It would certainly show that Ford/FPV doesn't take themselves too seriously.However, whatever it is called I'm sure that some of us will hate it and others will love it.

I.e Ford Falcon Peregrine? Considering the rest of the range Falcon GT and Falcon XR6 Turbo. I like something simple like FPV Falcon T6.
