I have been lucky enough to have a GT-P for the last couple of days and have to say, it is absolutely great.

Having driven my G6E Turbo for the last eighteen months I have been exceptionally happy but wanted to see what all the fuss was about with the supercharged V8

From start up these things are amazing. The sound is just brilliant. even at idle, the rumble is unmistakable V8. once you start moving is when the supercharger whine starts and you really get an idea of what these cars can do.

Power delivery is so smooth and constant. unlike the turbo that starts of smooth and then goes crazy once on song, this is just sheer consistent grunt.

The other thing I noticed was how good the brembo brakes are in the GT-P. Before driving one of these cars I could not understand how people could spend so much money on a brake up-grade. I now understand why.

Style wise I like the outside but not sure about how I would go long term with the seats. They are absolutely fantastic, but it does take a little effort to get in and out. (My wife likes the seats in the G6E better)

The touch screen navigation system is great and very easy to learn. I also like the new ipod integration better than the one in my car. With the new system, you use an existing ipod lead that plugs into a USB port so rather than stuffing an ipod in the centre console, you can even hook up an ipad with the length of lead you have to play with.

So having thought my next car would be an F6 I think it safe to say I may just have to buy a GT-E if I can stretch the budget.

I used to think the Miami sounded pretty good, tough in fact. Made me giggle.

Then I drove a GT-P and a 302 Mustang back-to-back.

I want a Mustang. http://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/
