Thought id do another chop with a different stripe option, also added intercooler, moved GT badge, tinted glass and impractically lowered it.

Sounds great, Can't wait to see the new GT in the flesh. Not sure about the new stripes though. I liked the old ones better.

Awesome video mate, the charger is music to my ears, absolutely stunning car looks and sound wise, even the exhaust stock sounds mean.

For me it would be delete stripes, badges and rear spoiler. For me car's look cool when there are not badges, stripes or any appendages. But hell it still looks better than the dogs breakfast designs of HSV. But then I am an old fart (52) so what do I know.

NC1183 you are right, I am so glad that there is a V8 high performance luxy car now, but I don't really like the wheels. Anyway, the most important thing is that FPV have finally released a car that makes all the HSV offerings look like clumsy rice-boy clunkers.

I was reading an article about these today and it got me thinking that:
1. The aussie muscle car wars have gone beyond where they left off in 1972 with the Phase iv. We are in an era of muscle car wars which seems to have gone way beyond the last war! 2. One of these new beasts could come close to displacing my passion for the old x series coupes. If you buy one of these GT's you know you are getting the authentic item, you have no fears about rebirthing/rebodies, you can drive them anywhere anytime and park them!!!! New old stock parts are plentiful and you can drive them in the rain and not worry about hearing them rusting away as you drive! All that in a package which looks horn and drives like the devil! |

If you decrease the tyre to guard gap, but maintain the stock height, the car will look awkward and dumb, with long/high sheet metal and it will make the tyres look tiny in the guards. look at any supercar, with minimal tyre guard clearance, but they also have minimal ground clearance to bring it all into line/proprotion.

I wouldn't call it a poor mans anything. I'd prefer what it is, the quickest GT ever made.

If you don't like the stripes, don't option them, if you don't like the ride height take it to herrod or intune and lower it, can't you guys be happy with the first offering in along time that is stronger than a HSV. Yes they can supercharge theirs but who gives a toss.... Stock out of the factory ours is a better base package.
And by the way if Ford Forums was around in 71 what would the backlash be to oh my god puttin "super roo" on the side Shut up or put up the numbers at the dealer will be the decider, I was a F6 buyer but no longer...Gt all the way and i'll get my stripes painted to join the bonnet and maybe 1" out of the ride height.... I'll see all you haters at the next set of lights |

Awesome video, awesome car.
With 3 or 4 people on board and a top V8SC driver who doesn't really appear to be trying, that thing hit 240kph down Conrod ![]() What's a V8SC do 280kph to 290kph. Can't believe the negativity around this forum about this frankly astounding vehicle ![]() |

That has one hell of a sweet sound to it ... and stock out of the box.
And my god ... it revs out to the shift chime sooo quick ... much quicker than I was expecting. I'd be happy with just a GS ute ... and then get tuned to see what can be done. I'm sure once that bleed valve gets shut by a tune ... the mid-range torque is going to be MASSIVE. Wish i could afford one ... it's really one of the V8's that I really do want to own ... these should be nice to drive.

Don't be mad at Dad. He did a good thing. Cars aren't people.

sweet, so much potential. I think FPV would do well to trim some weight from their cars-a nearing 2 tonne is too heavy and fix the ride height.
But engine seems the ducks guts |
