There were some v8 SHOs with 32 valves. Those had some serious jump to them. 3.4l v8, 235hp@6100rpm, and 230tq@4800rpm.
You would think Ford would try to bring them here. You'd have to convert to left hand drive and do DOT tests. That is still a fraction of the cost of a ground up R&D project, even using existing parts. I think those cars would do well here. The Ford name turns off a lot of people though. I'd go get a V-6 Falcon for a daily driver, then park the Mustang. If they offered here with a 5.4 and 6spd, I'd trade in my Mustang for it. Pipe dreams though. I doubt Ford would ever bring any of the Aussie cars here. They are probably looking at GM's Holden/GTO experiment.
WEll, the GTO was a performance coupe with the LS2 engine only. Ford Falcon would be a family sedan. 4 door sedan for daily driving with the 3.5L V6(265HP), that's a bigger market than the performance oriented V8 only coupe model that GM offered.
Then, the Falcon has optional V8 for those families looking for performance sedan.
Awesome. Dude, the SHO taurus should come back - imagine an AWD V8 pushing horsepower to compete with the ****ty chrysler offerings and impala SS.
