It really does look sweet. I doubt it'd come over here though, unless they adapt whatever chassis that is into our plants. They use pretty much totally different designs over there. What's funny too is they use names like Fairlane, Fairmont, and others which we haven't had since the 60s or 70s...

Well, depending if/when the pontiac GTO comes over (a re-badged holden), for may be forced to release it here! muahahaha... A guy can dream, can't he? :D It's like a mini-M5!

Yeah, when I first glanced at the pic, the skyline came to mind. It looks more like a skyline+MSP mixed to me, rather than an RSX.

the car is the Ford Falcon

http://www.newfalcon.com.au/

it's not a small car. the base model comes with a 4.0L. A 4.0L turbo looks like fun.

I just played Need for speed hot pursuit 2 this weekend, good game, and I think this car is in it :nod:

The car looks good, only because it looks so much like are protege's hmmm! I wonder where they came up with that idea..? I'm sorry ford blows and I wish they never bought Mazda out. All of Mazda cars are well designed and ford keeps on taking. I love you Mazda!

redrims December-9th-2002 06:01 PM

Reking, I still really want to see your MX-3.:blue:

Sir Nuke December-9th-2002 10:16 PM

well that figures...the aussies get all the good stuff....lol...not only does that sucker look good...it will certainly kick some ass....did you guys look at the engine it comes with?

not only a V-8....BUT A DOUBLE OVER HEAD CAME V-8! and it puts out 389 Hp, and 383 ft-lbs or torque!!!

I LIKE....even if it does have a ford badge on it!

No a quad came V8 and i think the lights look like a rsx the grile and hood remind me of a new mustang and bumper looks like a mp3/ms pro ...Jon

funkdaddysmack December-10th-2002 07:48 AM

Is it a 5.4l or something? The 4.6l in the mustang is DOHC (I think) and doesn't put out near that much power without the SC like on the Cobra SVT.

reking December-10th-2002 08:14 AM

Yea, and when they put this car in the US will ineffable to the public, because of the horsepower and it being a V8. They will make the car slower before it gets here anyway. To Redrims, you will get to see my car if you come to are next meet, I promise.:p
