But that's a bit of a retarded argument, none of it really relevant to the topic though is it?In my opinion the FPVs are something special but as with everything it's different strokes for different blokes.I probably wouldn't ever buy one...doesn't mean I don't appreciate them.As for the locking fuel flaps though :headbang2: Edited 07/09/12 12:46 AM by tab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see a HSV on the road they have presence, some like this, some don't but it seems HSV have a marketing edge over FPV.Apart from the body kit FPVs are pretty much the same as the rest of the range, HSV have tried to make them look a lot different to a std model. Ford now have a opening with reduced overheads to go all out and give the FPV range a real tweek. Just need to get on equal ground with HSV and with engine/gearbox combos giving FPV a performance edge who knows the Falcon might fight on a little longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
