Did they drive it from the dealership to the start of the race track! No! So nothing to do with the road going cars.

You got that correct when you said "read", threads are often an entertaining read until the two tribes of cave dwellers pick up their sticks and face off to the chants of "Ford,Ford,Ford" or "Holden,Holden,Holden.
At that point the chuckles turn to yawns and the "knowledgable automotive people" leave the thread to the cave dwellers while the seek some interesting reading matter.
Which is, I believe the point the original poster was making, the similarity between Ford and Holden cars is greater than the differences. Pity the same can not be said of their "non-owning" fans.

I remember a bumper sticker from years ago." Save Fuel Burn An Arab." and it had a stylized blob of black oil with a fezz hat on with a couple of white eyes . Was quite funny I recall. Guess what. it was on the rear bumper of a Ford Thunderbird.

I have a 383cuin Chev powered Nuffield tractor that I use for Tractorpulling.I took it into work last week and another employee told me in no uncertain terms to put a real motor in it.I asked "As In!" and he said put a Ford in it not a gutless Chev.Well I asked him"Do you have a Tractorpuller with a V8 Ford in it!" The answer was "No" So I asked "Do you actually own a Ford V8!" TheAnswer was "No" so I replied "That it is obvious to me that he only owns the T-Shirt and that there was a pretty Powerful Odor coming from it. Kind regards Pieter

This is so true. I have ford V8 now but have had holden and chev and admire the best of each. When I bought my latest V8 I bought what I thought was the best value for the money that I had availible to spend at that time. Most tossers that say crap genraly dont own and have never owned a V8 of any description other than a tee shirt.

The only time I get into the red vs blue debate is with my 12 year old daughter. I only do it to stir her up. Otherwise I just couldn't care less

lol, and she probably has a higher IQ than most of the blue red fanclub wannabe's, and the same level of juvenile irrationality too, world shattering to her is a sparrow that has gorged on grain and cannot fly, for the blue red juvies it just the colour of the badge that gets them emotional and irrationally emotive

HAHAHA Brilliant! That is the funniest thing I have read for ages! I'm a V8 guy all the way but I've driven a BA XR6 T and a FG G6E T and they were VERY quick and no way a basically standard V6 or straight 6 would keep up with them!

I pass both Fords and Holdens every day, easy.
While they are refueling I pass them.

FG XR6 has "sports seats and sports suspension and a sports instrument cluster". Oh and an 8" colour touch screen. 18" alloys and projector headlamps and front fog lights.

Exactly. Certainly not bigger valves, more aggressive cam and higher compression.
