Question Cobra utes GT or not GT

Was just wondering if the new COBRA ute would be allowed into the sacred
GT clubs around the country .The sedan is a GT COBRA but the ute seems to be lacking GT badges >
Not that i have 1 but used to have XC COBRA years ago n wasnt allowed in the GT club back then ??? :eclipsee_

Yes and no, depending on the Club. Some GT Clubs allow Associate Members (owning a Ford but not a GT). Others are GT only.

Just remind them of the Great Groucho Marx quote...

"I would'nt join any club that would have me as a member"

Faker for sure. Being FPV, isn't it based on the Pursuit. Wouldn't imagine they would use XR8 badges.

Are the Pursuit and Super Pursuit utes allowed in? Thats what the Cobra ute is, just a special addition Pursuit just as the Cobra is a special edition GT.

As I said earlier, depends on the Club, as the Pursuit / Super Pursuit aren't GTs some Clubs may let them in as Associate Members.
