Nothing wrong with the front standard brembo brakes. Why go wilwood brake, when all you need is to upgrade the disc brakes saving $$$$$

I think it’s fantastic value for money. 727hp and the whole package - suspension/motor/wheels/tyres/exhaust etc. It’s all put together by the professionals and comes with a factory warranty. It represents a great moment in Bathurst history. The stance is just beautiful.
Personally I’d be tempted to just go plain black - but it sorta defeats the purpose. I suppose you could ask em ‘just leave the stickers in the boot’
You can opt out of the stickers.

Beautiful machine I say. Can only imagine the overtaking power in this thing.

Totally agree with Mercury re the B series Cobra.

Was comparing what you could have for 130k when it was compared to xr8

I wouldnt go as far as saying its great value for money. Its alot of money ontop of a mustang purchase. You are paying for the allan moffat name tag.

Its more suited to an emotional buyer. A Ford Emotional buyer.

Yes that’s the entire idea and there would be a huge amount of emotional buyers out there that love V8s, love Bathurst, love Mustangs, love Moffat and huge muscle car performance, this represents all that with a limited run of 77. Even without the optional sticker pack it would appeal to many down the track if you wanted to move it. You can get them to build it with no stickers - it will still be a Moffat special. The way I see it is the Moffat name is just a bonus. You could spend 120/130000 on a lot worse......or probably not much less to customise your own and lose a lot of money down the track because it’s just a personal one off modified Mustang - no big deal.

Look at NASCAR legend Richard Petty. He did the same thing with a limited run of Stangs (43) that were customised and running less hp (670). They would be an emotional buy also but the customer is still getting a lot of performance for their money. I didn’t like his colour scheme, I thought it was absolutely hideous, even with the sticker pack the Moffat special looks much better.

I’d love an M2/M3, but give me the option of driving an M2/3 and the Moffat Mustang from Victoria to Cairns and I’d take the Stang any day - cheers

Hate to spoil your theory but the entire reason for GT, GS, XR etc, is emotion. Otherwise we would all drive nameless beige cars.

So when you take off from the lights does everyone else have to hold back and let you cross the line first😂

[solarite_guy]

What's your point?

Childhood dream of owning my own GT.

Haha!

I didn't realise the auto correct changed what I typed a little bit! Then, couldn't edit. I couldn't resist picking up on the Futura!

The lines between the various models in the range become blurred over time.

All the best.

^^^ I have noticed that in the Pits!! I think the team has moved on from last week, Scotty made a couple of mistakes but he's young and will learn.
