I think the wing has to go also. It will only attract nesting birds. Other than that.... it has a blue oval on it so sign me up!!

See you guys don't get it. This is an Australian car. No ricers over there so there isn't the stigma attached to wings that we have over here. With 480ftlbs of torque who gives a poop if you have an extra little bit of drag back there. I can imagine that one actually might improve stability at the 150mph that car is obviously capable of. :D

Over the next few years there are hordes of new RWD cars coming from the Big three. Unfortunately it looks like the Blue Oval is opting to go the econo route with a V6 n/a. Dodge has the new Magnum (that things looks so sweet and with the 5.7 Hemi!), Pontiac and their new GTO, the new Caddies. Many of these cars are going to be based on their Austrailian brotheren. FWIW...it's going to be a great few years for cars. I love my SC and can't wait for more RWD cars with a little elbow room (the Crown Vicki and Marquis don't count, no performance...Maurader excluded).

Looks like they mated an accord rear end with a mustang front. Like Charged92 said, "It has a blue oval on it so sign me up".

I've said this so many times b4... F$%^ING AUSTRAILIANS!! hahaha... they get all the breaks... no speed limits on certain highways... cars for roads w/ no speed limits.... i'd take one of those any day.... but i'd take it home and cut off that wing w/ a hacksaw before i drove around w/ it on....
{EDIT} I like the truck too... its fords Dakota RT: http://www.fpv.com.au/index.asp?link_id=2.185

Heh heh, Australian cars are funny... you get out in the more remote areas like the Northern Territory and all the cars look like something from Mad Max... I wonder if you can order that Ford with bull bars and a snorkel?

What the hell are you talking about? Have you guys watched the vids? The engine is a modified non-blown cobra motor that is very well built. This car is amazing and looks damn good also. Wake up, this car is refined as much as it is a supercar compared to the mustang or our lowly birds. If any of us lived in Australia with that money to buy one, my bet would be there would be one in your garage.

I think, I mean I know, I would rather have one of our "lowly birds" in my garage. This car doesn't do that much for me. It's styling is borrowed, It's engine is borrowed, and its spoiler should be returned. There is nothing about this car that seperates it from the pack. I would rather have a 03 Cobra. This car is the result of a Mustang, BMW, and Accord mating session. Just my opinion, but like I said, I would rather have a 03 Cobra or an 05, yeah that would be better.

I didn't qualify my first answer, hehe. I am currently considering what to *add* to the flock to better accomodate my 3 kids. I would never give up the Cat or the Bird. :D

Actually it's a 5.4L DOHC ;) much like you'd see in a lincoln navigator... (f150's are SOHC) And it sounds awesome :)
