I dont understand so many years and the thing looks the same as the first BA
Dont get me wrong i love the BA but surely they are now just flogging a dead horse
It hasnt changed at all (very minor cosmetics)

Well the LS1.com kids said about what I expected. I sure hope FPV knows what it's doing.

Love this comment on that thread...

"vecommo
Re: FPV response to the senator = Force 6 & 8
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTT. Looks like the same crap they were pumping out almost 5 years ago."

Can a Holden fan really pay out on another manufacturer for the amount of time it takes to update to a new model?

They aren't a decoy. I got the pics I posted off a site I shouldn't. :
The stripes are "MKII" stripes, found on BA MKII and BF MKII.

how did this site get them but ? and the ba mk 2 stripes are different to the bf mk1 stripes so i thought that most likely they would have a new stripe or keep the bf ones

Its a media site. They are photos taken by Ford. I cant say any more than that. I feel a bit bad for posting them.

As an ex T1 TS50 owner l think they look great. l like the understated Euro look and these cars get it pretty right. l really cant be bothered with big wings and stripes anymore so these suit my maturing tastes perfectly e

The site I got the photos from have taken them down off their site today. I should not have access to the site, but I do and I know other users of this forum also have access.



That GT is a BF. It has BA MKII stripes. BA MKII stripes are the same as BF MKII stripes. There aren't many different combos of stripes out there. There cars were under the heading of FPV BF MKII. The fact that the photos have now been removed from the site indicates to me that they are legit.

EDIT: I cant tell you what the web site is because then they'll change the password and we'll never get "scoop" pics
