This new GT seems to pay homage to Falcons past with stripes/spoilers and a monster engine . . . .

mad max movies used Falcons with a customized van front grille. I think a few mods on this car would make it something I would be interested in.

Actually now that I look at the numbers, it's not that fast. 0-60 mph = 5.4 seconds. That's pretty slow for a 450 hp sedan.

Taurus SHO would kick his butt on the dragstrip.

450hp my @$$. i was looking at the FPV F6 and i think its nice to see there's some inline 6's that are still being made and produced in the world. that engine (let alone the car) more than likely wont ever be sold here in the states but its nice to see the inline 6 is still alive...just thought id say that. on another note that FPV GT sounds very sweet.

Ugly, heavy, and underpowered for a car w/ a blower.

I'm not a fan of it myself, but the HP numbers on that car are very underrated.

Pics to come later

Not bad considering the tyres on these are 245 Dunlops.

It's actually measuring ~450rwhp. Add about 20% for actual flywheel hp, so it's closer to 550hp.

It reeled off 331rwkw, then 329.3 then 328.2 all back to back.
