    Might be an adoption of the current focus st motor with different tune. And the focus is no slouch.

    Will be an Ecoboost 2.3L if they do it. ST is only a 2.0
    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....

    Then that's a brilliant entry level model for the new Mustang. The purists can go for tradition whilst those who prefer cheaper tax rates (especially in Europe where V8 drivers get raped!!!) can enjoy a marvellous power unit moulded to an American icon's body. I see this as a winning situation personally. Besides, it's not like they've added a diesel to the line up Click here to enlarge

    I reckon it's fantastic that the Mustang will be landed in Oz !!!

    Should be a great addition to the choice list for car enthusiasts in this Country...

    As for that secret burnout feature, bloody hell the person who came up with that one and then the people who actually made it reality should be buried alive, must be trying to appeal to a 12 year old demogarphic or something which such a stupid thing...totally idiotic.

    Hmmm, maybe GMH can include it in their VF Commodore line up then to get more sales before they shut shop, I'm sure the boguns buying the new super powerful VF GTS would love that feature LOL...

    I got to see and check out 3 x 2013 ford mustang shelby 1000's today, the only 3 in Australia, they look cool and sound awesome plus with a 1000hp they are very quick
    only one problem is the $400,000 price tag which the aust gov get's $100,000 in tax off them each, all of them are at autosmith on the gold coast in QLD
