Ford in Australia have the Super Pursuit utility too – pretty much the same as the Holden Maloo R8. But they both aren’t a truck……

For the record, here’s the SRT specs (from the website).

500 horsepower
525 lb-ft of torque
8.3-liter V10 Viper engine
Six-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter
22-inch polished-aluminum wheels available
Dual exhaust
508-watt Infinity® sound system

If Ford didn’t have so many other problems to deal with, they could put the necessary development time into that lightning concept, and put up a hell of a fight against the SRT. If that cold air, nitrous-like shot of gas/air mixture it can produce is properly executed, alongside the 5.4 litre 550HP supercharged V8 from the GT, I could see them owning.

6 and 7, if it were anybody else, I would probably believe you. However, if you have seen anything else anonymous has posted, you probably agree with us, he is really that sad.

Captain, the sensors on board appear to have failed to detect the high levels of sarcasm in the first post

By your logic Anonymous, the T-Blazer SS (which is the basis for the SSR) is faster than the GTO (which is based on the Holden RWD platform). Both use the same Vette engine.

I guess GM vehicles defy the laws of physics (heavier is actually better)
