Gt-40(th) R Spec

[cooltint]

Cost me just over 1500 for Bilsteins all round and whiteline sway bars front and back, still reckon my car would handle better than any poxy R-spec GT.

FPV, you cheap bast@rds, where is the GT with the low boost supercharger and coilovers, now that you could call R-spec or dare I say it GT-HO

I understand the R-spec 'suspension' is based on the previously aborted monotube Delphi shocks, that were intended to be released ages ago. I forget whether it was for the BA or BF, and whether it was going to be FPV only.

Ford's manufacturer had probs with development, and so put the project on hold. Obviously, they didnt completely throw their money away, and kickstarted things again.

Simply, the R-spec suspension equates to to more aggressive bump and rebound shock settings, in a more advanced shock absorper package. Dont know about spring rates, though you'd imagine they'd have been tweaked too.

Good on FPV for offering an alternative, though I'm not going to be ditching my Bilsteins or swaybars for them ($1500 fitted all up w/adjustable bars).

Hell, for the money FPV will be asking, I'd much rather get myself the full Tein BF suspsension - with height and damping rate adjustment (damping adjustable on the fly with the EDFC cabin controller):

The car is not released yet, so I doubt there will be much more info on it untill it is released.

As for what is the R-Spec, it is just uprated suspension.

I would bet a set of Bilstein's, some springs and anti roll bars would cost 50% less and be better than the FPV offering.

I passed one on the road over the easter break between Goondiwindi & Moree.

I got the motor mag too. Here is a scanned image of the pages:

Anyone with a black Falcon can get gold stripes and make it look like a GT40th, this is the problem with this model.

SFA has been changed over a GT. I guess this makes sense, since a new model is coming out next year, but they could have done something more special than that.

All this shows is that Ford/FPV have done their usual half arsed effort AGAIN and THINK they have created something special.

This car is more of a joke than the EL/EB GT was in it's day.

So when are you putting your order in Zap?
