How about ..... No? Why should praise be hung just because? If someone doesn't like the opposition it is very much OK to say it here in a fairly logical and un trolling manner .... BUT ...... hang crap on Ford and expect a back lash. Would you like me to remind you what most of the members here choice to drive and enjoy?????

The only credit I will give them is making sure that FPV makes a better car ..... and they did! That is all ...... now go and grab that HSV you love sooooo much.

God forbid anyone on here not liking the HSV ........ Bloody politically correctness gone mad I say!

Main reason that HSV sell more is that more people prefer the HSV ........ BUT not just because it is the better car, in many peoples minds who own an FPV ...... AND there is nothing wrong with that and stating so!

That's a bit harsh mate..

No way in hell i would take a HSV over an FPV equivalent - i couldnt drive both cars to their capabilities for it to make a difference. That and my father would probably disown me.

Im just paying credit where credit is due and maybe if FPV would have brought out what the GT R-SPEC has a few years ago, they wouldnt be in this position. I.e, everyone was crying out for wider rear rubber! Im pretty sure it was proved on this very forum that the old 5.4 with wider rear rubber was actually faster than the R8.

My point is, FPV should be more customer centric which would in turn have increased their sales and loyalty base. Rather than employ the approach of "we make it, Ford lovers will buy it". Nothing wrong with a Ford lover buying their product. But market share will see FPV through hard times which is where my concern really lies:

I may not be able to buy one now, but i sure as hell dont want FPV to fold and the whole FORD performance brand go under before i have a chance to. Attracting people from the red camp will make sure this nightmare never comes to light which was the point i was trying to get across.
