Not to mention interior and lack of any real modern technology.
Would have been awesome to see a new updated FPV range, imagine that tweaked motor in a new chasssis...
I have a FGX XR8, which is pretty much a GTF in a different skin with different tune. Agree it is based on FG chassis.

My brother crashed my FGX , in for repairs, he has gone to Melbourne and I am driving his AMG C63 with sports pack and extractors as daily replacement- the version with the 6.2 litre v8 with auto box settings of comfort/sport/manual paddle shifter.

Lets just say I miss my FGX-the AMG is cool but not as cool.

We have taken for granted what Ford/FPV/Prodrive have given out to us in the Miami Supercharged packages with its linear knuckle duster punching directness and that saying comes to mind-familiarity breeds contempt.
