barra 182 tuning

i think ur right.so whatever happened to that car..was it ever offered on the market?

[fpv_gtho]

i think its just sitting in either fords workshop or that of Herrod who actually was the one who made it. it would be with the 2 laser SR2 `xplod cars. if anything from the car went to market it would be some of the parts herrod put on it like the dual exhaust or the 8 throttle body intake. im sure you can probably get the 1100watt stereo kit from sony

[SHAKER]

well it looked pretty tough.for an au, hope the new gtho doesnt have the same fate

[fpv_gtho]

believe me it wont, ford wont risk doing such a thing for such a car, if they produce a concept to see whether the public is ready for another hipo falcon they probably wont call it a GTHO either and call it something else. they were reluctant to bring back the GT so you can imagine how nervous they are about gringing the HO back

[SHAKER]

well they brought back the "gt" back in 92, when they were a hell of a lot more cautious than they are now....i reckon they should keep the gtho, everyone can relate to it and itll put the fear back into the hsv crowd

[fpv_gtho]

well the 92 GT was only supposed to be an anniversary edition, and for its day it wouldve been alright, had ford of put the full 200kw in there in the first place

[SHAKER]

yeah and it gave hsv the idea to paint the inners of there air intakes on there bumpers grey.yet another first for ford again

[fpv_gtho]

well the idea had in its own way already been there since the original GT's when ford would black out the bonnet and such, have the front and rear spoilers black on chrome and the body colour. the EBGT couldve just shown its effectiveness on a plastic bumper

[SHAKER]

holden done the same thing with the release of the ss hq and then the gts hq monaro, aswell as the gtr toranas.

[fpv_gtho]

well back then, alot of things done visually were just with the paintwork, and anything more was just added on. today, if either ford or holden want a meaner look on a model, they completely redo the front and rear ends.

[SHAKER]

it makes you wonder what they do in 30 or 40 years time to make cars look sportier!

[fpv_gtho]

well when you think about it now you start wondering what crazy things are going to be thought up
