Sun, 18 May 2003 07:27 re american/aussies - it happens with both ford and holden Ford for the BA broke away from the traditional " global market " that ford USA have been failing with - just look at the taurus and AU - two very bad examples of trying to stick to USA principals for a global face in OZ .. the BA was pretty much a case of ford os saying Leave us alone to do it RIGHT - and they made the ba - So far US penny pinchers havent allowed for better motors - or engineering steps to shame the US badge - and they have done it in the BA - the crown Victoria is Crap - and the BA is better - a big " we can do it better than the yanks ". People who think falcons are bad should one day drive about in a US crown victoria - youll definantly say the falcon is the better car As for motors - the BA GT 5.4 v8 is a perfect example. Ford Oz went sourcing a new motor for the GT's and were going to use the SVO version of the cobra mustang to plonk in the falcon - Ford USA said - erm No ! so Ford oz went home - and Built a better version by themselves from locally sourced parts! Theres is lucky to pull 270kw - the oz version does 290 +. Now ford USA have tried to take the pats on the back for it as their design ( f150 lightning ute uses basically the same motor ) when it clearly WAS NOT - another reason for ford OZ to be not all that impressed Holden have had the same isues with the monaro - ie Pontiac wanting to make the monaro more ricey - Holden told them to politekly fuck off and leave what was already a good thing alone - so all that was changed was badges and front spoiler . Sorry bout the long rant - but its basically answering the Q mani posted [Report message to a moderator]
