Something you may want to rememeber is thet Holden/FPV buyers are not necessarily Ford/FPV buyers and assuming that both needs to counter each other's products is a recipe for disaster. One variation to that, G6ET does not sufficiently cover the "Calais and Calais V" niche. |

Not havin a go at you but, See.... personal bias aside, I just cant understand how anyone could think that. I looked at one recently out of curiosity and the interior is an absolute monstrosity clad in cheap plastic.

As far as the Corvettes, you can grab one for 90,000 already Right hand, so you'd still have one F6 or one GT. But in all honesty none of this has to do with what I was asking, I realize they are reasonably cheap compared to most, but not giving everything competitors are, which is why I asked the question to find out what the differences are to give me an idea of the differences.

Also, no proof to back this up, just brief reading, why is it that Holden has incorporated a lot of live information in their touch screen computer about the car, but Ford hasn't done this, correct me if they have however. I disagree with Holdens placement of the window switches however, allows for other people to play with them, and seems totally out of the way.

I may not have been the biggest fan of the falcon much anymore but if money would allow I'd have a new F6 in a heartbeat. It's funny people that put crap on FPV can't afford one. Long live the GT though.

There is an 07 Vette on ebay - second hand for 140k.... You may need to rethink the cost of bringing in a 2011 one, especially the cost involved of a RH conversion, plus importation and rego costs.. Hate to think of the cost of the latest ZR1 landed here!

Wow this place is becoming quite un-fun. Either getting comments bagging Ford/FPV with little backup on facts, or just as sad, the other way bagging other brands with as little backup or facts.
Trolls sprouting crap, or troll busters sprouting crap back at them, and those looking for balanced discussion, trying to put forward their opinions for all makes and models being accused as both trolls and one eyed zealots, from both sides. So sad.

Question was answered way back.

If the Op can't understand the advantages of an FPV then there's none so blind as those that will not see. I reckon a mod should close this before the Op digs a hole for himself all the way to China |

I bought my F6 for $58k with leather, cameras, dark argents and mats, i looked at a GTS the cheapest one i could get was $80k, the GTS certainly didnt have $22k of extras over a F6. (Fixed for Rodge )
And the most important thing that HSV is missing is BOOST!!!!!!

But hey, thanks for trying to contribute ;) At minimum, my "hole digging" has provided some sort of entertainment for some.

FPV SC GT!
It's a ford, it's supercharged, goes hard, sounds mint and has an engine that is not based on a 60 year old design that still cost the same. PS, How come the 5.4 had to go due to it not meeting tough new pollution rules yet the dino 6.0-7.0 pushrod donks over at GM continue on?? |

Seriously Orange, instead of feeding the ever growing Troll,
Once your over the restrictions, go to the dealers and test drive them for yourself, even if Fords marketting isn't the loudest, an FPV saleseman will certainly go above & beyond to explain all the features & optoins, You will never get an unbiased oppinion that is perfectly neutral as ALL people have different tastes in absolutely everything, once you realise that then you also realise that your own oppinion is the only one worth anything to you.
