August 8, 200719 yr #1 Took the beasty to the dealer for a few bits and pieces yesterday that needed doing. I picked it up this afternoon (with that horrid swish swish from the back brakes finally gone )the sales manager showed me the spec sheets for a limited edition F6 300 build with their own second number and wheel, suspension and brake upgrades more sporty interior etc but no power upgrade . There is also a GT being released for Bathurst making 302kW with the blue stripes etc, in limited numbers. Also got told there is a meeting in Perth with the dealers and FPV in the morning for pre release breakfast and briefing. Factory BF Cobra will be a nice looking car I reckon
August 8, 200719 yr #2 Exercise in propaganda, Throw a couple of bagdes and bits on a car and call it a limited edition. Its just ford trying to keep up interest time Orion gets here.
August 8, 200719 yr #3 mmm interesting, wonder if they will become a collector or just another body kit and sticker option. Still, always liked the cobra styling.

Its just ford trying to keep up interest time Orion gets here.Generally I find rebadging for sales bulls**t but at this stage in the curent life of the ba/bf Ford can add a badge and minor bits or anything as longs it creates interest & sells numbers!!! they really need to move as many units as they can before the orion comes out.nice profile pic btw!
