FPV GT R-Spec vs Chrysler 300 SRT8 vs HSV ClubSport R8
It seems the heavens have smiled upon us, for today we have a rare moment in history: an article on a car enthusiast website that isn't about an economy car or a 4WD. Makes for a good read, though with the local cars both manual, a more skilful driver may have achieved better times.

Re: FPV GT R-Spec vs Chrysler 300 SRT8 vs HSV ClubSport R8
The red on the Gt makes it look ricer in my opinion, also i would of thought a supercharged v8 would run circles around the competion. Impressive car none the less.

looks like a P plater has attacked it with VHT paint hahaha, its bloody awful, i dont know why people like them with the Red, they gotta be stoned or something
Re: FPV GT R-Spec vs Chrysler 300 SRT8 vs HSV ClubSport R8
seriously that new gt would have to be fords next flop! the red stripes look alright but the mirrors and most importantly the wheels **** me dead... horrid! Reminds me of random rare models in the 80s with painted wheels... looked shit then looks shit now

ford took a good idea and ruined it.
especially those wheels.

Re: FPV GT R-Spec vs Chrysler 300 SRT8 vs HSV ClubSport R8
It doesn't help that Ford are using it as the 'hero' colour combo. You can get the R-spec in Vixen red, Winter White or Kinetic blue all with black highlights. The white looks mint IMO.
Wheels did the 4.6s time with an auto, plus some of them can drive.

Re: FPV GT R-Spec vs Chrysler 300 SRT8 vs HSV ClubSport R8
saw one of those gt-r specs on the road on saturday. looks like some mid 50's year old bloke has bought all the ebay sticker kits he can and fitted them to it. then painted the mirrors and wheels to match. looks soooo gay IMO
just because colours clash, dont mean they look good. i know eye candy gets away with it but ford should'nt....
EDIT: why are they using the R8 and not the GTS against the best of the other makes?

Re: FPV GT R-Spec vs Chrysler 300 SRT8 vs HSV ClubSport R8
Yeah saw one also. The red on black looks awful. Seriously should be black on red imo. It certainly caught the eye but all for the wrong reasons.
Re: FPV GT R-Spec vs Chrysler 300 SRT8 vs HSV ClubSport R8
Wouldn't take much to fix the colouring crisis, lower it on some nice silver mags. The colour wouldn't worry me if I had the $$ to buy one as it would be so easy to fix, other than that it seems like an awesome beast mechanically.

For anyone who doesn't know, the Ford's scheme is a direct copy of the Mustang Laguna Seca. Not that I disagree with your comments.
Rumours are heating up for LSA-powered HSVs, which may set a new benchmark again...

Interesting link! Would certainly heat things up a bit.
Re: FPV GT R-Spec vs Chrysler 300 SRT8 vs HSV ClubSport R8
I hate to think what the Lsa will do to the retail prices of the gts, 100k plus commo maybe?
Slap the bigger supercharger on the Miami and go Holden hunting again... Certainly a good time for horsepower....

The Red on black grows on you...
Its about time FPV did something that grabbed attention.

While its a bit too lairy for me, it's easily toned down, plus there's other colours to choose from.
I just wish I could afford one

Re: FPV GT R-Spec vs Chrysler 300 SRT8 vs HSV ClubSport R8
the blown gt's are cool but when will ford wake up and realise a single turbo v8 powered gt is the future.
