I like it. It's a good answer to the GTO. The only thing I don’t like about it is the weight .... 1795 kgs / 3957 lbs :crazyeyes:
Damn the thing is a freakin tank!! It is even heavier than the GTO which was already too heavy!

Looks sexy, i think Ford should bring it over as a Answer to the upcoming SRT-6 from dodge. I see it uses the Triton V-8 thats fucking crazy.
