No idea, always wondered the same thing. My guess is that GM's Chevy/Vauxhall brand has so many "hot" cars down there, that Ford has to have something to compete with. Maybe with Ford's new "One Ford" for the whole world deal, we might see some these, or they'll just disappear altogether.

...And CAFE, and crash-worthiness testing, and insurance rates....
Face it -you fellers have one of - if not THE laxest - pathetic excuses fer driver edumacation and testing bureaucracies in the known universe. Australia's, fr'instance, is so far advanced in comparison it may as well not be on the same planet.
Seems to me all you jokers need to be able to demonstrate is not dropping the booger you just picked while steering with the other hand. Pass!
Is it any wonder then, that the Illuminati would prefer to limit the number of affordable 4-wheeled road missiles available to that sort of ill-prepared indigenous public? Honda Fits are more along the lines of what they recommend you drive.
Yeah - I know all about easy access to sportbikes - but that is going to change as well. And at least when a GSXR1000 hits a bus full of Nuns, the Nuns don't even notice
. And it's only the rider, not a cabin full of his/her buddies that check out.
Simply put - you folks have amply demonstrated that you simply don't qualify for this sort of hardware ...
So - Put away the kleenex, quit the whining and histrionics and go pedal a bicycle. You as a society could assuredly use the exercise, as you are also one of the most obese.

Everything after the first line doesn't apply, MGD. We have 662 HP GT500s, so our fat-a**, ill-prepared citizens have access to things much more dangerous than the Australian cars

Mustang GTs have as much go as most of those cars down there, maybe not as much as those, but I'd bet the FPV cars on that site are all produced in limited quantities and as "affordable" as GT500s. GT500s really aren't that limited and are dirt cheap for as much power as they make. They're plentiful as all get out and my dealership has 10-15 at all times.

I've always maintained that you were amongst the brightest fellers on here.

I didn't realize how crazy some of these cars are, I knew they had these models, just not their SVT versions (FPV). They are nearly all supercharged Boss engines
