Hey I just got back from Australia and seen some different Ford vehicles. The one that looks like it’s supposed to be the Australian version of a stang is the Ford Falcon. I'm not too impressed by it as far as looks, but I'm going to goggle it and check it out more. Here is a pic of the Falcon I'm not sure if they have Stangs there.

Yeah they had a Cyclone about 60 miles north of where we were staying. Made the boat trip out to the Great Barrier Reef rough for many people.

Hmm, I think it looks pretty cool.

Recognize anything?

Now, obviously these are performance models but they still look pretty cool.
That last one uses a Boss 290 engine to produce 389 HP and 384 lb-ft of torque.

That "ugly" thing could blow the stang right off the road. Even better is the 4.0 inline 6 turbo version. Look up the stats on the FPV (sorta like the Aussie SVT, but better) versions of that car. It is a monster. Luxury, power, handling. It makes me sick that we cant get it here, but at 75k, i dont think it would sell too well.

You didn't say gt, you said cobra. Plus that car was like 45,000 if i remember correctly from the last topic on this car. Not saying there not nice cars, but it wouldn't wax a cobra. Plus wax entails one kicking the crap out of the other. The boss 290 falcon is the eqivilent to the cobra here.

Personally I think the 500 is a great car, it just needs some more umph.

I also wouldn't be sad if this replaced the Taurus. In my opinion the Taurus has just overstayed its welcome.

The Taurus has a replacement, the Fusion.
