AJ ??? me confused ??? I don;t get what you mean by the videos ??

You don't get ?what? with a GR??

Kavemans GR go just as fast if not faster (its de-limited), it makes more noise (good exhaust) - we have incar (and trackside) footage of the blue and white beast on the track as well - which will be available as soon as our website is finished.

?? me confused ??

Now - I just have to say this.......

This thread is all in humour. GR's and GPX's are just as good as each other (for anyone considering buying one). They both have positives and negatives. Kaveman and I have one of each - one GR and one GPX - both set up and used for different purposes. So anyone out there with a GR - dont think that you are not as good as a GPX.

Owning an FTO is a personal thing - some of us mod them, others prefer them stock as a rock..... but in the end, ALL FTO's are wonderful

I just mean the 8,000 rpm read line and that MIVEC sound you get with standard GPX. I'm not dissing any FTO, I LOVE THEM ALL TOO!!

It's like, are you a 'scruntcher or a folder' kind of a thing.

I know AJ

I wasnt implying that you were. I was just saying in case any newies out there were reading this thread, that we all know each other and are all mates having fun

(On a completely side note - Haven't caught up with you for ages!! We should get together again for a meal one nite)

Lol ya I don't regret for a second that I bought a GR over a GPX, FTO is an FTO

Unless u own a GS,

yes..... tend to agree with you on that one. There was one GS that I heard of in QLD - however, I think it may be gone. (We got a part from a wrecker in QLD that turned out to be from a GS - needless to say, it didn't fit

and promptly went back)

Under the new import scheme, I believe that GS models are not eligible to be bought into the country, they fail to meet all the required criteria.

Just as well, I don't think anybody would really want a GS

why does the gs fail?

Post by **Bennoz** » Mon May 15, 2006 10:10 am

Well most of them had 2 cylinders fall off

Are you sure? I thought it was 7500.

Post by **Bennoz** » Mon May 15, 2006 9:08 pm

They will rev to 9k before hitting the limiter, but you run off cam power range at 7.5

That is, those who have stock cams.....

Our GR has hit 9200rpm - computer records max revs (umm - and its not stock

)

I love my GR!! We are best friends and she speedies where ever I want her to!!

AMEN!!

HOLY

- 9200 rpm on a GR, even on a GPX I would be checkin if I still had all 6 pistons, just in case they decided to fly out of the engine.

Post by **Bennoz** » Thu May 25, 2006 7:03 pm

Tis the same block after all!

I run off cam range between 7250 & 7500, no point goin' further just wasting time.... All the usable power is below that mark
