what are you trying to do here flappy?.....trying to acertain which model we all like best?, i`d be happy with a white FG auto gt myself + decals, but seeing as it has to be a custom, pity it did`nt go back a bit further.... would love to see an xygt with new boss spec driveline and brembo`s, .....of all the b series GT`s forward,
i think the bf GT was the sexiest looking ....so one of those with the lot thx (FG GT driveline) .
looking on the FPV site i sorta did`nt mind the white F6E , i was thinking an F8E also would be nice just like that.

FG Superpursuit in Manual and preferrably with 6/4 Brembo's (how come they only come in 6/1?) or even bigger brakes to fill up the rims.

In either white or black.

pretty much summed up my thoughts.
i guess seeing as its a dream then why not throw a bigger sc on it while we are at it and offer a factory r-spec with adjustable teins

ok that should cover it.
oh and perhaps a hollinger as the final touch

My BA MkI XR8 has FPV part numbers on the engine. I reckon that should have been an option.

Yeh sort of.

If you take away the engine/transmission differences it basically just leaves the look and feel of the car.

The limit of the group is based on the ability to comply with all the other ADRs like crumple zones and airbags etc. and the premise that if FPV were doing it they would only have parts for FPVs.

Oh and as an aside there is an almost mint BA GT-P in Blueprint for sale at the Ford dealer in Kingaroy with about 25,000km on it if anyone is looking for a modern day collectible.

Pity I can't choose a T3. Having the go to match the looks would be awesome.

From that list, I'd take a GTE in ego.

I'd go with a Manual Breeze Force 8 with straight black trim. But this probably breaks the rules. In which case it would be a Breeze BFII GT-P with silver stripes, and Manual.

Interesting that the Force models weren't included.

My choice would be as follows:

Force 8 - living up to it's name, being forced!
Black in colour, would usually go with ego except the red leather suits the black better.
Red leather interior as from standard.
Stick with ZF auto, no manual clugger in these types for me.


I would probably ask if I can unload the extra $1800+ to fit a sunroof for me, because I'm a poser 'n all.

You mean apart from the one on option 11?

The Force 6 and Force 8 are the same car with a different engine and as the prise will have a S/C 5 litre there was no point showing both.

Same as F6-E & GT-E.....

Sunroof was an option then so it could be included.

Thats cool.

It is amazing how many actually want the Blueprint GT-P.

It was definitely a herald for the age of FPV......

Although it was only the second most popular colour in Australia after Blood Orange it is the most popular up here as almost all of the Taxis were Blood Orange at the time.

BF2 GTP sprayed nitro blue, black stripes and the FG GT-P (5.4L) wheels, I think their the same wheels as the BF GT40. Car has to be lowered with 6/4 Brembos of course.

My dream car!!!!!

haha, I do agree but I just think when their lowered, especially the BF FPV range the whole design of the car just moulds around the wheels better. You can notice the design attributes on a lowered car much more than a standard car.
