Myself personally I'm over the boy racer image and prefer the ride comfort and discreteness afforded by a gramps-spec.I couldn't handle driving an FPV every day with all the fckwit bogans that it attracts. (I.e. in terms of your typical chev neanderthal that feels he has to prove himself)But I don't think anyone in their right mind could say that FPV have achieved their full potential...hopefully Ford do a better job of it - can't really do any worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem fixated on the F6 which is probably why everyone is arguing the point with you.FPV has mostly been about changing cosmetic things and adding a few badges, then wondering why nothing was selling. The F6 gave them the easy ride as it was such a magnificent foundation, look at the V8s though and that's a completely different story. They floundered for years and only relatively recently got some momentum by introducing the Coyote engine and enforcing a monopoly on the V8 by scrapping the XR8, so now if you want a V8 Ford it can only be purchased with an FPV badge on it. Without that they'd still be selling sweet fck all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look better, go better, brake better and handle better. Don't think I have ever seen such brand snobbery here before. I personally chose to save my 20 grand so bought the ford. PS do you want to match your goes better against my goes better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over it - you're gunna get smashed! Now, if Ford get smart and introduce some limited runs (like Expensive Daewoo with Redline) or, at least give people for example the option to add brembos, at a reasonable cost, maybe they might pinch some of that market. If Expensive Daewoo can do it, why can't Ford? IMO, that's what this move back should seriously look at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
