I went with the current GT-E.
But a manual GS Ute would be good too.

I'm over the BA/BF styling, had one for 5 years now so it would have to be an FG.

FG GT For me.

In silhouette, no stripes
Full leather
Sunroof
ZF
All the interior fruit (ie: sound, tech pack, etc)

And just for fun, 2 unavailable options:

- AU3 Fairmont Ghia wheels re-sized to 19"
- Racoon eyes delete.

Blueprint Force 8... I know it wasn't an option but hey. Throw in the BF R Spec suspension package, 335SC Miami & manual for me please.

For me that would be the ultimate ride. Loud colour with chome highlights, sleek body kit, upgraded suspension and SC V8 manual goodness.

Definitely a BF Force just because of how luxo & how rare they are.

In fact I don't think I've ever seen one in the flesh!

Have to be a BF Force for me. Black with black leather, manual, sunroof etc.. With the 335 they would never get it back.

Only seen one black one in the flesh, it looked awesome.

I owned the best combo they made IMO, BA GT-P, black no stripes or decals.

The BA's looked the toughest by a long way, the updated bars made them look more sophisticated but softer. The FG's need a lot of work to get right IMO but when they are, they look brilliant.

So, BA FG BF for me.

I want a nice V8 without the big wings or stripes...
So, GT-E for me. Great interior with great options.

If not that, a BFII Force8, which I actually think looked meaner thought not as classy.

I chose BF Force - but before I explain why....

Ponder this:
Currently Car #1 is FG GT-E and Car #3 is the Force....
Both luxo performance cars, that sold poorly...
Interestingly - we choose luxury before outright peformance...

I chose the Force range because of the sleeper looks (particularly with 6cyl bonnet please) but it has all the good bits...
Mine would be lightning strike, red leather trim, roof, brembos, and i'd take the ZF auto thanks

Sleeper Looks - Ball Tearing Performance - and Rare...
Though - good luck getting it back from me in 5 years...

You'll have to catch me first...
