I had a 2 door Rambler Matador wasn't a bad car but a tank to drive  of all the cars i had that was the most enjoyable to zip around in had to be the  Ford ( yes I know) RS2000 with  a cosworth 2.0

A Matador  (+ fuel) ...well, that explains everything. rather a rebel ( just ) or javelin myself  if power too weight comes into it LMOA.

RS 2000 , yep did'nt go bad at all  for what they were, quite popular in fact ! - size was/ is my only issue actually & ( & bod' style) , but yeah, they went pretty good too .

power to weight will win everytime    ( refuses to mention the word - Mazda or rotary ) in this subject  

RS 2000 extremely bloody small for a family sedan  though    ...but i know what ya mean .

I tossed it in here cause its not really news worthy and will only get a cpl of responses anyway.

Seatbelt fears spark car recall

As you have probably heard Holden recalled the VE commodore due to faults detected in the seat belt harness. This on a 1 billion dollar investment in a new model but here is the point .

This news artical was  listed intodays news events, however and here is the secret
- On the day the VE was released I was at the Holden dealer in Townsville on the first arrival of the new VE as i was personally invited to attend and take out the VE SS for a test drive , so I can lay claim to the first drive of it ( Townsville anyway)!

On my return, I over heard and was looking at the fax that just arrived to say that they will be recalling them! - this on the first day of the arrival!

So its interesting it has taken over a month for this to now be public knowledge - guess Holden didn't want the launch to go bad, and here is the big news and you probably wont find any info on it ( too my knowledge anyway) the Development manager in regard to the issue directly ( seat belts) was sacked immediatley on its discovery.

  

Wow

They really are copying Ford (recall).  Not only does it look like a Falcon, it has recall issues just like every new Ford.  Are they now being produced at the same factory or what.

Looks like a falcon  -- you have to be kidding  it looks like a BMW  hence why they now advertising that it handles better than a BMW  

Everyone and that includes me have made comment in LS1 forums about the design of the VE - it will not make car of the year  it will end up as the BA of ford or the P76 !  a dinosaur.

The chassis design is unique but it will be another 2 years before that potential will be reached
