Ford Typhoon is gonna continue its dominace in the muscle car war between Holden and Ford. Ford where kicking Holdens arse in from the 60s to the 80s with there BOSS V8s.
The 90s brought in Fords new 4 litre 6 cylinder that was eating Holden V8s and 6 cylinders. It took Holden a while to catch up Ford with there V8s but never there 6 cylinder to be as good as Fords 4 litre. Fords turbos come in this decade and are now easily out performing Holden V8s and 6 cylinders.
When the new 2008 falcon arrives we all know that its gonna be the best car in Oz like every other Falcon that has come out. Holden has a old and out dated car now and no money to.
They should have used there money wisely and we wont be seeing for another couple decades a decent upgrade to Comodores.Holden will now continue on with there crapy “Dunnydore” like they did in the 80s and 90s. Ford way ahead in technology and will always have something better than Holden.

Why would you want Ford to ditch the Typhoon badge after the I6 is gone? That was exactly fords problem prior to FPV – brand recognition, barely anyone knew what ‘fte’ was or a TS50 or even tickford itself. Finally theyve got a good formula i think they should stick to it

The next non V8 project at HSV is a [twin] turbo V6 Commodore; then possibly an Enhanced Torana.

If Gubbey decides to start importing Opels again instead of Daewoos we could see some more HSV Hot hatches

Apart from that they are also looking at the idea of a small block V8 car [using the cadillac northstar V8] as well as an HSV Wagon

Ok similar to the West ,you pay around $300 for them then you own them ! I guess without knowing what colour it makes it hard ,especialy if you want to coordinate the plate colour and the car.

BG ,never heard that said before,interesting!

Good idea. In VIC you only have to pay for your plates once and they’re yours. I think in NSW you have to pay every year and you don’t own them?

I’ve heard some mags refer to it as BG (bloody great?) but I doubt it. Guess we’ll find out in four or five months
