The Horses Mouth! The FPV Reality - Page 3

It won't happen, but if we're just spitballing ideas I'm sure a twin turbo Miami would make more power than the GT500 engine.

It seems odd that Ford is doing so much with EcoBoost but sticks with superchargers for V8s. I guess the plumbing is too much of a hassle for production with a V8.

So I am only allowed to post here if I praise Ford Australia every day, and pretend how the 5.0 is Australian? OK that makes sense!

I'll be sure to ask your permission before I post again, ok?

Bring on the horsepower wars like the good old days!

Yeah no kidding, the BMW M5 has 420kw now. Oh wait, no we have to pretend those cars don't exist and go back to the exceptional value for money argument and still call anything FPV brings out a "hero car" even when by today's standards, 300kw is very decent, but nothing special. Diesel trucks are putting out that kind of power here these days!

They need to chat to Merc and BMW then.

And others who are presumptuous. You haven't even asked if I have seen, sat in, or driven one. Would you like to ask me that now, or are you panicking because you can kinda figure out where this is going? You just looked at my location and thought you knew everything?

LOL cos me posting here is preventing you from working.

So as you can probably guess by now (cos you have completely shut up).

I have seen, sat in, and driven an FPV (GT-P)
My dad has owned an HSV Grange, which I used to drive all the time. Had my own LS1 Holden in Australia.
I have driven quite the variety of cars!

All I did was give an opinion that Ford should use one of their engines in one of their cars. Look how silly you got!

Rodge · 03-07-2012, 03:12 PM

^^Listen up my american friend. The managing Director of FPV has allready stated that the new Panther will be powered by a version of the supercharged Maimi engine. There is no part of that that requires interpretation.

You've aired your opinion and got no support whatsoever.
May I suggest you re-read post 57 and then leave it at that.

Chilliman · 03-07-2012, 03:13 PM

Can't be sure where I read it, but the next all-new Mustang GT500 (due in 2016?) will be powered by a Coyote-based 5.0Litre V8. There will be forced induction but I'm not 100% on wether it will be supercharged or turbocharged?

Kable72 · 03-07-2012, 03:18 PM

Can someone tell me why everytime we get these positive threads that give us some hope that our beloved Falcon and FPV are going to continue trading get flocked by people just to shoot it down?

I come here to read positive things about Ford, Falcon and FPV and all I see is supposed "fans" doing nothing but shooting down who they seem to admit to love. I don't understand why they do it. If you don't want to say positive things about Ford or FPV, I don't think the AFF is the website for you. I think you might find you're welcomed at the Holden forums.

If people are going to pick silly fights, then back them up. I think most of you have taken me the wrong way. I wasn't critical of the product, I was criticizing the article and suggesting what Ford should do. Why some people get so silly about it is beyond me.

Ok, so you changed it to "my American friend." Again, presumptuous... I was born in England, grew up in Australia, lived in America for 5 years.

VICFPV · 03-07-2012, 03:54 PM

That is great news.

Now what is needed is FPV marketing getting their act together and releasing teasing shots and information to really drum up awareness and sales.

Best news we've had from FPV, since the Miami was announced...

And people on here are telling them that the Miami isn't good enough, how this does that etc...

Where else can you get a 330Kw (possibly more) RWD supercharged 4 door sedan this side of 100 grand?

Hmmm...

No where else but here, in Australia, buy Australians for Australians.

FPV!

I nearly went out and bought an FPV to get one before they're gone. maybe this IS their marketing strategy?

why don't i? i've only just finished paying off my XR8, i need a breather before getting back into debt.

This has got me as well. Its a motor that is fantastic and if the rear end is getting tweaked no ****y little power increase would give the same result.

Looking forward to this special edition.

Auslandau · 04-07-2012, 10:50 PM

Think everyone should take a few deep breaths and count to 10.

I would say it is proven about the Miami is very capable of huge numbers with just a tweak ...... and there is absolutely plenty up its sleeve down the track. It is a new engine in its infancy!

But ..... the topic is really about FPV in general so lets not all get too side tracked and cranky.
