How about something to fill a hole in the lineup. F6-E Typhooned/GT-E'd version of the G6E-Turbo. Luxophoon

At least FPVs limited editions have been slightly better than the last few HSV special editions.

Yeah it'll be a blown Boss but to accomodate for the large cost of such a thing, it will come with in an XT body with a boss bonnet, all XT trims and Special edition Hubcaps.

FFS, change the damn wheels to a new design of 20's. Everyone's sick of the same rehashed crap carried over from the BF. :

GT-H = GT-Handling.
Same car, new shocks, springs, dampers, different wheels and wider tires and badges.

Why are people bagging the Cobra and 40th Anniversary GT?
Yeah, sure they came with different stripes and a build number, but they also came with...wait for it...MORE POWER!!! What's wrong with that??? A 5th anniversary FPV would have to be a mild styling change and maybe a couple of little extra's, otherwise all their going to do is p*ss their customers off who just paid for a GT / F6. Either that, or a GT-HO to celebrate their 5th would be gold! But really, what are they going to do? Would YOU be willing to pay $155k for something like a supercharged 5.4 litre BOSS that was designed to go head to head with the W427? I wouldn't. Especially if there were minimal styling changes (like W427) and vitually no differentiation. And can an FPV tweaked BOSS motor REALLY pull off the legend that is GT-HO ??? |

My old man has an FG F6 and it is unreal for a stock vehicle. Just check out the recent Motor BFYB. The F6 obliterates everything in any straight line acceleration test you care to mention. |
