FPV GT-P Review

http://video.caradvice.com.au

The new FPV GT-P is powered by the most powerful Coyote V8 in the entire Ford empire. It pumps out a massive 335kW, plus a wall of torque -- 570Nm from just over 2000rpm to just under 6000rpm. You get supercar performance on a muscle car budget -- with plenty of local engineering development packed under the bonnet. Drive it and you'll experience a three-way tie in terms of what you like the best: the neck-snapping acceleration, the glorious crackle on overrun from the exhaust or the supercharger whine that permeates the cabin whenever your right foot's set to 'loud'. You want one. We all do.

@bladez0rz23 Holden did have a 5L, it was a piece of shit.

I'm going to uni to get a decent engineering degree so that I can earn a truckload of cash in income so I can buy one of these as my ride!!

[trevorhendy123]

@Blandy086 Mate I completely agree with all of the above...except my last favourite Holden was the SV89...lol

[Blandy086]

@trevorhendy123 understood, i am a Ford and Holden fan, as i feel both companies have made their greats and shit cars, i like more fords than holdens, being honest, i LOVE the new GT's with th 5.0lt supercharged "coyote" V8 and hate the VE series altogether no matter what series, the VT GTS was my LAST favorite holden, that being said, i hated the AU falcon also. i have just bought a Ford FG MKII XR6 ute, and i tell u.... its brilliant compared to the SV6

[trevorhendy123]

@Blandy086 Yeah mate I used to be a HSV fan too, but I bet you any money my stock XR6 Turbo will flog the fuck out of a VX GTS. The only thing Holden had going for it was its home built 5 litre, they should have developed that instead of going with the yank tank motor. That's why I'm a Ford fan now.

[Blandy086]

That being said, the 1999 HSV VT GTS R8, with the Calloway corvette 5.7 not the 5.0 stroked to 5.7, any ford fan could agree was a masterpiece, in 1999 was the worlds most powerful 4 door saloon and generated 300kws, it was/is a magic car. But like I said both companies make their good and shit cars, I'm just glad to see Aussie engineering showing what it can do to the rest of the world. FPV, HSV.... Keep making us proud!

[Blandy086]

I'm not a ford or Holden fan, both have good and shit cars, however I think u would be mad to pay $90,000+ for ur top of the range, 317kw, HSV (PBR) Brakes, and basic options pack when u could have a $83,900 top of the range fully optioned FPV with 335kw, Brembo 6pot front 4 pot rear brakes.... Cheaper and better... It is purely because Australia is a Holden nation that HSV can produce something not as good yet ask too much, Holden fans should stop buying HSV so the price will come down and u w

[Blandy086]

Hmmmm, as for HSV only need 20 more kw? No, kws doesn't mean shit in applied power to the wheels, that is torque, and this car doesn't need to build to 5400rpm like HSV do to get peak torque, peak torque is available at 2200 rpm, so basically as soon as u plant the foot ur at full power whereas HSV u get the build to it, this car hands down has the better performance, GMH really do need to look at a better designed engine, not bigger just better, quad cam does have it's pros, even without super
