or a JUN sr20..........when i was at one of the targa stages, a XY GT went past, and the annoucer was cheerfully sprouting off about how the block of the 351 in it was the same as the block in the brand new v8 falcons. shit, i would be happy if my brand new "sports" car had 30 year old technology ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Thomas To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2002 7:34 PM Subject: An interesting test. A slightly different event i was dragged into by a friend was the Holden vs Ford show held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre... I wore my Nissan cap to patronise a few of the local hardcore yobbos.   To show how much better Nissan is, on the dyno test the Falcon XR-8 (Tickford) rigged up a dismal 145Kw!! That left Ford fans bowing their heads. Most beefed up L series could manage that. The opposition, HSV VX GTS was 251kw.  Monaro GT CVS - 244.5kw. The best of the sad looking cars was a turboed Torana V8 - 338.9Kw ~ 443.95Hp.   I sat there wishing the room was filled with Jap technology and a few R34 GTR Skylines to put them in their place.   Anyone know any upcoming events in or near Melbourne with some Nissan muscle? -Dave T Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: Click Here --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
