    And ill be getting the turbo one as well...
    I hope for you they do.
    But only the GT 500 would interest me. Approx $36 in the States a year and a bit ago when I looked. I am sure then there are options, but if the had a GT500 here for $45k I would be straight down to the dealer.
    Keeping my OPC though

    I don't think the four banger would be that bad. Seems like it's got a decent amount of power and it might result in a Mustang that actually handles. Having said that, at least they're using the NA version of the V8. Nothing against the FPV version of the engine, but you'd think an engine that came out at 307kw in stock form would've translated into a fair amount more than the 315-335kw with a blower attached.

    I'm guessing if they do a GT500 or some other limited edition, it'll be supercharged and make some ridiculous amount of power that'll have the Greens up in arms everytime one is started up.

    It'll also poses the question to GM, if Ford can sell the Mustang in every corner of the world, why not do the same with the Camaro? Oh wait, that's right. GM don't believe there's a market for anywhere else in the world for anything other crappy Korean-built econoboxes.

    Thats one of the reasons why I like the four banger. Plenty of poke and room for good subtle upgrades. Yes the v8 is what heaps of people want, but peraonally a boosted 4 spunding like a jet taking off past other v8s out there wouod put a smile on my dial... :-D

    As much as I like the old and even the new Charger, still I'm one of those who believes a Charger should be a 2 door, not that I'd complain if it were sold here. Don't know if you've seen it Theo, but there's a white Challenger getting around Adelaide with black striping. That's one car that looks awesome in pics, but even more so in the flesh. I've seen it parked in the western end of Sturt Street, as well as around Brompton and West Thebarton.

    GT500 not confirmed. Only speculated
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
