Kinda like a Fiesta replacing a Territory, completely different car.

Change thread to first Mustang ever after the last Mustangs in 2000 were a flop.

Thats because they cost $75K, back in the early 2000s.

Yeah, continually flogging out rear end bushes is a great piece of work.

I don't get why people are flogging the f6. No one likes it when a turbo fan hijacks an 8 thread so why hijack this one?

The f6 is a good car for the money, mustang is different!

F6 Has proven itself here in australia...........mustang has not. No point raving about a car that hasn't even been released here, when the last one that tried failed hard for more reasons than just its price imo.

Its a real shame the typhoon isn't getting a send off like the GT

Apples and Oranges, comparing them is pointless.

Also even if they are the best car ever made there will always be people that just prefer the F6.

Are 'Australian conditions' even a thing anymore? I know they're rough as guts, but what challenges do Australian roads present that other countries roads don't? I don't think people buy performance V8's to flog down dirt roads, anymore...

If anything, the Occasional clunking of the ZF, and the low-profile-tyred 19's made the F6 feel like it was gonna shake itself to bits on most of the Aussie roads I've driven, whereas other cars felt fine.
