If the General was crazy enough to have a luxury coupe blow away it's flagship sportscar...

 

isnt that the aussie monaco headed to our shores packing an LS1? i guess they threw a 427 in there for "sh*ts and giggles" eh?

 

427 = (thats 7.0 liters for those of you who can't figure that out hehe)

 

Man! I wish I were more financially successful.

How am I supposed to choose from all the sweet vehicles that are coming out in the near future? This is going to be a real test of my sanity. I want them all!

 

So what exactly is it?

427?? everyone is saying cubic inches but i doubt whatever it is that it has a 427.

maybye (4) litre (2) dual exhaust (7) speed who knows

Anybody ?

 

could that be the "new" GTO

 

Maybye.. the way the front grille flairs out and up is sort of pontiac like.

Looks european though.

Bring it on baby, Ford's already got a new 427

The modern version of the Ford 427 concept’s power plant started off as a cloak and dagger “skunk works” project commissioned by Theodore, who wanted to know if it was feasible to craft an all-new, lightweight 427 cubic inch (7.0-liter) engine out of Ford’s highly flexible modular V-8 engine family. Ford’s Powertrain Research & Development answered the call and began working under the radar screen on a limited budget. The result shocked everyone.

The 427 engine produces a tremendous 590 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 509 foot-pounds of torque at 5500 rpm. Remarkably, the engine is almost 70 pounds lighter than the 5.4-liter 32-valve Cobra R engine from the Ford Mustang. The 427 achieves this astonishing power-to-weight ratio through the following attributes:

Siamese bore aluminum V-10 engine block based on Ford’s modular V-8 DOHC engines
Ford-pioneered metal spray process to maximize the bore at 95mm
Newly designed lightweight forged aluminum pistons with a very short compression height
Aluminum cylinder head derived from the SVT Cobra R Mustang
New billet H-beam connecting rods and billet steel common pin crankshaft for increased strength without the need for a balance shaft
Lightweight hollow stem valves

 

Oh come on Sal, ten cylinders is cheating! you're not playing fair!!!
