Default Predator

Just wanted to ask if anyone has a pic of this model, that they put it up. I'd really like to have a squiz. I've been looking everywhere and can't find one.

Thanks. Nice clean specimens. The styling still looks fresh 10 years later.

Don't happen to have any links for the EA GT, Sandfire Ute, Venom and GTU? Saw the names in the sequential article

It was probably a mule, and tested without the gas stuff before then.

a few hundred thousand dyno runs and maby just maby.
the girl from fdc said she doesn't even like driving it from the back room to the front because it is running like crap because it has been sitting so long.

Interesting to note the predator had 468nm of torque, more than the BA XR6 Turbo with LPG..

EA GT looks FAT, gives the EA-ED hope for looking good with a bodykit.

never a fan of the sandfire, whats with the weird body shape...

the predator would look muuuuuch better with a decent ride height.
