Let’s compare how Ford revealed today in on the packages on Holden’s HSV. Currently the Clubsport R8 is HSV’s a good amount of high-performance sedan, and it is powered by an LS3 6.2L V8 providing 425 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. Ford has relatively significantly matched HSV in the motor department then, and the new Falcon looks as if it’s like it would weigh moderated to boot. But HSV dwindled a bomb at the Melbourne Motor Show named the HSV W427, that is a version of the Clubsport R8 powered by GM’s LS7 V8 initiating 496 horses and 472 pound feet of torque.

The 9 millionth Mustang rolls off the assembly line
Written by admin on May 10, 2008 – 3:55 pm -
The Mustang passed yet another landmark less than a week after its 44th anniversary on April 17 when production reached nine million units. The milestone Mustang, a GT Convertible, went to a dealership in Iowa for delivery to its lucky customer. As Ford’s longest running nameplate, the Mustang had one of the best starts of any production car with over 22,000 sold on the first day and more than one million sold in the first two years. It’s had its ups and down over the past 40+ years, but it’s safe to say that the Mustang has enjoyed an upswing in popularity since its retro-restyle a few years back.

KEY FOR-D-GT kit fixes Ford supercar’s only fault
Written by admin on May 9, 2008 – 4:31 am -
The Ford GT is on the short list of coolest cars in the 21st century, with up to 600 horsepower, killer retro looks, and Ferrari F430-beating athleticism. Buyers were more than happy to accept a limited edition Ford supercar, but many owners were less than thrilled with Ford’s corporate key and fob. While it sounds a bit petty, sharing a key with an F-150 just doesn’t scream exotic track star.
The creative key kit crafters over at ExotiCARe have remedied the situation with a limited edition kit that turns your pedestrian keys into a car starter worthy of a Ford GT. The easy to install kit is nothing more than silver-finish covers for your existing keys, which doesn’t exactly seem like $295 well-spent, but for those who can afford a $175,000 sports car it may be a deal. ExotiCARe is only making 350 of the kits, so there is an exclusivity factor, as well. Is $295 too much for nothing more than key decoration that you have to assemble yourself? You tell us after the jump. Thanks for the tip, Andrew!
