Well done awesome news.

The footage i saw of the car on the lifestyle show with glenn ridge looked like the car wasnt quite comfortable with the suspension setup. I presume you did not have the bilstein coilovers and springs in there?? It looked twitchy and unsettled compared to the lighter jap cars.. Hopefully the new coilovers will sort that out..

Good luck for the season and I hope you take it to Buldger!!

yeah i thought the same thing, and where the nissan was sitting nice and flat as it zigzagged up the straight side to side, the f6 looked quite unsettled with even a bit of body roll!

Now this is what Ford should be doing with their marketing dollar, now get it on a tour, visit every track in Aus (and NZ)

If it can be orgainised as a promo with the super cars there would be a great oportunity to present the cars out of the grandpa image.

"Bilstein are sponsoring the car with custom built coil over untis with remote resivors. The sprig rates are going to be rock solid 1000 lbs front and 800lbs rear that 18kg and 16kg in the new money. This will mean the car should sit like any other jap car out there."
