hey i didnt like that coment my gs is as fast as any ftos weather its a gpx or what, in our cruises im up there with the leaders, il give you gpx a run.

if i sount mean its becourse you offended me

Someone is sensitive with the facts

Lancer 1.8 engine is 90kw at the fly, so 50kwatw is about right, if you want to have a cry about it then so be it

what research ? do you even have an fto

if you do is it modified

get yourself a stock gpx then we can talk, the reason i say this is that i have raced a stock gpx and won. as i said also it can depend on the driver

now in my last coment i said that i have beaten a gpx thats why im confident i can do it again, remember the gs is light and quick and more manuvrable than the gpx.

and there are no mods on my car just yet.

so calm down and take a deep breath and relax dont have an episode. he he he he he he .

From his location there he has an AMG CLK63, that's 358.7 Kw on tap.

Good luck 1.8L engine, you can do it!

LOL first of all, you challenged me without knowing what i drive or what FTO i had before.

And you never mention anything about your GS vs stock GPX, all you said was the following

This is my old FTO Click here--->http://www.ftoaustralia.com/modules.php ... pic&t=6138

What i drive now is what i got on the profiles *look toward your left side of the screen* and yes that avatar are my actual cars. While you at it, read my position title

phantom wrote:now in my last coment i said that i have beaten a gpx thats why im confident i can do it again, remember the gs is light and quick and more manuvrable than the gpx

I know the GS is a bit lighter then other models, now let say your theory on this scenario "lighter means quicker and more maneuverable" is correct, then consider this, GS FTO are heavier then a stock CE Lancer (samilar base chassis and floorpan with identical engine as GS), which mean a stock CE Lancer can out run a stock GS FTO.

Like I said, all i did was stating the fact, but you just want to stir it up, so i just play along and provide some light entertainment for other members.

After all these, if you still interested to have a go, I'll be fair, I use my Hybrid 4WD, it is the heaviest and the slowest out of all my cars.

just read this - are u on crack u GS looney

The GS is 90kgs lighter (1100kg) than the GPX (1190kg). However the GPX has 147kw Vs 91 kw at the fly. Even if the GS had a manual and the GPX was tip u still have NO chance.

The GS is rated at 0-100 in 10.25s (TIP)
The GPX is 7.60s (TIP)

Thats about 3s difference LOL......

10s 0-100, my old ford did it in 9! LOL

LOL this thread has gone to hell

On a more constructive note, we all defend things we like, maybe sometimes a bit too religiously (i've done it before hehe). You said you've beaten GPX before and i thought maybe you had a snail on the side of the engine and then you said yours is stock. If you'd like a run against a gpx that's performing decently (maybe the other one had faulty sensors and bad fuel, oil, filters etc), then i'm open to offers if you're in the sydney area.

Weight ain't got too much to do with it, as KJ said - only 90 in it. And a manual gpx loses another 20 on that figure. Mines 115kw atw @ 1150 kgs atm.

phantom · Post by **phantom** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 9:55 am

yeah people i think we going to far with this, we do defend what we own and love, no matter what car we own its always going to be the best,

hey we can avoid some clashing by not dissing anyones car.

an fto is a great car regardless what model it is. they are fun to drive.

take care people

ciao!
