I look at those and Bob Lutz must have been thinking the same thing we are with the Monaro.

If they called that Monero an Grand Prix Coupe (instead of GTO) they would have sold out.

Is it close to the same 32 valve 5.4 you could get in the Navigator a few years ago?

Nope. The 32V in the 'Gater was a wussified 300HP engine. So much potential and again, Ford shafted us...
