I think Boss has been around long enough to know he should and shouldn't say around here.

The driving characteristics I feel will be quite similar to the FG, but curious how the updated nose will effect co-efficient drag. Look forward to seeing an uncovered one soon.

I don't care what Ford think. They way they have treated me as a customer over the years with certain issues I couldnt give a toss about them!!!
I just hope Spyman is okay! Another interesting point I would like to add is the fact that theres going to be a limited supply of performance models due to lack of transmission supply. What are peoples thoughts in regards to this?

It appears Callum may have access to a real picture of the FH/FZ..

Yes and when someone asked where he was getting the pictures from I quoted this forum. Whats he do? Deletes the post and my privileges to post on his page. Hes a smart **** who likes to have everyone believe hes the insider, when in reality hes only someone who steals other peoples media, removing their copyright symbols.

He might have a mate working on the line he slipped a few bucks to. Some of his pics wouldn't have been taken from standing behind a tree 500 yards away.

things weren't nearly as crazy with FG, so much drama over FZ/H/U/X/14
Ford: release some imagery already and it'll solve your problems. I'm sure Holden have their finger on the trigger of their special editions, just waiting on your move.

This does have me worried that they will be gone before I can afford an XR8. I wonder if Ford will tell us how many are going to be available

I don't know. But i do know they have limited ZF strengthened boxes which apparently can only be ordered up until December this year?
Probably has something to do with Euro 5 Emissions.

They should pull out all stops to advertise, build excitement and release this car as soon as possible. Aren't they just moving onto the 8 speed box in lieu of the 6 speed?

yeah but i'm not sure anyone here knows the exact number of strengthened ZF's left so supply may well not be a problem. Plus i'm sure there'll be a lot of people ordering manual XR8's, since there's no GT anymore the purists like their manuals. So i don't think it's as bad as it sounds.

well plenty of time left for that anyway
isn't it just the input/output shaft that's different on the strengthened units anyway? What are the torque ratings for the Chinese box?

As for torque ratings you would have to think the chinese box is simliar to a standard ZF, i reckon around the 500 nm mark. (Ranger uses it at 470nm).

yeah so if they can upgrade the input/output shaft on the new box it shouldn't be much different (not referring to build quality though) for high output application
