Has anyone driven a GT. I don't mean to brag, but I have!!! And I can't wipe the dammed smile off my face. I have two words to shout

BLOODY AWESOME

Sitting behind that bonnet bulge and hearing the V8 idle was allmost enough. Taking 1st gear, letting the clutch out and applying the throttle heavilly, put me in instant heaven.

BLOODY AWESOME

Taking off without slipping the clutch or using any revs and then applying the throttle heavilly results in wheel spin, through to 2nd.

BLOODY AWESOME

For all those who don't like the "look" of the new GT. You'll forget it once you drive the beast. I'm worried now as the N/A XR6 that I have on order may have to grow into a GT. Nah can't justify the expense on my wage. But if I sell my left nut and work double shifts I might be able to do it!!!!!!

did I say

BLOODY AWESOME

certainly was!!! uptil now I thought the XR6T was the go as I have driven all the others and although the felt better in some ways the gains over the turbo were not huge. The 290kw and 520Nm of the GT is certainly a big gain. Still can wipe the grin off and it was 2 hours ago I drove it.

ayman! you've set yourself on the T right? stop trying to compare the T to the V8s! I do the exact thing and i always come to regret it later down the track. So do what i do now, just be happy with what ya have :) or gonna have :)
Come on Snavy listen to me. Let's go for that GT! I mean we'll live only once you know:)
FPV people will keep on picking on us for the coming 3 years at least,lol. I'd say let's close FPV Discussions alltogether!!

just wait till you get to drive it.

BLOODY AWESOME

Still can't wipe the smile off my face!!!!!

I like to compare cars on the same piece of road which I haven't done with the GT as the traction is different on roads around the place, so I can't say exactly what the GT is like in the same place as the XR6T, but IMHO it feels heaps quicker. AS for wheel spin from idle and then later on, it would spin all the way if you let it as you have to quickly change into 2nd before you run out of 1st gear. Best car I have had the pleasure of driving. Its a great time to be alive!!! And it should only get better!!! I should get to do high speed runs in the thing shortly, that will be interesting to see top speed!!!

Not able to tell anything about features and whats different to XR8's as that isn't allowed due to company policy, but I would think that telling you the car is BLOODY AWESOME wouldn't be risking my job. You all know what the GT looks like, i'm just giving a clue as to how it feels in regards to go. As you all know the specs of the motor i'm just conferming what you know already believe. This is a BLOODY AWESOME vehicle which should go down in history as best falcon ever in my opinion. If this thing doesn't sell then its sure not because there is something wrong with the car! If I could afford to buy it and then run and insure it then I would have ordered one today after my drive. Will have to settle for my new BA XR6. I will remember last nights 3/4hr drive for a long time to come.

BA Falcon
BLOODY AWESOME FALCON
BLOODY AWSOME FALCON THAT WILL BE A HSV KILLA

Wish a had one in my driveway!!!
