[QUOTE="aussie tex, post: 11248997, member: 128570"] ^^^^^^^^^ Hahahahahaha ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ very good! The Superoo monica was meant for the original Falcon GT's - the [I]original [/I]Aussie muscle cars, XW, XY etc.... In their day, they were the fastest 4 door cars in the world! Thumping great 5.8lt Clevos pumping over 350 horses, through a 3 speed auto although most were spec'd with the 4 speed top loaders, the nine inch diff and 14 inch cross ply tyres. 140mph was achievable, and in cars fitted with the factory optioned taller gears, even more top speed was there if you were game! Built for a population of around 10 million in a country with vast lengths of highway that were unpoliced. It wasn't unusual to drive for a day without seeing anyone else! true. Then there was the supercar scare which ended it all..... until the last 15 years or so, when Ford / Tickford / Ford Performance vehicles decided to have another go at performance orientated full sized sedans. Ford Australia now produces the FPV GT, and the FPV F6, both 12 second cars in stock form. The current GT is a blown Coyote, blower by Harrop Australia, and it makes over 400hp at the bags in stock form. Now-a-days the population is 20 mill, and the roads are crawling with speed detecting police, infested by speed cameras to turn an otherwsie good day into a dud. Quite ironic really, we've now got cars that handle and stop, but no roads to use them on. [/QUOTE]
