HSV reluctance to provide test cars.

[CLUBRED]

Politics, we all know FPV have nothing after this round, where as HSV have numerous options. Scared, hardly, when the ink drys on the paperwork for the new engine/s then we'll see.

No, he's not a troll at all, even though my best man who is a member on AFF just rocked up and was surprised to see me in a thread started by 4VMan, who he reckons has over 10k posts over on AFF.

Oz says he would have far more than that if he hadn't lost his shit over there earlier this year, pulled his skirt over his head and started crying like a princess, and been sulking ever since.

HulkBA used better bait than this.

Though he is right that there are some that are brand loyal, with much of that loyalty groomed in our early years, which is why in my age bracket the Holden guys worship Peter while the Ford guys all love Dick (that did not go over well with my best man - best go share a drink with him, then come back to see proof of how much HSV drop on each car to stay ahead of FPV in the sales race seeing as their numbers are oh so close).

LOL you are a wise man, AFF Pty Ltd is a profitable business, anyone who interferes or exposes Russ's profit stream is cast aside.. or atleast his fluffer does it.. Anyway, back on topic, tell me why HSV wont take up the challenge???

So why are HSV shy?

Yes, The new Coyote SC makes god power and from what I hear around with the tunners they are good for alot more, BUT, I wouldn't be putting to much money on them making the good power for long. A little like the T6's make good power withy very little outlay, but the shit boxes just don't last. Never have and never will.

Where's your proof that HSV are refusing to supply cars for comparison tests?
When the coyote first came out i saw several reviews and comparisons, i don't think I would say the HSVs were disgraced.
The coyote is a great engine crying out for a decent chassis and some rear grip.

Really? so you're involved with fords quality validation process??? Is it tighter that the Holden/LS1 (***cough rattly oil burner***) engine QC process.?

Anyway, AGAIN..... back on topic, why are HSY Shy?

I have 3 mates that work at different Ford/FPV dealerships and the amount of T6's that come in stuffed, weather it be motors, turbo's, gearbox, diffs doesn't really matter. And all cars range from stock to alot of work carried out on them. Than comes the old 5.4, if I was a Ford guy like these guys are, and not to mention that they all drive SS Commodore's than you be the judge. All I am saying is yes they make good power but for how long will they last.

Well im calling BS, i think youre talking brand biased Bull#$%t, The T6 is a very reliable motor, just like the L98 is (unlike the LS1 rattly oil burning POS was). Talk facts not BS.

I am only relaying what ford mechanics put up with, I would speak facts but I have never had the luxury of working at a Ford dealership and I left the trade 9 years ago but i still have alot of friends in the trade and i can only tell people what I am told. And as for the LS1 oil burning POS, I have 1 of these and with 180,000 K's on the clock and still running 5/30 weight oil and not using a drop, I guess I got one of the good ones.

So, thats my proof where's yours about HSV giving there cars away.........

[A PSYCHO]

Talk facts not BS.

HAHAHA. The irony here is just too much. Tell us again about HSV selling at a loss....

You obviously love your FPV, and good on you, but your generalisations on HSV and even the LS1 are well off the mark.
Let's not talk about the Boss 260/290 known problems (I have owned 4 of them)... Have also owned 3 LS1 based cars as well, i know which one I find more a POS (hint: it wasn't made in Mexico)
