I heard about these toys...
The Holden brand of vibrators are extermely sucessful. First was the 3.8 V6, which vibrated too much, even with a balance shaft. The ecotec update did little except soothe some of the larger vibes, keeping the gravelly sound Holden vibes are well known for. The current alloytec experience, from all accounts, has been a waste as it no longer vibrates but still sounds like crap. But in comparison to the larger vibe (the 5.7) it doesn't need as much lube. The Ford vibe, if you can afford it is the better 'tool'. It has a long stroke, free breathing 24 valve head, and has more torque to keep the missus happy. It's also got all the parts mounted in a line, making a more comfortable package. IN contrast, the moving parts on the holden range are at 'angles' to one another, which is great if your missus likes double or has a bit of piston 'slapper'. Also the Ford vibe is a wider package, slightly more substantial and a more durable package than the Holden product. Matter of fact, the Ford vibe is that good, it's the reason why I'm not getting any.... David. |

FPV/Ford items are pure class. You don't see too many people wearing them, not like HSV items anyway..

Going by the Greg Murphy ad here in New Zealand, Holden girls are white trash.

Lol i remember at the V8s my mate was talkn to one of the grid girls for some Ford team but i cant remember which one. He asked why they were Ford girls and they said cause all the Holden teams already had girls so we just went to Ford. No BS it was soo funny.

typhoon or torado has no rear string but a nice but discreet intercooler on the front (blow off valve mounted on rear)
