Here's my new toy

2011 FPV FG GT 335 supercharged. 6 speed ZF auto, leather seats and reverse camera. Did the deal on Thursday and picked it up on Friday.

I traded in my old 2007 FPV BF Mk2 GT BOSS 290

Here are some photos from yesterday when I picked it up (overcast).
It’s raining today and that’s life ain’t it.







The rims have a nice argent style to it. Shame they weren’t 20” and staggered!




Build #348



It drives much better than a BF. Trim is substantially upgraded and the panels seem well put together.

Got car tinted this morning.



Overall its great fun to drive. The supercharger whine is good. It’s got a bi-modal exhaust and other nice features such as Ipod connectivity. It’s still in break in mode so I cant hammer it. It’s raining today so the road might be a tad slippery!

Oh hell yeah Ed, whilst I may be a Holden fan; That is one seriously awesome car!
Congratulations man, how long before we can expect to see some Decepticon paraphernalia adorning her flanks & hood?

What a beauty! That's one seriously gorgeous looking car. Colour me jealous. I'm so glad to see cars like this in this age of economical electric wimpy cars, give me a car with balls.

You forgot to take a picture of the goodness under the bonnet! It'd be all clean and perfect too.

Thanks Dave!

Nah mate, no Decepticon logos.

Although it was was - it would be the Aussie version of Megatron!

A bloody good point Jena; Show us the Donk Ed!

Thanks Dave!

Aww... None? - Nah, I can completely understand why mate but I agree; that'd definitely be the Aussie Alternity Megatron for sure!

Ok fellas, here is the motor

5.0 litre FPV 'Coyote' supercharged engine. On the left of the pic - look at the air intake. I will get a K&N Pod soon.




Here are some close up pics. I love how it has POWERED BY FPV



Also the thing in the middle - its the supercharger

very nice indeed mate, my gf and i almost bought a GT-P last year but decided against it and got an SS instead, little disapointed now i dont like the SS much.

The motor looks nice and tidy, sexy indeed.
