Zeus 310 Member 4 Member For: 11y 4m 9d Posted 16/07/13 07:43 AM Share Posted 16/07/13 07:43 AM According to drive .com the FPV range will come to an end in 2014replacing the GT with an xr8 335sc and other GT gear.This is a very sad day for ford if this comes to fruition. They could have gone out with a bang bringing out the GT HO to blow Expensive Daewoo and hsv into the abyss forever , COME ON FORD LIMITED EDITION GT HO 490 KW PLEASE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 16y 11m 19d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 16/07/13 08:37 AM Share Posted 16/07/13 08:37 AM (edited) First thing I thought, those RSpecs will be the ones I'd like to keep.White or blue with black stripes I think I decided on. Not that I'm buying, much like the rest of Aus...hahaha:(Further info from that article:Beyond 2016, Ford will then replace the outgoing Falcon with a global product line-up which includes two variants of an all-new Mustang coupe currently under development. The entry-level pony car will be powered by a twin-turbo V6, priced from about $40,000, while the flagship will be a V8 coupe priced from about $60,000. Our source also indicated the next-generation Mustang will not be built with supercharged powerplants, thereby eliminating the likes of high-powered Shelby models in the future.

Black_S15 Member 90 Member For: 14y 9m 2d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 16/07/13 02:32 PM Share Posted 16/07/13 02:32 PM more sad news for our beloved blue oval :(unfortunately the 5.8L 492 kw engine from the shelby gt500 will never make it into a falcon...even something with low 400s would be great. GTHO phase 5 would be awesome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
