i am hanging out to see black on black - that pic of gold on black looks alright, certainly not as bad as I thought when I changed to black on black!

I understand your excitement, but don't you know doing hand-stands whilst taking photos is dangerous?

You may have posted the pic upside down, but your timing was spot on!

I totally agree with you. . The only good looking GTF is octane with black stripes.

That's why they also released it in Octane, kinetic and white damo. The smoke and black is more subtle and suits what some people are after, a sleeper.

White is also pretty hot. . Especially with black rims and dark tint. Agree with what you say but I just think a GTF should stand out from other GT's with bold, in your face colors. I'm yet to see kinetic (in the flesh)

The gtf is my daily driver, I have to at least pretend to be respectable. My Ratrod, my blown injected 57 Chev and even the nitro blue gt are little lairy in a corporate environment. I quite enjoy not sticking out to Joe public .

At the fanatic day there was no mistaking the gt's and GTF's, probably helps 5 were octane. Same story at the prodrive day, the Gtf no matter the colour does stand out in real life. The photos don't work well with the contrasting parts especially on the darker colours like kinetic or smoke. They all look hot irl though

I'm not taking the mickey but maybe they should do something that makes them stand out like idk modernised shaker scoop for cold air intake or 2 door coupe or square of the front end a bit more.
A lot of the american muscle cars have kept the origional shape of there iconic cars just modernised them and damn they look good, maybe ford could do the same. Guess i'm just bit old school, hell what do i know i drive a bronco |
