Nothing. Might lift the bonnet to change the engine oil.
This car hauls ass! The only modifications on this car are a set of extractors and a two-and-a-half inch exhaust. There is no other car of its age that can beat it, even V8 combidores.
The engine has a great sound and the car nails out of corners.
The handling is quite good, but on high speed bends (over 140kph) the back end gets lofty and floats around which makes the car unstable. Lowering it with harder springs will probably fix that.
While the car can be thirsty if thrashed, it will put out average figures if driven normally. On the highway doing 100kph it only does between 1800 & 1900 RPM driven through the excellent 5-speed.
The only thing Ford need to change apart from springs is to fit a speedo that can read more than 200kph, apart from that it's a great car for passion or performance.
There are no other cars of its age that can beat it??? I beg to differ!!
At present I own a Nissan Skyline GTS-T (same age) and an XF. The XF is used to tow my brothers Motor Bikes and the Skyline is just a toy and honestly I don't think I'd even like to see the two line up together... apart from the amusement value!
He's right unless you have done a bit of work to the XF I highly doubt it would beat a skyline thier heaps lighter unless your car is a freak.
I think maybe he was talking about cars similar in use. a GTS skyline is like comparing an AU falcon to a r33 GTR... not even worth thinking about.
