Hi guys- some info on the Falcons (I'm an Aussie after all!) Standard varieties have a inline six cylinder 4.0 litre engine - two valve per cylinder nothing high tech and are a piece of s--t to drive. They are rear wheel drive and as mentioned not based on the Mondeo. They are huge when compared to my ST24- we're talking over 1700 kilograms here.
The T series are done by Tickford engineering (similar to your SVT I guess) and sold through seleceted dealers. They are very pricey ($60000 - $70000 AUS I think -if not more), my Mondeo ST24 was $36000 to give you an idea of how dear they are.
There is a new model that is being released in two months time that is supposed to have the modular V8 DOHC Mustang engine in it. The current ones have a 5.6l Windsor pushrod engine in them that is good for around 250kW from memory.
Personally I don't like them much- rather have my Mondeo.
60-70 is about 33.5-39 USD... not THAT bad considering the car I think
