I want to see them become more like HSV, I want them to put FPV badges on the cars instead of Ford.

Look out guys, it's a secret move by HSV to get us worried, because FPV have them running scared!!! : :

Don't worry he loves his Ford/FPV product, what Alex is saying is he would like to see Ford/FPV offer factory backed upgrades for customers who are willing to pay for them, such as CAI, exhausts ETC:

Maybe the rumourmonger got the letter wrong maybe it was FPR Ford wants to distance itself from,not FPV. FPR have been a disgrace.

Now that would be good, to be able to get the mods we want without the warranty hassels of aftermarket bits.

Not particuarly fussed so long as they keep making great cars. Let the marketing department worry about the branding.

Basically yes.I thought that was a great idea,but it could also be done one step better by giving more performance upgrades that actually make the car perform better on the track and out in the real world.Nothing wrong with how FPV is going as the sales reflects this but it might reel in more potential buyers.

300C SRT ring bells ? This car is going to kick FPV and HSV's butt. If they can get enough. Then there is the Dodge Calibre SRT coming as well.
Interesting times ahead.!!!

Its a Chrysler, typical for being good in everything except a corner.

But then again, NOTHING would have more street cred then a SRT-8
