Tell me again why Ford won't bring these cars over here.

[icd_rob]

Because they are ugly 4 doors.

That is more than likely faster than your GT Mustang. :-D

 

[JD03Cobra]

I find those very ugly...I'm pissed that motor isn't an offering in the SHO!!!!!!!!!

Xtreme Ford Tuning, a customer of mine builds some of the nastiest Fords in Australia.

There's the link to look at them new, top models would cost just over 60k bucks and they interiors aren't much better than normal Fords. So its a rather hard sell against a CTSv and other cars in the class. then you have emissions, LHD conversion, crash ratings, import taxes, parts availability and more. Ive been researching FPV for years and if I have the cash ill be trying to import something decent with the 25yr ban lift. The factory blown coyote is REALLY underpowered there but they do mod them of course. What they have against strapping cars down ill never understand...I see a lot of dyno vids from down under where they just chock the wheels.

one word why we cant have these.....Obama

Here comes the ignorance train and it's headed straight for you.

I don't know about ugly, I'm not a four door fan but I could drive these. Both belong to another customer/friend in Australia, his user name here is Cat600.

Because they are the same size as the Fusion and would hurt Mustang and Fusion sales.

I think big part of it is that they're a much less litigious society, I was watching some videos from Xtreme and it does appear they strap them down although I don't know if they do it on every car.

No reason to wait 25 years with guys like this that import them as parts and re-assemble/ convert them for US sales in Denver, CO. In the article it says that he also does Fords.

Is it just me or is there some serious turbo barking going on in that video (air rushing backwards through the turbo due to lack of BOV) sounds just like my modded Cummins when I let off under boost. "choo, choo, cheww, cheww, cheww,cheww"

I have a durable aftermarket turbo that can stand up to the abuse of barking because diesels dont run BOV's due to them not having throttle blades that can close or vacuum to actuated a BOV.

Turns out Blow Off Valves are illegal in Australia.

Cause it looks like a GTO...kinda. Definitely puts down the power though...

 

[Derek@Lethal]

The cars are cool, would definitely open up a new market over here if they ever come over. One thing is for sure, that ENGINE needs to come here STAT!

GM's 2004-2006 GTO is an Australian Holden Monero. That's why it looks like it.
