I hate to rub it in...
But I will anyway, I have driven one of these, and they FLY...
Extremely impressive cars, I am thinking of selling my GT-P Falocn for one.
I have also seen one dynoed to the magic 1000hp, with the stock block, heads etc.
Maybe it might be time to get rid of the V8, but not yet anyway...

Yep Detroit and Windsor need to wake up and smell the Vegemite!

Yeah the 500 would have been decent 6 years ago. BigF350 rub it in, I'm already jealous I saw an AU Falcon tooling around Dearborn earlier this year, can't understand why they can't bring it here. GM already has the Monaro here.

Well you guys may want those Aussie cars for their horsepower.....but I want them for that cool 2.5 lt Diesel. I know this has been talked over to death but why the hell can't we get that engine in an escape or ranger......
