Drew you traitor you can't get rid of your six for an eight. Remember an EL six manual will hose the EL eight any time. Especially when the six could have a super charger.

Cmon Matt you know that you have always envied us 8 owners - nothing beats the sound of the boss and you know it! I remember the size of your smile when you got behind the wheel of my SP. :

Yeah Im the first to admit nothing beats the sound of a V8, but the six is lighter and once boosted a whole lot of fun around a corner.

Well Kerri - I have already marked you down as a convert and slowly but slowly I am working on Drew.... lending him my GT for a week seemed to do the trick. :Up_to_som

Now we just have to persuade Matt and Rob and Liss to bow to peer pressure and exceptional taste - and then everyone will have damn hot cars instead of the lukewarm 6's you lot are putting around in now! :thebirds: :thebirds: :thebirds: (thumbs UP, Liss!)


Matt - faster, schmaster - cant wait to pair off against you at MP and see what my ute can do around a few corners... yeah baby! :

Drew, maybe we can all go for a cruise on Sat arvo before dinner so everyone can check out the beast...

No axel tramp either, Iv been in sunny (Not) Melbourne with the boss racing it was a good week end one win and two seconds. The first time the car has run well at phillip island. The new engine has made a world of difference.

Where were you when the discussion on 8's and turbo's was happening...?
The boys convinced me that a turbo would be the better option....so blame them ok if I do end up with a 6 still :

Ummmmmmm are you forgetting we have to clean the cars before Sunday...
ohhhhhhhh silly me, you have your own personal cleaner now dont you :
