I'd just like to mention how impressed I have been with the good manners and conduct of the people on this forum, I have seen some quite heated exchanges happening on some forums regarding Holden versus Ford topics.
This forum is really cool and I was welcomed and treated with respect as a Ford xr6t driver on a Holden forum cheers everyone, drive safe Muso :)

Not a lot can be changed with the BTR, really need to go for a drive in a tuned ZF equipted car.

Yes I can only imagine how good a tuned T would be with the World class ZF :)

2015 Subaru Forester, XR6 turbo ute.
My BTR has been "built" to handle more power, and shifts improved. Am very happy with the way it performs.
Done by DRW at Lonsdale.

Yeah, its a shame how some forums can turn a discussion like this to crap.
To be honest, as a consumer, we really need both Holden and Ford to produce world class cars in Australia.
If one brand stops manufacturing, the other manufacturer will slacken off.
(Also the parts supply chain will inevitably die due to the costs involved in producing lower volumes).

I think if you were to say that you were going to buy a Chery, or Great Wall POS, and wanted to know how it compared to an I6T, then the discussion would be completely different Lol.

Also, any ideas what you want to do with the CalaisV if you end up purchasing one ?
(Of all the mods I have done so far on mine, the Brembo/HSV brake upgrade rates very highly, followed by the IQ upgrade).
