why ford wil never succeed

not a cougar but it is a ford falcon from autralia(the cougar badging is a photoshop) its a
- Turbo-charged 4.0-litre DOHC 24 valve six cylinder
- FPV high volume air to air intercooler
- Maximum Power: 270 kW (362.08 hp) @ 5,250rpm
- Maximum Torque: 550Nm (405.60) @ 2,000 to 4,250rpm
- FPV air box with dual ram air intakes
- FPV heavy duty valve springs
- FPV high strength conrods
- FPV oil cooler
- FPV engine management system

if they brought this over here it would completly take out the mustang and give the cobra a run for its money. but then again its ford and they dont want to threaten the mustang. even if it would sell better.

Aside from the viper, they don't have a coupe, this actually makes more sense than a charger and magnum, I'd picture them replacing one or the other with this if they aren't going to have all three variants rather than not making this.......

Somebody's got to compete with the mustang, we all know GM doesn't have the balls right now

The GTO and Charger fall short of the mustang because they are bigger, 4 doors, more expensive, and slower. The GTO is by far NOT one of the best looking cars made recently because it looks like every other car GM makes. THAT is missing the boat.
those mustangs arnet slow hahahaha thats is almost the funniest thing i ever heard. and they are ugly.

it seems like you dont want me to have an opinion other than yours,(it must be cause your a mod).

you dont get crankwalk with a six bolt but im sure you know that, and who is "you guys"? also do you know what causes crankwalk? i do. also who is "most people"?

he would need a tissue because it sounded like what i said hit a nerve.

as far as the gto and charger falling short in your above catagories, we were talkin looks. oh and you show me which new mustang comes with 425hp (srt8 charger) stock? im not sure of all mustangs models but i dont think one comes with that much. why would you say they are faster they are not. mabey base model to base model...charger to stang but not base models of the 04 gto(wich is the slowest of the motors from the new gto). well i and probly most people would disagree with you about the looks of the gto.

but hey your a mod and we know what that means, so lets just agree to disagree.
