That VN/VT thing is a monstrocity! I'm loving how they fitted the aftermarket taillights but still went for the VT garnish

Ive seen it heaps, painted up the VX one is better looking (IMO) then a VT garnish.

Dude ur in the wrong place. So i guess u dont like ford muscle cars? hyandai forums i think u were looking for :togo:
But seriously i really am speechless, i have never heard anyone say that before. The old mans ED xr8 has a full twin system with no mufflers only the cats. Im pretty sure anyone else that has heard it would agree its one of the best sounding windsors under full throttle. Then you have the boss, a boss with a good dual system is the sound of heaven. Behind a ducatti

p.s that commonwhore is dead set seed. probably sum fully sick g-unit holden bogan, and i bet his bogan mates think its the **** also

nothing wrong with stock motors.. but when your running a pro stock scoop on a setup that draws in air near the headlight.. well thats a wee bit different to a hole in the middle of the bonnet
and as for the Vn if you get close enough you can see the ball pein hammer marks in the quarter hahaha let alone the ironing board on the back.. this thing screams RICE!
