Good thing I graduate, by the time this beast hits the floor (IF it hits th floor), I might have a decent downpayment saved for a house I can use for this instead. lol.

especialy in not being so wild with big blingy rims and impossible panel details?? -Means atleast this "CONCEPT" will have more chance of being faithfull to what we areactualy looking and drooling over rather than a majorly dulled down version like usual. |

Looks good.
Glad to see Ford/FPV choosing the much nicer looking G6 tail lights on the 50th anniversary XRs and this car too instead of those hideous 'Altezza' style ones.

Im not particularly a fan of this car, alltogether too much black.. But its a positive step in the right direction at least..
Id not be calling this a concept car, but more likely a testing of the waters type look forward at whats coming.. On the upside, its definantly a step in the right direction with ditching those ghastly faggy eye shadows from under the headlights.. Some bigger wheels make good sence as traction would be an issue with the new 5.0 s/c drivetrain.. Suspension tweeks are another area the FPV offerings were dragging a bit behind the competition too.. Now if only FPV could put in an interiour worthy of those good GT-P type seats instead of that vulgar, totally Fugly, generic, basic FG XT dash and door trims, then theyd be on more of a winner.. And if they made the ICC setup a bit more interactive and useable just to be on par with the opposition.. Oh and FPV still badly need to take a long hard look at how they treat their customers re warranties etc.. Is that enough to make me wanna buy another FPV and update my current car.. Nope. Plus, I couldn't own another black daily driver..

as per my previous post - are the vents related to a future Intercooler (Hence the snow testing spy shots)?

Has anyone had a look inside the new vents on the bumper of the FPV Black? In the photo that Lupin posted in the motorshow thread there are 2 green marks in there which I assume are reflections off something.

From what I can read it's a 10% power gain with the supercharger.
Must be very low boost, only in the 2-3 psi region? |

Saw it today and looked great ...... loved the wheels, the front and the stripes ..... always wanted to do a black on black. Especially comparing to the over cooked opposition. I wouldn't call it a concept but more of a "What you think ... ?" to the public for the next line of FPV's. Still like the racoon eyes and that's what I will get.

Well, it is pretty well documented that most 335 GT S/C are in fact between 310-330rwkW. This is in line with the few W427 HSV which have been dyno'd and cost $155k. The dyno figures suggests that the GT 335 are badged are grossly under rated. 375kW at the engine is a reasonable estimation. It's also exactly why the S/C GT just like the F6 beats the HSV in and around circuits. The margin gets huge once traction becomes less an issue. These 'concept' modifications are a prelude of what else is to come. Seems pretty clear to me, that FPV and Ford are changing and they are listening & responding more to the (potential or existing) customers.
