Its not only the power, its the whole package. The brakes will be fantastic(glue your eyeballs in), the trim, handling, etc, etc. Warranty issues apply to Ford as well. Go take your new GT to the strip, and see how the dealer reacts. I think it will sway a lot of current FPV owners to be honest.Time will tell of course.And, an XR6T with 500rwkw is still an XR6T with more power. Nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tab Sucker Moderating Team 32,303 Member For: 20y 4m 27d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 15/05/13 10:40 PM Share Posted 15/05/13 10:40 PM What's wrong with a bit of good old-fashioned blind hate just for the sake of it? It'll probably sell like hotcakes to cashed-up miners looking for something to throw their money at.Whilst it's not my cup of tea it is a pretty awesome package. I initially thought the most stupid thing they could do was release it on federal budget day given it'd get no exposure in the mainstream press...but perhaps that was a calculated move to sneak it onto the market and avoid the crap from the likes of Harold Fckface at the pedestrian council etc.I just hope it'll give Ford the kick they need to do something equally as great before we all end up driving front-wheel drive camrys once the aussie sedan disappears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 13y 10m 30d Gender: Male Posted 16/05/13 02:52 AM Share Posted 16/05/13 02:52 AM Thing about this... Goes around corners alot better than any FPV on the market.. I'm sure those 275/35/20 Continentals grip a hell of alot better than the 245/35/19 you get on a GT or F6. Plus apart from brakes and body kit the FG FPV is really no different than a luxury version of a XRT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
