Occasionally it goes pear shaped but have you ever actually sat back and thought how pear shaped life would be if we didn't have them or if the crooks were allowed to run the place due to the the cops just sitting on their hands due to the associated risks involved in police work. No, I didn't think so.

Things must be awfully quiet in the Fiesta section of this forum!!!!!!

"Occassionally things go pear shaped."

Hmmm.

So the loss of life is things going "pear shaped."

Ok. Interesting. My view of life is obviously different to others on here.

I'll just say this: Are you prepared to lose your wife? Your son? Your daughter? As you are sitting innocently in your car coming home from a day out?

Are you prepared to write this off as collateral damage - at their funeral would you go "oh well, things went pear shaped?"

If not don't comment.

Ok enough.

The topic is the new promotional GT R-Spec.

Any more politics or bleeding heart stories will be treated as off topic and warned accordingly.

I just saw this car on ACA - it was being used as Road Traffic Management on the Lindsay Fox segment

[usernametaken]

FFS the police did it for exposure.

And judging by the amount of posts on this thread they made the right choice.

[usernametaken]

sorry flappist, I replied to a post on a different page without seeing your slap down.

Please delete if deemed too political.

cheers

It went past me today in a hurry catching up to a young punk in a Honda civic on the m7 sounded great.Also seen a cool looking red F6 with the new livery and the low profile roof lights.Think the NSW hwp coolest looking cars

consider starting a spit ya dummy thread for those hell bent on carrying on with the cop bashing and let them go for it.......so we can then enjoy this thread and what it was started for and no added whining.

Can't you just be happy for Ford and FPV... that this is great for them.

Nup... not on Ford Forums.

I sent Autoblog a tip about this car, and they put up a blog about it:

More of the same from the Yanks: BRING US THE FALCON!!!!

[GTP534]

Yep, the only "whining" we want here is the supercharged variety!

[MrEL]

I seriously cant believe the way people on this site carry on now days and act like a bunch of Nannas.
If the NRMA's Open Road magazine was a forum it would be this place.
The only issue I have with the car is the fact it is 400KW.
It should be 500KW!

Only issue it's not in my driveway...

I read through this thread earlier and thought 'wow, if this is the level of whinging on a Ford Forum about a Hot GT Pursuit special, imagine the cry fest over at LS1.com'
Then i wondered over for a look...99% praise from the other side.

Great concept, great car and great for Ford.

Go get em!

I saw this R Spec GT at Intune Motorsport about 4 weeks ago. It had standard number plates and the livery wasn't fitted yet.

John was asked to keep the power lever to around 400kw.

They did the cat back exhaust, tune and pulley swap resulting in an easy 406rwkw...

Sounds about right.

[Bonn]

Yes!
A dramatic improvement over the XR6Ts currently in use (not that there's anything wrong with that....:-)
Here (in Newcastle) the XR6Ts used by Hwy Patrol appear to be lowered and wear 19 or 20" black 5-spokers, which carry a certain air of authority.
i believe they all have premo brakes as a given.
Anyway, that R-Spec is sweeeeet.

I think if police can critisize our cars , then we can have critism for there cars also.

Everyone has their own tastes but how can any one criticize an FPV GT335 RSpec 406rkw pursuit on a Ford forum without looking like a troll. Especially when the actual police department didn't pay for it as such and any form of publicity like this is good?

Can't see it really

[FGII-XR6]

Best post of the thread . This is an impressive car (even more so when you find out it's RW Kw) and regardless of cost true Ford enthusiasts should be behind it

Is it any wonder FoA is in trouble with "supporters" like some of the people in this topic?

[pursuit57]

Hopefully one the OzLotto tickets I just bought cracks the big one tonight.

Be down at my local Ford dealer first thing to show some more support - wonder what the build waiting time is at the moment....prob give me enough time to build another garage like Fort Knox

[Kable72]

Pursuit, build time is around 3 months for FPVs. Gives you plenty of time to build your fortress.

[Mr G8]

That GT is sick! I'd love to get pulled up by that, I'd ask the officer for a look, and maybe a spin haha!

[deadfish2]

i cant help but feel that the front bar on that gt r looks like it should be on an XT, is rather plain looking...... awesome bit of car though

[Buntz]

Old Dicky J still gets to have all the fun.

[GTP534]

Those exhaust tips look awesome!
