what would I prefer to own?? Well, since nothing specific on the topic has been listed, how about all the oil fields in Saudi Arabia.... That would be nice to own!!
Oh, and a nice gold teapot! As for cars.. if it was only one.. the DB9 would probably get my coin for the sheer style of it!

out of that list I said BF GTP
Power, nicer interior, wheels and the 6 speed auto. If you are getting a manual I see no point in getting a BF if performance is your goal. EDIT: talking about the 4v

I had to go with the F6 typhoon manual, Love my 6's and while the auto would be better for the quater I reckon the manual would be more fun all round.

out of the above a hard decision between the Phoon Manual and the HSV Clubby Manual. In end bias took charge and went for the phoon. GT is just not even close for consideration.

Would have gone with a Typhoon, but i've heard bad things about them, so a BF GT-P for me.
(Manual goes without saying.) |

Performance issues, quality issues, reliability issues...obviously if I was in the market for a new FPV i'd do some research on my own, go for test drives etc, but i'm not so i'll just go off the word of a mate for now.

Off the poll list, GT-P auto. (assuming its choice only, not what you can afford or think is good value etc)
Not on the poll list, new Ford GT (GT 40)

I would go a BF F6 auto. Reason is that they're a sexy beast, I would swap my AU in a heartbeat if I had the money.

As for me, it would be a BF F6 Auto with 6 Pot Brembos, 19"s and definately Mercury Silver in Colour. That would be halfa stealth Fighter.

BF FPV F6 Typhoon auto. It's easily the fastest of the lot. Not only that, it's also easiest to make even faster. I'll take one in Shockwave or Vixen thanks.

Money no object, the BF GTP auto. In reality the BF F6 auto. Got a Mk2 GT manual already..lol
Reason for the BF GTP-auto: Top of the range with all best performance and creature comfort gear included. May not be the fastest but with the 6 speed auto and an 'enhanced' BOSS v8 it's going to seriously boogy. Fast enough for what I want it for anyway. If paying for it on my tab, the F6 auto would be my next best choice.

All those cars are a little to "out there" for me. If I was spending that sort of cash I would buy a Black XR6 turbo with the six speed auto leather and all the goodies, get an edit and take the badges off.
