Some spy-pics suggest they did, since the background seemed very Territory like.Regardless.. I guess I'll be the test-pig soon.. With temperatures around 42-45 degrees lately, let's hope my new GT doesn't blow up when it gets here mid-feb, else I'd be a sad little pig.. :(Might need an intercooler sooner then later. *sigh* And I wanted to keep this one stock.

It's an XR8.Cause really that's all it is. Where's the FPV body kit. What visually sets it apart ??? I've seen XR8's with quad tips.Sorry I don't really understand why....... but I think the attempt from FPV on this one is a rip off. No not financially. But not even putting a body kit on it. Pathetic really. Even the cheaper F6 gets an FPV body kit. Don't know why but I take it as an insult on my intelligence.I dunno. Should Ford have released an N/A version first. G8, Xr8 so forth. Then FPV bring out the big guns. HSV fans are laughing their guts out at us. " You got a motor you should have always had and nothing else" They have a point !!! They have faith in their Marque. They know HSV wont rest on its laurals like Ford does. Most HSV dealers are offering the R8 at the same price now. Will Ford finaly stand up and fight. Or go play in the corner by itself like it always does.It's a scam. Good donk, average car, but top money. This is the way to kill off the XR8 but charge FPV dollars for the replacement - end of story really.Were they worried that a N/A version might make less power/torque than the Expensive Daewoo V8 so wanted the killer marketing blow? As these threads confirm, it's backfiring in their face at the money they want with the specs of the car. I can't believe they didn't even fit brembos. Even puss redline series commodores get them and they're not a HSV!I crossed from the 'dark side' and whilst I still love my T, there is this funny stench that seems to follow ford around. Crappy customer service, dealers that won't move or play games with prices and now a dumb product that cheapens the FPV brand. Seems they have forgotten about the AU a little too quickly - wake up dickheads!!! On the plus side, these things will be a bargain in a couple of years. If you like ripping up money, I reckon this one is ya pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 30/01/11 06:05 AM Share Posted 30/01/11 06:05 AM Based on rrp, Euro 4 F6s are more expensive than a fully optioned GS.And XR09 find me a new 2010 E2/E3 R8 for $59990 drive away.That said, I do agree that the GS could have at least had a front bar similar to the F6E.and brembo's standard for christ sake its a FPV isnt it?then stop giving it taxi spec brakes!!!grrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
