Vf Gts Vs The Europeans-Motor Mag Jan.2014

[upthefords]

you can buy the GT for 65k right now and the GTS will cost you 105k for manual ( driveaway )

Who cares how quick it is when the car looks like crap if I had 100K I'd buy a FG GS or GT and spend the extra cash on better things.

I still remember the FPV Force 6 and FPV Force 8 from 2006.

Ford was trying to get BMW, AUDI and MB owners / customers to buy one...

Never happend.

What's the big deal about the GTS anyway? Designing a car then dropping in an American donk is nothing new. They've been doing it since the 1960s. <br /><br /><br />IMHO they should be comparing this car against cars in the US right now not Euro cars. Similar conditions, price tags and handling but that might ruffle Detroit's feathers.

Beating an M5 only cost me $1400NZD (on top of the car itself):

(m5 just couldnt get power down off the mark)

But the RS6 on the other-hand:

RS6 best run was 12.1 (not stock)

(Excuse the excited wife, kids & mother in the background )

You did well against the RS6.It's difficult when they have awd(maybe with launch control)and the DSG tranny.

[hrick]

I'll have a rs6 any day.

Same, I`ve wanted one for a few years now, just need a spare 250 + K

[Wenier]

Nice Shrunk, looked like you were reeling the rs6 in. Was the drags on this weekend while the skope stuff is on or is this from a different weekend. I must go again and see what the ute can do.

[shrunk]

It was last weekend, managed to get about 7 runs before the rain set in.

Next drag day is on the 8th; I think it's motorbikes in the morning, cars afternoon
