Default THE GT335 competitor 300c SRT8 is going to be cheaper...

Well this could be good news or bad news. (hoping good news)

The pricing of the 2012/3 300c SRT8 has been announced - its $66k+ on roads which is cheaper then a GT335 or HSV Clubsport R8.

The 300c has more Power (on the badge anyways: 347Kw & 631Nm) plus more equipment. So hopefully this new competition may get FPV on reducing the pricing on the GT335 and could be a reason behind the $68k driveway price been advertised by FPV themselves.

- the 300c SRT8 ran 0-100km/h in 5sec flat in the WET! so this has serious go in a Straight line.

Some standard Equipment:
-19 speaker 900w stereo (Harman Kardon)
-Heated and Ventilated Front Seats
-Heated Rear Seats
-Heated and Cooled Front Cup holders
-Sat Nav
-Paddle Shift
-Leather
-Keyless Entry
-Adaptive Cruise Control
-Blind Spot Monitoring

More Competition, hopefully means better prices and better Equipment levels and better performance (Panther??)

Is the SRT8 a Threat to FPV GT??
