Wow... now I know people are entitled to thier own opinions... But that comment was a bit left-of-field eh?
My XR8 was quicker over the quarter than a VZ Malloo with the 6.0L and 6speed... everytime he had to change gears I walked away from him !
But I suppose a Malloo isn't just anything with an engine, or is it??

Oh and if you think I made that story up, check the pages of Street Machine, I believe its either the nov 2006 or dec 2006 issue with the silver and blue torry on the cover. he he

Someone has been reading too many wheels magazines. A properly driven Boss 260 will easily match any stock LS1 SS.

Nice ride whitelightening. Have you got any plans to take it to the drags? With an extra 30kw the 290 should go a fair bit better than the 260.

Also while I was in Perth, I was given a voucher for Trackskills V8 commodore cup racing at Barbagello raceway for a chrissy present!
Turned out to be an awesome day, everyone had a blast and the instructors
are great guys... I highly recommend the experience. As an added bonus my team ended up winning on the day, so I got a nice trophy to take home too!

Will post some pics of the new beasty when its parked long enough he he
Congrats mate, Mandarin is my favorite recent Ford colour and to have a Pursuit in the garage would make me very happy. Im sure youll love it.

Ok Ive got a quick question for someone with a bit of knowledge about these cars, Ive got a bit of a clunk in the drivetrain when changing from 1st to 2nd just as the clutch takes up.
It seems fine in the other gears though. Anyone had any issues with the 6 speed ?
Might have to get it checked out i reckon...
It seems I have found out why the previous owner has traded it for a new model, Obviously cant drive a manual!

Well it would be fantastic if it is only that. I'll have to get under there tomorrow for a nosy

Baxter, might be a while before you see the new wheels mate, still got the good old stamp duty to pay, and theres something else I have planned for it as well.
Im waiting on a quote to get a custom alloy tray made for it.

When I was driving through broken hill early last year I saw a black super pursuit with a flat 1 tonne polished alloy tray, and I thought it was the meanest ute id ever seen. So thats what im going to do, then when thats on ive got a mate who can fab up a trailer with the original tub to use as a camper trailer...
Something different I guess.
