Default Re: VF HSV mules spotted

Spy shots of two cars strategically placed in a public carpark by the HSV enginners while they duck into Big W to get more cloth tape and black padding material. Hope the ninja spys didn't get paid too much for them LOL

I note the cars are fitted with Continental tires, and they have had a hard life! Brake hardware has earnt it's keep. Interesting they are evaluating Conti rubber, man, they will give these cars some freaken awesome grip, but say good bye to a couple grand every 12 or 15k on hard driven cars should they become OEM equipment.

375 isn't that much power, plenty of our member cars pack a heap more than that! Modern chassis handles that grunt level quite ok. It's about what the Miami in GT tune makes now anyways, so Ford can just get some new brochures made. That's if they can afford such a big marketting spend LOL.
