I critisize FPV for putting standard brakes on the new Supercharged GS
after the previous one had good brakes, I don't follow the logic in that...


FG R6 but I don't speed.



The previous one had exactly the same brakes.

Wow, I thought it was standard.....



I'm big enough to admit that I was wrong.

Had made up my mind to trade my 08 SSV on a GS with that sweet motor. Was absolutely devastated when I saw one in the flesh with those brakes, that interior, that XR6 looking exterior AT THAT PRICE!
For nearly 10K less in a Redline SSV I will get leather, Brembo's, Dual Zone, Sat Nav, Reverse camera. Wish I could order my SSV with that sweet Ford motor.

The Old GS

Quote:
Every FPV GS Series also comes standard with unique GS striping graphics, charcoal cloth interior, FPV GT instrumentation, gear knob, starter button and badging, premium sound system with iPod® and Bluetooth® integration, and dual zone climate control. There’s also ’302′ graphics on the GS sedan’s rear spoiler.

The GS sedan also features 19-inch Graphite rims and a choice of six exterior colour/stripe combinations, while the GS Ute features 19-inch Alpine Silver rims, FPV soft tonneau and a choice of three exterior colour/stripe combinations.

Like its namesake from three decades ago, the new FPV GS Series offers a long list of options that include a FPV-spec four-pot Brembo brake upgrade, a six-speed auto transmission recalibrated specifically for the GS’ 302kW engine, leather seats and satellite-navigation, and, on the Ute only, a hard tonneau with spoiler.
