I am not going for any gotcha moments and I do read every word of everyones posts. I did understand the good points u did make.
For interest, I have always ordered my company Ford vehicles with the V8 in the base model cause I have always wanted the ride of a std car with comfy luxury ride, with the look of a std car, and the grunt of the XRV8 etc without lower profile tyres or stripes etc or the overly done stripey interiors. You just have to pay the extra 3 or 4 grand to get a factory order with the V8 option...done it many times. In fact, thats exactly how the cops order most of the time etc, and most times my dealerships have just done the same spec order without any issues at all.
Ford has always accomodated such requests, and alot of people do it...you end up with a sleeper missile...sometimes they bring one out without you even having to specially order and call it a SR for the same price as the base model just to move the stock and it comes with either the 6 or the 8.
Most dealerships are always willing to accomodate if u hand over the money.
I hope Gary Stern comes back to Australia again, it shows he cares about our market for him to fly all the way around the world just to see Bruce from AMD and suppoort our AC/DC National competition etc.
Maybe Jack from JJP will do something similar as well when the time is right. That would also be a positive thing as well.
