So many haters.

I never disputed the merits behind buying an FPV or HSV. If merely identifying the fact (for cost measurement purposes) that any HSV/FPV starts life as a base model makes it more logical to pimp an XT than buy a GT, then I'm lost for words because it doesn't make sense. You cannot build your own GT equivalent with an XT shell unless you can somehow get all the parts at cost price. (I read recently that Ford wants $23,000 alone for a new FG XR Boss 290!) For this reason, I'll take an FPV thanks. However, food for thought, what would win: A W427 or an XT shell with $120,000 put into it?
