I thought the new SS-V tyres were being done by Michelin.

Its a sweet looking car and i can't wait to drive one, the only thing i'm not too much of a fan of is the rear, just doesn't do it for me but a very nice car indeed! The VF SS being my fave naturally lol

Remote start would be interesting considering it's technically illegal.

How so? If it couldn't be ADR'ed it wouldn't be on the car. Can guarantee you that one.

Much the same way as HID's in car's that don't meet the ADR requirements. It's factory so it's ok. But what do you do if you remote start your car in the parking lot and an officer sees it (long shot I know)

I can't understand the Sportwagon sound system decision (to not fit the Bose equip).
There should be at least an upgrade option (something better than Bose rubbish) for the sports models.

Hollow axles ... nice if you want to be the Pied Piper walking home from the drags!

I'd say you would be doing drag racing wrong if you're taking a base model 3.0L or 3.6L to the drags or at least getting it wrong thinking that your drivetrain would last.

Also the V8s all have strengthened axles so not really an issue for drags

Still hollow so you can stiil be whistling Dixie:rofl2:

Shelby tried hollow axles in 2010. Cost them a fortune in recall replacement:hmmm:

But ya can't compare Ford & GM, right:boxing:

I don't know the legalities of a remote start, but in NSW you legally have to switch the engine off if you're more than 3 metres away from your vehicle. That would make the remote start fairly useless.
