It's like calling all Australians Queenslanders ) are using the 4.6L in their Mustangs and full size cars, but on the flip-side, you guys are using the 5.4L Truck motor for everything. Only the Shelby GT500's and the old GT used that engine. Looks like bigger is working for you guys too. I'm not looking to become public enemy #1 here, but I felt that finger should be pointed back. Remember, a 4.0L I6 is a f*cking huge straight six turbo. I personally don't think it's a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cars look identical on the outside, other than a striping package and a bigger bulge in the hood. I don't know, up until now I always thought the Falcon got a new update every time you turned around. I remember reading about all these people selling off their XR6T's when the newfangled Auto came out. You guys were raving about it. Did that kill the resale of autos from the year before?

The new FG GT will still get hammered by the Clubbies. Ford should've dumped the V8 and spent 10 the money saved making the turbo 6's sound better and made the f6 320kW, 600Nm.
