does any one no bout the new gt-ho fords bringing out.

[jarryddelany]

i sore it on the front of a mag just wondering if anyone knows something. i no its 355kw im pretty sure

[nstg8a]

lol, its just another mag beat up to sell more copies, theres no firm information in the article.

[Che16]

yeah they didnt give much information on the gtho more on the new ford v8

[Nikk O'lass]

Every year a GT-Ho is ment to come out.

[jarryddelany]

lets hope it does come out. That would be awesum.

[Fairmont888]

i'd bloody hope it has alot more than 355kw. doesn't deserve the nametag otherwise

[SVD]

it needs to be a race spec road car with 400+kw a true! 6 speed manual as only transmission, 8 track as an optional stereo add on and some fat rubber, none of this 8"-9" crap im taking 10"+ with enough power and torque to smoke them in the first 4 gears!!!

[CHEETR]

itll just be a badge ... just like every other car these days with no racing history whether its holden or ford

[EF ECTIV]

why would ford realistically bother? Back in the day it was the fastest 4door sedan in the world.... to hold that title now it
would have to be epic.... whatever they release will be a disappointment.....

[CHEETR]

well said.

but as always there will be people paying the money thinking they are awsome cars..

just like the monaro and W427 awsome cars, but hold no history what so ever.. therefor its just the marketing the company does on them to hype them up..

bring back the group a racing days

[pHaT`eL]

Its just because theres a new Ford V8, same size as a Windsor, but with decent power. 5L - 285kw, 5.8L - 335kw, SC 5.8L 385kw. Would go nice in a wagon

Be the first to do the conversion Pete. Use Beth house as equity. You will get 15k easy.

[Michael (HYPOEB)]

it should have more then 355!

and they betta not make 1000000000 of them like they did with the BA/BF GT.
every man and his dog has one.

[pHaT`eL]

335 will be enough to stay ahead of the stock LS2. Keep in mind its a hell of a lot lighter than the Boss so it should be able to corner well too

[Michael (HYPOEB)]

Yehh but you got to remember this a HO! not just a GT or GT-P

i just hope they make sure they make it right!

[67rce]

The HO is, at this stage, just a MYTH

[Parfrey]

i rekon it'll be good if they do it properly.. doesn't matter if its not the fatest 4 door sedan and hasn't been raced etc. as long as its heaps better and faster than a GT it should be good. 350+kw would be nice

[nstg8a]

it dosnt just need to be better than the gtp... it needs to be better than anything wearing a holden badge.. and to beat the walkinshaw its gonna need some might huge hairy balls.


if i had 80k id be driving a walky no doubt about it

[EDXR61994]

IMO they need to only make the same amount of these cars as the XYGTHOs (If a HO happens there has been talk on one for years) I Feel the thing needs to pull around the 400ish KWs mark to rival or ideally pip the W427. If they want to market it properly keep it under 100 grand if they can and it will undercut Holden's W427 and will have people clambering to get their hands on them.

But not only that... the HO has to perform not like the current GTs...out done by typhoons...this thing has to be a "Grand Tourer"...it needs to hunt hard in a straight line and also corner and pull up brilliantly. If ford or FPV are to make a car worthy of the name plate it has to be rare and it has to perform....

It also will need something big in the looks department. I think a GTHO should stand out from 100m down the road...(without the bat mobile grill of the EL GT) but it needs to look different to the standard GT or GTE/GTP...perhaps a different looking kit or something else. a special new age shaker would proberly look awesome /shrug I don't know just some thoughts...

[Commando]

I think this question should be asked at www.fordforums.com.au

[LTDHO]

I hope they don't bring it out.

FoMoCo have already raped the name 'GT' and 'Cobra' by bringing out pathetic main stream mass produced cars.

A GTHO will be a GT with a bigger body kidt factory shacker, it will have less power than the HSV and go slower!

If Ford want a GTHO, it needs to be powerful with next to no cosmetic bullshit. Maybe an air dam and rear wing only.

But my guess For will be pussies and just release a GT with different bocy kit, wheels and call it 'HO'

Ill agree with you on that one Wayne.

1 vote for no GTHO.

[Steady]

it dosnt just need to be better than the gtp... it needs to be better than anything wearing a holden badge.. and to beat the walkinshaw its gonna need some might huge hairy balls.

Rajab, Bresciani, and JPC have quicker Holdens.
What exactly does Walkinshaw have to do in relation to a discussion on a factory car?

I hope they bring it out and it's a badge special.
It will be fukken hilarious watching people who can't afford to buy one crying about it.

[vegabass]

Dont ruin the name. Leave the HO alone.

If you want a HO then go and see Tim at City Suspension and get a proper HANDLEING OPTION put in. Not a piss weak attempt by ford.

[BLCKED]

the gt/ gt ho was built to win bathurst

so going by their last gt and gt ho projects they should build a 600 horse power 5 litre that co insides with touring car regulations and release it for sale to the public.

And get it registered how? Because to meet touring car regulations means Cage, and also a windsor...

[Dansedgli]

Whats the difference. This is a hopes and dreams thread about a car that will never eventuate to be as good as anyone wants.

Agree 100% cause FPV don't have the balls to do anything other than a sticker pack

exactly. so they shouldn't build one

[Nikk O'lass]

A new GT HO won't need to be built to V8 supercar specs, rather the production car class that beats around the bush.

Keep in mind that the GTHO was the fastest 4door because there was no serious competitor, back in those days coupes were the rage.

A GT would have to be built to the same specs as say, a EVO or GT-R skyline.

The Original GT's were Faimonts with more poke, and a GTHO a devlopment focused on road holding and speed.
