I think You may have something there, Pete.
I think The BF is a good model. but I think the two people who get the lest out of it wil be the "povo pack" xt buyers (Me) and the total top end performance GT/XR8 buyers.

XT misses out on 6 speed, ESP etc, but does get 8KW and better brakes suspension. XT got big boost at teh BA release and is a good car anyhow, for its market.

While the XR8 and GT are great Touring cars, i think FPV could release a limited edition screamer model, in terms of outright numbers FPV have never matched HSV.
FPVs are said to be better to drive, better packages etc, but HSV are always quicker. So there prob is room for an additional "High Output" model, purely designed to do the numbers, hi-po motor, stripped out sound deadening, thinner glass and weight saving trick. maybe a few weighty options deleted..cost more tho.

Lets see
GT-Sports.. GTS no thats a holden
GT-Racing.. GTR nissan
GT-Performance..GTP got that
GT-F8..forced 8?
GT-High Output.. GT-HO?
maybe they would not use GT tag, but a totally different name
