    Boss 290's come on strong in the 3500 to 5500 rpm stock. It's is a reality short range but not 1500 rpm short! I can't compare to the 5.6 but compared to a 185kw Windsor is felt like an animal.

    Often Internet myths create "truths"....
    And an XR6T would probably be faster than the lot of them, or would be with simple mods

    The XR6T has always been faster than its XR8 counter part..and it probably still is ;-)

    The curve at that point probably creates spray off the buff.

    There's no reason for there to be paint overspray on the insert unless they did a sloppy off line repair....
    They wouldn't repair the plastic bumper they would just get a new one delivered.

    My FG had 3 off line repairs when i picked it up, possibly transport damage, i'm not sure but they were awful repairs which i picked up on delivery inspection.

    Dealer fitted new front bar and bonnet in the end..

    VZTRT they repair bumpers etc all the time.

    To get a new bumper means you have to get a bare one and start again. Most dealers get touch up guys to do little repairs (which look like shit).

    In the case of this issue it seems like its an actual issue with the plastic grill.

    They come onto the car painted from venture. They're not painted with the car.

    Is that why bumpers never seem to match?
