"The 5.8-liter V8 aluminum-block engine produces 650 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful production V8 in the world. The 3,850-pound car also stays exempt from the gas-guzzler tax." - Quoted for easy reading.

FPV say 335kw (450HP) is too much for a live rear for the utes, while the yanks hammer out 200+ extra on top

The utes have a leaf-sprung rear, where-as the mustang has coil springs

Because both of the potential customers would find some other reason not to buy it.

We had RHD Mustangs at about the same price as a TS50 (GT-P) here a few years ago, they were abject failures as far as sales were concerned.

Corvette QLD has a few converted ones and there is a Roush for sale up here if you are keen.

Will be interesting to see how popular the factory 5.8L block is, would go great with some N/A builds also.
