One could only wonder if is a real deal but my suggestions are I like it very much if it does come into production ;)

Game on for HSV.

In terms of the pic in this thread, that's the pipe dream, it was for a comp as has already been mentioned, what's not a pipe dream is that there is something above and beyond what's on offer at the moment. When we see it and how it will be advertised is uncertain to me, what I do know is that it's got enough mumbo and trq to be breaking many parts in the car!

It was explained as an entry to a competition over on AFF a while back.

Keen to see factory intercooling.

lol definitely a photochop for a comp on AFF, the winning entry funnily enough. This was my entry

Spent way to much time on it. Started out as just the Front but got carried away and even changed the seat stitching colour. Still I leveled up on photoshop to rank amateur.

Love your photoshop skills :)

But oh god I'd laugh so hard if Ford brought out something with front lights like that :bangcomputer:

There is indeed, it will be intercooled and have better suspension, but that won't make it a GTHO. It will still be the same plastic interior with the same crappy apparently "premium" sound. If it has enough mumbo and torque to break parts, then FPV wouldn't release it as it would be a reliability and warranty nightmare.

But the development and testing costs to create it will make it one VERY EXPENSIVE car, as opposed to the usual stickered up anniversary model created from leftover parts. Even so fiscally there is a big difference between paying 5k for a Phase 3 in 1971 and 120 to 140k for a super high performance FG Supercharged GT or whatever they decide to call it in late 2011/2012.

Although I am a die hard Ford nut and regardless of the money they have burned doing it, HSV have the volume high performance sewn up lock stock and barrel. FPV know this and so they will release a beast in numbers that will hopefully sell and make some profit. If the numbers don't stack up the car won't see the light of day. We are performance car lovers and nuts, they are a business trying to make a profit in an over crowded market full of competition. :icon_ford:

lol I tried (and sucked at) to make the lights like the new challenger and sorta like the mustang so they hide a bit under the bonnet.
