Nope, they are still going strong. They've got some cars down here that you blokes would love up there. The Falcon XR8 and XR6 Turbo ar both great and we've got a whole raft of hotter versions from Ford Performance Vehicles. V8 Supercars dominate the racing on TV and that's just a big battle between Ford and Holden with masses of followers on both sides.

You guys are getting the Pontiac G8 next year which is the Holden Commodore SS with Pontiac badges on it.

Ford Australia power the XR8 with a quad cam version of the 5.4 in the Lightning pickup. The quad cam heads (derived from the 4.6 Cobra motor) make this an extremely wide motor and a real challenge to squeeze into a Cobra. There are a few getting built but it's hard work.

Cheers
