Ford'S Fpv Gt Goes Head To Head With Holden'S Hsv Gts

[Dagabond]

Nup never have liked the 'new' body work of the HSV range, looks like a done over transvestite hooker the morning after(go look in the mirror for a comparison ).

Back looks good, front is overdone and the LED's look tacky as.

What really f*cks me off is that the media, the majority of the time, are complete twats.

We have proven mid 12s with stock F6s, with slips and videos as proof, yet the media always quote a quarter mile time of low to mid 13s and then say it is only a smidgen faster than the HSV R8. I have yet to see a sub 13s time slip for a stock R8, and the ones I have seen have been from cars with tunes, intake mods, cams etc etc....

I just hope these morons will do the new GT justice and show how much it rapes the GTS and R8s.

The thing is to be able to do mid to high 12s in a stock F6, you have to be a drag strip with a sticky surface, adjusting your tire pressures, doing burnouts etc. Magazines don't test that way. They test with standard tyre pressures, usually not doing burnouts, OEM tyres and usually on airport runways where the grip is no way near as good.

I'd be very suprised if a stock F6 truly was capable of doing sub 13s in every day conditions out on the street.

I do like the sound of the bi model exhaust on the gts, I liked the first be better, the update just looks tacky. I prefer the clean lines of the f6. Even the new gt is a bit too much for me.

I prefer the lines of the F6 too or even the xr's.

... yet because it doesn't have a pretty little touchscreen that's sure to cause more accidents through driver distraction it's not the best package?

And it's not even an adaptive touch screen either. If anyone knows their technology (or google), non-adaptive touch screen means you have to put pressure on the screen for the touch-sensitive pad to work, meaning even more complaints when drivers simply "swipe" the screen as they're going around a round-about to simply get pissed off and stick their finger through it.. lol

And it's not even that great; 1 cord at $39.95 and you can get the same results on your ipod touch, iphone, or ipad without having to spend $90k on a GTS.. *shrugs*

I think the GTS is a great drive but the front end is fugly looking.
