Yep died in the **** for a while there, during the FPV presentation. Didn't catch all of what he said, but what I did hear didn't have any surprises. Anyone get the whole message? Anything said we didn't know already?

GT-P wheels aren't too different. But new pics show the cars much better than the Motor Mag. Looks great. Especially the foglight surround on the GT-P

Basically that they didn't know why anyone woudl order GT-P,

Specifically mentioned the wheels and the fog light surround but couldn't see much else. However also said the pictures they have aren't good.

TheSneakiness · 13-10-2005, 09:24 AM

Trust Crompton to be host too.

HSE2 · 13-10-2005, 09:31 AM

Some information that should be up shortly.

Gt price $62210 auto is 1250 option

Gt-P price is $70410 auto also a 1250 option

Now I am not sure on this one but I think you can order the 6 pots brakes on GT and that probably means F6 too for $4300.

All other options look to be about the same price

Smoke Pursuit · 13-10-2005, 09:32 AM

Looks like they stole the XR5 Turbo badge off an XR6 Turbo lol!

Damn exciting for Focus owners, should be an awesome ride!

The manuals *might* have a new clutch. And yes its is that much across the board for the auto

XR6turbo · 13-10-2005, 09:35 AM

Where are all the photo's and why isn't the fpv website updated??? Sh*t ford **** me off sometimes!

JPFS1 · 13-10-2005, 09:41 AM

Thanks Ian.

I will be out of the office most of the day today, i'm sure there will be lots to catch up on here when i get back later today.

CSV_LS1 · 13-10-2005, 09:46 AM

CSV_LS1 · 13-10-2005, 09:55 AM

You look after us. thanks

WASP · 13-10-2005, 09:58 AM

Regardless of the value proposition, I like the GTP so far and from the pictures it looks like the gauge pods remain.

I guess value will be in the eye of the beholder and will get down to the small details. The webcast specifically mention Brembo front brakes on all models. It will be stuff like that. Looking real close you can just make out the new FPV seat logo.

From memory the GT-p has only gone up about 200 dollars so that’s a pretty good achievement in my book

CSV_LS1 · 13-10-2005, 09:59 AM

No probs.

Yep it's standard on Super Pursuit and optional on normal Pursuit.

Smoke Pursuit · 13-10-2005, 10:00 AM

Got anymore pics CSV?
