[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 14123078, member: 79484"] Okay for all of you saying "oh this would take away sales from the mustang", thats like saying the new chevy SS will steal sales from the camaro. Who the hell would cross shop a 2 door pony car with a 4 door sedan. One or the other for different needs! Secondly, FPV sells a version with a supercharged coyote 5.0. The inline 6 is the base engine in the FPV line up. I have no idea why, I think its for insurance reasons because Australia has some really whack ass laws but the coyote 5.0 with a 1900TVS on it is officially rated for 449hp and 420tq and I'm pretty sure those are not at the wheels. The car which weighs 4140lbs is good for a 0-60 of 4.5 and 1/4 mile in 12.9 which puts it on par with a coyote GT.

When GM brought the GTO over they had to redesign the location of the gas tank due to crash regulations. Thats why the GTO has such a small trunk compared to the monaro, IIRC the tank is up and behind the axle vs under the trunk on a monaro. Fourth, GM tried twice and failed twice at selling Australian variants here. Why would Ford look at that and go "Hmm, this seems like a sound business plan!" The new SS is going to be moved to the states once holden production is no more. Just my 2C worth... [/QUOTE]
