Default GT-HO features/extras

If the GT-HO lands in 1-2 years what sort things would it have on it?

I would like to see the car more track forcused. We all know the motor and brakes will be good but what small things would you like to see?

1. Has anchor points for 6 point harness. FPV 6 point clip in harness is an optional extra.

2. Optional fire extinguisher

3. Comes standard with full data logging (acceleromoters, GPS, throttle and brake sensors) and inbuilt video camera. Get home from the track, remove your SD card and watch the action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmHg9aS63Ng

4. Optional set of extra rims with semi-slicks

5. Standard with fully adjustable suspension.

both ford and FPV have both stated that they will not be making a gt-ho as the name is to sacred

this would have to be thread number 25000 on the topic

Ok, GT-H then. Hell, call it a GT-Jason.

I guess what I was interested in, is whether there are people out there that would like a more track focussed street car from FPV.

Sorry about writing GT-HO for the millionith time.

If I was in the market for a new car I would be for sure. I'm over 1/4 mile times, and power figures. It would be nice to see a circuit focused FPV, or HSV for a change.

Sounds like a great idea to me too. Bring on a track version. How about optional roll cage.

Would also help to answer criticism from all the wowsers who say "You shouldn't make such powerful and fast road cars". Standard answer from FPV then becomes "Its designed for performance on the track, and safety on the road getting to the track!"
