Thanks for the article Mustang-talk. Interesting that the GT is being offered at a starting price of £32995. That's around $AUS64700, which is more than it is priced here.

. . . and then when you add non-basic colour, leather, premium sound, climate control seats, reverse sensors and gps, the price blows out to £35185 . . . $AUS68,990.

Hi, how come the 2015 Mustangs they are driving in the US they say they have 335kw and the Aussie ones are 303kw?
Also any one getting the Herrod supercharger kit 627HP. Factory warranty.

I believe it's simply diffenerent data measurements, Australia use different data to calculate the KW or measure it differently to the USA, it's been posted on the forum before, do a search on it.

It is the same motor and running gear in the car we get here.

SAE VS DIN rating, one is with all the engine accessories on and the other isn't. Both engines are the same.

You can buy all the Roush parts from the US, from the body panels, to grilles and stripe kits.. Even the ROUSH 2.3l supercharger kits! It certainly wouldn't be Roush 'certified', but you could make a 5.0 GT look the same and go the same with the Roush supercharger kit, exhaust and lowered suspension.. I reckon that's what I'd be going for! :evilone:

I had forgotten they had the license from Shelby for that, it would be a good option.
But personally, I prefer the look of the Roush over the Shelby. Each to their own..

I thought MM was approved for Roush as well.

Not sure about the Roush, but I do remember reading they have approval for the Shelby upgrades..

I'd say it was a Ford owned test car...its probably a special circumstances type of rego.
