When and where is Ford actually doing a formal release?
The car would have to be shown in full before the release. We can see the 2015 Mustang now for example.

Not to mention the XR8 will be using torque tags if this is the case, where they might as well run the 315 motor. Why not let it take the fight to SSV and be remembered as one of the quickest V8s?

The current 335 GT only runs 245's????
The XR8 will be quick.

Yes why would they if the 310kw F6 engine will not carry over to new Falcon?

Yep FPV GT & GS both only run "19” x 8.0 alloy wheel fitted with 245/35ZR19" - not the best solution to optimize traction on these cars.
Personally, I would rather go down to a 18 x 9" Rim with a 275 x 35 tyre (same overall diameter of 653mm) |

Nice effort, however I MUCH prefer the more aerodynamic nose of our Falcon to the S550 Mustang. |
