I fixed up the "slug" reputation of the Boss 290 in my Mk.2 BF GT-P by fitting a supercharger. At the moment with 12psi it doesn't feel sluggy anymore... Oil pump gears, cams, boost and 500kw later, it has the power to match the handling and braking and feels like the car FPV should have built. They were 3/4 of the way there with the GT-P handling, braking and luxury options. They should have added boost because this thing is phenomenal to drive now.

You are 100% Correct Excellent review I bought my 2005 Menace GT-P from new and drove it for 4 years then put it in the back shed. I’ve have had several cars since including a 2009 HSV GTS, 2015 Jeep Hemi, 2017 Mustang GT and the GT-P is still my first love. It’s just a damn fine car to drive and always makes me smile when I take her out. Having said that the Mustang GT is a close second

You nailed it, a great cruising car. My BA GT-P is a really nice car to just do a heap of miles in, 226000ks on her now. It's standard, Blueprunt blue, the big brake package, premium sound etc. I was thinking about selling it but I can't bring myself to do it. I have a genuine BF Super Pursuit engine (115000k ) in it at the moment, until i can afford to rebuild the original. Didn't blow her up, just wanted a fresh engine to go with the fresh paint, NOS wheels, NOS roof liner, NOS fog and headlights. Love walking out to the shed just to wipe her over and keep it clean. Great review again Ross.

I own a BA XR8 Boss260 with the 4spd BTR ION transmission, I've never driven a ZF backed Boss motor but I imagine it would be an improvement over the BTR, especially if you were to whack in some 3:23/3:46 diff gears instead of the standard ZF backed super tall 2:7's. I also own an supercharged 5L Miami powered FPV GS and to be totally honest I prefer the sound of the Boss motor through a set of xforce pipes than the Miami through same, the deep roar of the Boss motor and it's quad cams are pretty unique sounding. Cheers 🍻

The FG has a chubby butt I have never abided and those in board headlights are stupid. The owners are complete tools most of the time, I give them a wide berth on the road as I just know they'll likely do something stupid and I'm rarely disappointed. I like the BF II and III standard Falcon fronts myself and am partial to the standard first BF front as well. The revised bumper improved their looks.

These cars look better with the black gt stripe down the sides. Iv got a Ba GT with every factory extra which came to about 12000 extra back in the day. Minus the brembos. With a whipple supercharger that sits under the plenum to give a stock look. And boy does' she get up and go considering the s/c with intercooler weighs around 60 kg. She goes from 80 to 180 in 7 seconds every time. I am pretty happy with that considering it's just the underrated BTR 4 speed. And she's just coming out of second with two gears still left.

Ross You know the Only difference with the last 2008 GT Vs GT-P was the GT-P had brembo back brakes. I have the GT and me friend has the GT-P. We both bought them new in 2008. They have the rare Boss 302 Motor, Same bucket seats, the same interior finish same suspension components. Only difference rear brakes. we all know that 75 to 80% of performance braking is done from the front brake setup. I think this was a FPV thing to place all the good things in the GT as they where making room for the FG Series. So when you think about it the 2008 BF GT owners got more stuff for the same price Vs The GT-P owners.

@thepetrifiedbard1646 3 жыл бұрын

If you want an argument in order to negotiate for lower, know that the reason bf mk2’s are quite a jump in price over the mk1’s are mostly because of the turbo 6 engine having stronger internals not the v8 so the price should be closer to prior gen xr8’s around the 10-11 grand mark also k’s are relatively high but depends where it was driven

You are missing the point the GTP is a Fairmont compared to a GT which would be a Falcon. Same car - different trim specifications.

@mrt-gt 3 жыл бұрын

The GT falcons have always had better interior than a base model falcon. The earlier XR-XY series GT falcons had fairmont interior as standard. The FPV series falcon GT'/ GT-P had distinctive (and unique to FPV only) cloth based interior as standard, or leather as an upgrade. Force 8/& later FG GT-E/ models came standard with Fairmont Ghia/ FG G6-E interior appointments, including red leather as a no cost option to the standard black leather for a limited range of exterior colours. In a word they are all "GreaT"

I suppose it depends on what you're after. If you want a drag racer, buy a Golf R or a WRX, ie something with AWD that just grips and goes. If you want a comfortable GT car that will cross vast Australian distances without so much as breaking a sweat, get a Falcon V8.
