c) Proper sports seats, the lumbar "support" if you can call it that of existing F6 seats is hopeless in the twisties, (option of GT-P seats makes sense) or at the least they could have had decent seat bolsters like in the case of BF2 Typhoon seats.
d) He said they were working hard on it and whether he admitts it or not clearly inferred there would be improvements. What I'm suggesting is they havn't worked hard enough and I'd bet money future market sales of the F6 will validate my point of view.
e) As you know we've covered that before. That would cost serious money they havn't got.

Why would existing F6 owners upgrade when the vehicle they're being offerred is substantivly the same as a 2008 F6, same power, same torque, same handling, same driveline, same shape, same brakes, same soft unsupportive seats. FPV do almost exactly the same with MK2 F6 and they expect a different result...or do they ?
Suits me that FPV have a very clear R&D bias towards the SC V8 but I can't see turbo six fans doing handstands over it.
Why don't you say the whole F6 body kit is a hand me down. The wheels aren't hand me downs as you put it, they are, though, at the very least, a differentiation between Mk1 and Mk2. They could have done something else, but then someone other than you would have complained, so I don't see the point in FPV going overboard with spending especially when the whole idea is mainly to differentiate Mk2.

Not everyone likes dark rims? Like those Dark Argents? You've seen a glimpse of them on the intermenet and you're already concluding most won't like them?
They're not to your liking, that's cool, not everyone has taste.


In part "d)" you say "he's working hard on it". Working hard on what? The PCM? He must have been leading you up the garden path because how hard could it be. You're the only one in this thread asking for more power for the F6, everyone else here knows that's not necessary.
Then, you're contradicting yourself or you've changed your mind - Earlier you said there's almost nothing between them (and I agree), now you say there's headroom. What, like an extra 0.05 sooner to 100km/h?

I didn't think they were any different to the seats in the GT.

Next time you meet him ask him to be more clear. And Rodge, don't get wound up over this, from time to time they do give out false info for the obvious reasons.

Regarding the 8sp, it was tongue in cheek. Like, you expect too much.
