[QUOTE="OZ Dude, post: 5606242, member: 24398"] We just had our annual Bathurst 1000 car race and one of the Ford factory backed cars was in the Cobra livery. History repeating itself - the original "iconic" Aussie Cobra of 1977 was a project dreamed up to move the last 300 2 door coupe shells Ford had cluttering up their factory. They painted em white, added the stripes, and called em a hero car. Truth was only 30 of the 300 were the red hot versions, the rest were various configurations of lesser spec right down to a 4.9L 3 speed auto. Funnily enough, the new Ford Falcon is due early next year and here they are finding ways to "clear the decks". It's not a rocketship - more of a good cruiser. The Termi would kick it from one end of the paddock to the other... And as for those who think it lookd like the GTO - of course it does! They're direct competitorsin the same market and we have a history of Ford & Holden (GM) making "same-same". Oh well, I guess it looks pretty :) Oz [/QUOTE]
