Was reading the morning paper and every Wednesday the courier mail has a 'cars' section... the had a comparrision of an F6 with a GTP...The writer refered to the "burble of the windsor V8".........Opps......
Another time i was watching 'Drive" as there was a review on the F6 and the presenter said that the F6 gets a bigger turbo over the XR6T...and later when he was driving it he said just listen to the sound of the intercooler when you xlr8 and take your foot off quickly or change gears.... WTF... since when does the i/c mak a noise.... It ИИИИs me that these PPL get paid to do a job and they do a half a$$ job and don't know what they are on about.

Murcielago couldn't shake the evo mate. Gallardo would probably get beaten by the evo.
Also the top Gear test track takes almost 1.30 for the ferrari Enzo to complete - which means it is not a small track, I think you will find most of the V8 SC track are similar lengths/ times, if not shorter. |

I reckon I could do a better job than half of the newspaper Auto guys. They really should have more of a passion to be in that game

If you remove the factory BOV you can get noise from the intercooler..... its the boost bouncing around in there as it has no-where else to go. It can also damage your turbo...... but i doubt this applies to the article.
Its a news paper, surely they can get knowlegeable people to write the drive section.... imagine if someone wrote "the nikkie index has crashed 24 points" in the stock market section, would be public outrage :P |
