Hmmm

“The Falcon FG-X’s heart, however, is a 5.0-liter V8 supercharged engine that pumps out 449 bhp.”

I hope the torque and powerband are really impressive. The original Roadrunner making 444 bhp naturally makes these claimed SC numbers confusing.

Does homologation limit to <450 bhp?

Granted it only has some semblance to the Mustang, but I applaud Ford for using the Stang theme ,since the Falcon is no longer made Down Under - nor is the Holden by GM. Like Nascar , the body rules dictate the shape and construction of the beast , and going with the Mustang look instead of a more plebeian appearance of GM's Holden ( essentially a Chinese Buick ) is a plus for the Blue Oval fans down under. Love the racing with the Supercars and rank it up there with the very best racing excitement of any Series - just my personal opinion. Rocking the Mustang ,which is dominating sports car sales Worldwide, makes business and racing sense, and though I agree it is a bit ungainly, not much different than Nascar here in the US of A.

Just watched the Supercars Race at Peter Island on CBS Sportsnetwork, and I really need to applaud the Ford Racing Management Team from Down Under. Sure the Mustang Supercar has some Series Mandatory Changes, but after watching all those Holden Chinesedores , er Beijing Buicks, er Commondores ( dang I just can't get it right), I say the Mustang is " Ripper!"

Big fan of Fabian Coulthard and fantastic to see his win at Peter Island!!!

I love this series, some of the best racing going right now, I will say that it is the ugliest iteration of a Mustang so far, actually makes the NASCAR mustangs look good.
