Splitting hairs.
FPV GT , Falcon GT , they are both Aussie made Ford GT's based on the falcon body. The important thing here is the GT nomenclature and intent and lineage.
I still consider my BFGT to be a falcon GT, because that's what it is in my mind.

I view it differently. Any GT which is prior to "Miami engines" arent real GTs. The thing that gave the XY GT's worldwide recognition was the brutal power the vehicle had vs its competitors. Until FPV brought out the 5.0 supercharged v8, anything before it was lame in comparison.

What a crock of dog poo, you should be ashamed of posting such rubbish

Wandered around my local dealer last week-end and they had 2 GT-F's in the showroom, both with 'sold' on the side windows.

They were in the exact same spot in the showroom at least a month or more ago with the same 'sold' stickers on the windows.

Not sure if they are still there now.

Why? When you have a $90k BF GTP for arguments sake that was slower than a $50k BF XR6 Turbo and believe me it is, why is my argument dog poo. Shouldnt be the pinnacle performance car in the range when it isnt!

Firstly, 90k for a BF GTP

, maybe in NZ but in Aussie RRP was around 70k?

Secondly, please don't compare a XR6T to a GTP, clearly you haven't driven one

. Maybe an F6 . . . But XR6T?

S/C GT miles better car than the F6.....looks better , goes better , sounds better. Why did they even bother with the F6. Should have just spent all the coin on the GT.
Horses for courses as they say.

99AUXR · 13-09-2014, 05:39 PM

F6 vs GT comes down to preference. Both great cars IMO.

Whitey-AMG · 13-09-2014, 05:46 PM

Much Lols.

The gadgetman bait post has put us all in a spin....

What's a XR6T got to do with a GT, answer = nothing

Don't know about go better, haven't seen many matching the 12.3 stock mine was doing, with about 50rwkw less than GT's power wise

I agree look wise and sound though, also about 15k dearer as well

Bonn · 14-09-2014, 08:28 AM

What really s#its me about dealer-placed ads on carpoint/sales, is that they ALL seem totally incapable of even listing the Build Number, let alone photographing it, so there's never any way to get a feel for how 'lucky last' or personally significant the number might be.
Tossers.....

All well and good but don't ya feel like your driving a skyline.

Black F6 · 14-09-2014, 02:40 PM

Yeah most skylines are fast lol

elgt146 · 14-09-2014, 03:08 PM

The great debate..

For me having a GT is about driving heritage and a name badge that is known, recognized and trusted by owners.

Whether an F6 or something else is quicker is irrelevant because owning a GT is more than having the fastest car.

My choice for GT was because I could be part of history, have a V8 sound and the bonus part of that is, everyone knows what a GT is not many know what an F6 is or for that matter GT-P, TS50, GT-E.

F6 will have its place in history, but GT has history books, results and multiple generations of following that will never go away. Whether you drive an XR, XY, XA, EL, BF, FG they are all GT's.

Black F6 · 14-09-2014, 04:32 PM

Lol GT fanboys, test drove a GT when I bought the F6, and GT was no where near the car and they wanted 15k more, this was before Miami GT but at the time it was the best car, I drove GT, GTS and clubsport and none of them came close

SensationFG8 · 14-09-2014, 04:45 PM

The F6 is a nice car but it's not a GT.
You can talk about "GT fanboys" if you like that's ok, it's your choice.
You can enjoy your F6, also your choice.
Likewise others can enjoy the GT's.
No amount of chest beating will convince either camp their car sucks so I'm not sure why people try.

Yeh. But the F6 cars are too sterile. GT looks better , sounds better , especially the NA units and for many, they make you feel better when driving. The bonnet bulge , the V8 sound ( especially with sunroof and windows down ) And for many , the wholistic experience can be better. No one is doing 400m sprints at 200klm/h on the way to work , so the only advantage the f6 has is a moot point 95% of the time. Each to their own I guess. I had more than enough coin to buy either , and would have had change to spare had I picked up a BFI F6. Like you did , I bought what put a smile on my face , and still does 7 years down the track. It ain't stock now , it's a lot more fun with the adjustable suspension , exhaust , airbox and tune etc. etc...

If I wanted a drag car , I would have bought the F6. I wanted a fun car that stirs the emotions and still has the performance capability for 95% of the stuff I throw at it. The other 5%..... The F6 can have it.

Peace out.

Black F6 · 14-09-2014, 04:59 PM

25psi and turbo side doesn't sound too bad lol

99AUXR · 14-09-2014, 06:52 PM

I love my F6 put you only get most the fun when you give it a bit of stick. Driving the olds mans S/C GT I dont feel the need to go as fast. Just IMO of course

Whitey-AMG · 14-09-2014, 07:07 PM

On a side note , has the last F6 been produced and sold yet ?

99AUXR · 14-09-2014, 08:25 PM

Yes as far as I know dealers have no stock, dust in the wind.

Ohh, You're right, How would i know the MLP including on road costs for a GTP?? I am just a forum member that doesnt know much but pretends to like some others on here.

Well, I just presumed 2 cars in identical size with similar features barring engine differences and say brembo brakes, wheel and tyre size may just draw some valid comparisons. You're right, i have never driven any of these so maybe i dont know what i am talking about. Anyone care to spare me their cars for a couple of days?
