you sure, They aren't going into build until this month. 6 working days is extremely quick for an FPV they usually take 3-4 weeks minimum to build

There are pics of one on a truck and this was taken a while ago! They have also been sighted in dealerships already.

Exactly right. Now how about the thread starter please refrain from calling this suped up taxi a GT 40.

FFS, it’s not a GT 40. It’s a bloody Falcon. When are people going to learn the difference?

It's got special striping.

I agree. Its a black BF GT with gold stripes. Wheels are horrible. Having said that, I'd still have one, but you are right, i don't think it's any different to any other BF GT on the road.
