Whilst having a coffee with the fellows , the topic of the Falcon and its survival was raised ... Surely with $103m injected into Ford Aust - $34m by the Aust government and the balance - $69m by its American parent , Would it be possible that we may see the end of the Falcon ?. Interesting , the the thread around the table was 'who cares if Falcon dies , just as long as Aust get the new 493kw , 322km/hr Shelby Mustang GT500 '. Further , what made the topic heated , was the learning that Ford were recently in Detroit testing the new Mustang Is it possible , that the Falcon will die in Aust , and we will see the Mustang delivered to our shores to replace the FPV ?? Earlier, there were some threads - suggesting once HSV deliver their supercharged V8, with its improved chassis - many we move across from FPV to HSV - I personally can't that !!! So , with parts remaining a issue in Aust with the failure of Autodom - could it possible that Ford - will remain a player in the commuter market - and Ford America will support what we knew as FPV into Aust ? Further , is it possible that Ford America could deliver a 493kw Mustang into the Aust market for the price or better than we are being asked to pay for the current RSpec ? (**Currently importers are asking $150k+ for current model Shelby Mustang's - is it possible that a 380kw + car from the states could be landed into Aust for around $80k or better ?**) Your thoughts are welcomed P.S.... Ford Aust told me over the weekend - if I placed a order on a GT with SatNav - I would not expect to see the car until April/May 2013 - so I decided to hold on to my deposit until 2013 - and see the land lies until the dusk settles
