No love for the Aussie only Stang? Hmmmm

If an approximately 700-horsepower Mustang rings Shelby GT500 alarm bells, then you were thinking the same way as us — the GT500 makes even more at 760 horsepower with a different engine. This Mustang is no Australian-spec GT500 from any angle. Instead, it’s a Mustang GT with a 5.0-liter V8 that’s been littered with Ford Performance parts and received a working over by Australian tuner Herrod Performance.

Herrod performance sounds much like a down under counterpart to Roush here?

Oh..non response is partially because I left the church.

Thanks, but no thanks, I'll take a 15-17 GT with an AMERICAN MUSCLE twin turbo "Hellion" kit for more HP, and less $$.

You're comparing USA car price with Aussie car price. We have it good tax & fee wise compared to the poor folks down under.

Peter, if you want it, do it. I would advise proceeding carefully with the massive torque and power though. I'm sure you have the maturity to handle it, but there will be quite a learning curve.

I was collecting a car from a panel shop recently. There was a Mustang on the floor. It had had a minor tap to the large rear large quarter panel. Full roof off (glue in roof) repair. The shop owner spent some time expaining and showing me why he thought the Mustang was a cheaply made POS.

They do sound good though.

Paul we get all the Roush mods from Ford here in NZ RHD Mustangs as well. The non response is IMO due to the yawn factor of the vehicle. Not saying it’s boring, but basically Ford AU has enlisted a local tuner to slap a supercharger on a brightly painted new car. It’s no GT 500 or better yet GT350 (my preference). Yes, you left the Church a long time ago via Istanbul. But you still keep turning up here at Pelican every Sunday.
