Maybe there is more sound deadening in this model?Rear end grip, how did I know that was gonna be on there.

They all just say exactly the same thing. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72126-fpv-gt-e-review/#findComment-1063040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 7m 22d Posted 13/12/10 07:55 AM Share Posted 13/12/10 07:55 AM Sounds like Mr Hagon should've grabbed a GT-P, the GT-E is quieter because its supposed to be more refined.As for rear end grip "leaping on the accelerator from standstill" is hardly a technique (to use the term loosely) I'd be using to get power to the ground. What an idiot - he finishes describing how the mountains of torque come in from low revs, then can't understand why there's no traction when he mashes the loud pedal."Unlike most Falcons, the GT gets the full gamut of safety gear that brings side curtain airbags, rear parking sensors and - in the case of the GT-E - a reversing camera."I like to pluck bullsh*t comments out of my arse as much as the next bloke, but clearly Mr Hagon hasn't looked at the spec page for the rest of the range lately. Last I checked, I can buy almost any sedan (or territory in fact) from the range with all of those features.Oh and sat nav is an option - not that you would.Motoring Journos - worse than car salesmen when it comes to factual info.

No model differentiation whatsoever...tools Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72126-fpv-gt-e-review/#findComment-1063503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
