Id say its a fair cop if he didnt learn anything in 12 months hes either retarded or lazy as all F*ck.

[SlickHolden]

Both counts right..


Hey what about the New V6.. Guys on the FF forums are claiming the 3.7lt with DI to be an engine across the range? 225kw 400Nm?? Hard to believe, Isn't it going to be the 3.5lt?. Around 200kw 350Nm?.

I couldn't imagine a DI V6 on a XT.

It appears the FPV's have been launched.

FG FPV's

I'm digging the GT-E

[SlickHolden]

****en oath!, It's the pick of the bunch!.

I though they would of abandoned the racoon eyes look? Its not as bad as i used to think but the side striping does look half finished.

And only a 315 kw v8? seems a bit lacking really last model had just a few less.

last model was 290kw? it's not a bad improvement

Hidden by a 290 badge only.. Rumours were always a good 307-310kw.

325kw V8 and 300kw F6 would have been spot on. Apparently 70% of FPV sales are V8's, So so much for looking after the number 1 seller.
Does prove there still is a good market for the V8.

The last few months of BF2 sales were all the 302kw motor from the anniversary Cobra. I think FPV shifted to production of just the one variant for themselves, perhaps they didnt have the capacity to do 3 variants including the XR8.

Alot of rumours were suggesting 325kw from the V8 which makes the eventual figure 315kw seem a bit small, but for a similarly weighted car it should be enough to keep it faster than the old model.

I'm personally glad theyve finally aligned the 6 and 8 cylinders within earshot of each other. From BF onwards there was reportedly nothing between them in 3rd party analysis and FPV simply marketed them differently. Even the pricing structures now are identical like what Ford have done with the XR6T/XR8.

Yep. I know everyone’s cars look the same these days but that smacks of the HSV in a way not much else does. I dont dilsike the look but it is not very original.

They keep looking less and less aggressive . They just look like Mondeo's now! Get a bit of muscle into their look. They just don't look menacing like a performance Falcon should really. The black plastic or whatever it is, "racoon" eyes really does look completely ridiculous.
