unless you enjoy spending your mornings wiping down your back seat after the business conducted the evening prior.

you're not thinnking this through..

performance = fast
fast = get to locations quicker
get to locations quicker = set up a "pizza hut" style "business"

Not a muscle car. I would call it a BOGAN LIMO

A tough cruiser it is, and its definately an attention getting car. First night I had mine, I was marauded at the BP by teenagers and their girlfriends asking me what it was and telling me how awesome it looked. And that story continued right until I drove it into the garage to start its rebuild.

Plus it hauled some in its tenure of cool cruiser. Many a Civic and Commie driver were blown away in straight line traffic light drags. As long as you dont need to turn any corners its a saint; squats down nicely (most likely due to its sky high cottage cheese suspension) and the 351 breathing through the throaty sounding thermoquad... good times.

Its not hard to turn up the performance, and its greater in strength and durability too, having the stronger engine from the GT, not just a standard 351.

There are plenty faster and more powerful 'muscle cars' on the road, but none as comfy and stylish as the LTD. Its a keeper.

At least no one questions your sexuality when you drive a P6. mind you, with your focus i suspect nobody does either, they just assume you're homosexual.

Representing what? Big Body with a small driveline?:P

Wrecking a P6 has been the cheapest way of getting a 9 inch for years, unless you have a '79 model which only has a Borg Warner..

Barry_v · 07-09-2007, 08:32 PM

my tailshaft is longer than yours. but thats ok, poor XR5Turbo doesnt even have one.

if you could stop editing your post for a moment Id be able to respond, I thought you'd be more composed with your words being a metrosexual.

It's not the diameter that counts its the WALL THICKNESS

XR5Turbo · 07-09-2007, 08:37 PM

Where is all this sexuality crap coming from? I don't even own a bloody XR5 OK! I just came up with the bogan limo idea as there is a P6 getting around my crappy suburb with about 3 diffent colours of body panels on it and looking really bad and we call it the bogan limo.

Clearly your grasp on basic engineering concepts such as the stiffness of a tubular member are feeble, as to be expected from the driver of an electric razor...

Barry_v · 07-09-2007, 08:40 PM

its ok, you dont need to be ashamed, we wont think less of you because your preference.

EDIT: stop editing your posts ffs

Try the Trading Post. My 9inch cost me $300 and the guy I bought it off got a whole ZH Marquis for $500.
