, some people responded with answers like "strange question but it is what you do when you check what you have written before posting" or something to that effect!

Hmmmmm young people these days.... *shrug*.

Oh wait, you meant you wanted your car to perform. Sorry, my mistake....

I'm sure that there is a lot of cars out there, big or small, that are quicker than a FPV. Just need the $$$ to buy them.

Yep, I don't know how the Orion's 6% power increase for the GT will do much for the cause either...

FPV need cubes and/or grunt pronto, but I feel it's too late...

Flappist, God bless Effie and come to where the flavor is. Unfortunately it's not at FPV for the next Orion generation.
