If your concerned about the fuel price and enviroment then go buy a spiggin toycar er toyota. As for you Ford people stop dreaming and get over it. This is the fastest Australian car ever built and i mean ever !!! Who the hell wants a Falcon 6 pot with a hair dyrer attached to the motor to pump out more power ? Jesus h christ stop whinging you Ford lovers. A muscle car is defined by the big honking V8 under the hood, not a turbo 4 pot rice burner or a Falcon 6 pot with with a hair dyrer on the side of the motor. Watch the GT production races in Australia , how many XR6 turbo Falcons get their asses kicked each race by a standed Commodore SS V8 ? I don't think an XR6 Turbo falcon has won a race yet. Put this the W427 along side the FG FPV F6 at the top of conrod straight at bathurst and wait at the bottom , the W427 will be there long before the FG FPV F6 and atleast 3 car lengths in front !!!

For a big V8 to sell it has to be different. Not sure why it wouldn't be suited to British roads...how big a road do you need? The vxr8 does relatively well because of the price, although it depriciates like hell, nobody will pay £55k for it though....

Get a VX for $20k and put $40k under the hood and your looking at 700kw+, but thats not a stock car. Take the W427, add a twin turbo and you'd be looking at 800kw+... “xr6t is wat $45000new then u take it to nizpro n for $30000 u got 600kw”

When you spend big dollars on a car, Last thing you give a shit about is fuel prices!. If you did you would spend $17,000 on a Yaris. People you are forgetting something important.

It will take power up to 397kW from 307kW. That will make 0-100km time is 4.9 secs! Your lucky because i dont think Australia will get it.

He's a bit confused now but I reckon he is better buying the VXR8 and put on that supercharger conversion. Britian I feel is mainly a 4x4 big car group so it will have to struggle with Range Rover (Good) Porshes chaynne (crap, especially in winter, my 1.2l corsa does better). I do however have a soft spot for big V8! Thank you Australia for taking American engines and making cars that actually go round corners, compared to what America can do!
