Default Why dont they make Falcons over here!

Just watching the Oz V8 Supercars on MotorsTV and seeing these puppies go round



The ford Falcon F6-Typhoon powere by a 3984cc 24v In-line 6 that produces 362bhp @ 5250rpm and 405lb/ft @ 2000-4250rpm at 0.64bar

or if you dont fancy the saloon, how about pick up with exactly the same spec!

Yeah, seem to remember some of the first typhoons had some brake problems but they were sorted.
Do know for a fact that my v8 falcon is much more tail happy than my 3 door cossie!

Was it the V8 or the turbo 6?
Would be suprised if the 6 didn't give an impressive performance given that some of them are belting out stupid amounts of power in Aus.
Gutted that I missed it anyway.
