Sorry Rodge I misread it but I am surprised thay even went down this path given past history. The seats would have been nice but I think the GT-P side of things will be wrapped up lonng before this hits production, in fact I doubt you can order one now.

As far as 90's local performance cars, they were at the top of their game and only bettered by the VS GTS-R. The E series GT's were damn good cars, I'd be proud to own one. |

I think everyone who has been having a go at no difference in power output should just relax and wait for the full specifications which Ford said will release soon. They have printed the power output for the Pursuit at 315kw but nowhere in the specs for the GT-F is power output. Watch this space. Looks like they sucked a few in already!

I had a big thing for the EB and EL GT models when I was a kid. Something about them drew me in. Can't say I'd be too bummed if there was an EL GT sitting in my shed...

Could this model mean that Ford have a fair few FG Falcons fitting around in the yard so they released this GT-F?

Less than 2 years of the Falcon and counting, if it goes the stated distance, and can someone (anyone) explain the logic of no pictures?

Does the power level even matter?
My understanding is the 335 will shred the tyres at any speed currently. FPV has admitted it hits 375kw on over boost so power isn't a problem.Its all about traction and handling now. This will probably be the fastest GT ever regardless of what sticker they put on the side of it.

Can't help wondering why they never had a tinker with the F6 engine which has been making 310 kw's for the last six years. Also even if they couldn't get any more power out within their strict framework of reliability, why not have a last F6 R Spec with the better suspension and brakes ?. R&D was paid for on this model ages ago, why not have a final hurrah for this model too ?...go figure.

The pursuit ute is laughable. Still same power as GS and no decent wheels.
Wonder if the sedan will have different wheels, or the same boooooring ones the GT has had for ages.

At least the sticker price is reasonable and not 85k or whatever others were claiming in the past. |

The 201X turbo will remain 270kw, the F6 engine will be dead by next month.
Ford would be reluctant to do another F6 R spec as from memory the last one didn't sell and they were still trying to clear them out long after they went on sale. It only has a tiny fraction of the appeal that an LE GT does. Although it would have been a good bit of gear with the upgraded suapension and bigger rears, and launch control on the autos since the manuals already have it. |

Looking forward to the running gear/power announcement and to see some pics.
Speculation can be fun, but this thread has hit it's quota of sooking. In fact if I hear and more whinging come from your !*@# mouth I think I'll eat every *#@! chicken in this room Sorry for the GoT reference but very fitting in this instance.

Consider these all sold out.
I have no idea why the GT-F/Pursuit threads aren't closed already, there is nothing else to talk about really.

Have you been in my shoes today? Have you seen emails from other stock controllers today? Not just QLD mind you. Gadgetman is a dealer too and look at his posts.

I got to page three before all the negativity in this thread caused me to go into a state of acute depression, start listening to The Cure and want to slash my wrists.
Personally, this post sums it up for me. Quote:

My salesman I'm dealing with still doesn't know much about this new GT yet. In fact, when I was in the showroom last I knew more about the features of the FPV's he had on the floor than he did.

I am referring to the fact that you said the thread should be closed down?
