Why are they cutting it?!? Those and the Holdens are so bad ass to watch race in the Australian V8 series.

The supercharged Coyote only makes 30 more HP than the N/A US version? The fuck?

Isn't it more like 50 HP? Unless they are using the BOSS Coyote???

Perhaps they botched the power conversion from kW to HP? God I hope so!

Nope, it is correct. I think the advantage is the torque. It only makes slightly more toque that the N/A Coyote in the Mustang GT. 420fwtq in the Falcon GT and 390fwtq in the Mustang. But the torque peak carries from like 2200 to something like 5500 rpm with the supercharged engine. That has to be helpful in the heavier Falcon.

Plus I am sure the aftermarket has their way with that motor. With intake, pulleys, tunes and so on.


I also thought a year or two ago Ford was talking about possibly bringing some of the Australian line up here to the US. Or maybe I am wrong and GM was thinking of doing it again. You know, because it worked so well for them with the GTO. :rollpicard: I honestly can't remember. lol

Ford's all about the global platforms now, so unless they decide to mass produce the Australian RWD chassis around the world, I wouldn't count on it...

Bringing the chassis around to the US and using it to underpin a new RWD Continental though....

Probably because Ford is pulling production out of Australia.
