I was wondering the other day if Aus has the F6 Typhoon ect and a performance brand of fords, do the Americans have similar?
I just had a gander and found the new 2010 Taurus SHO, which looks to be better then any 2010 model falcon :| http://www.fordvehicles.com/2010taurus/

SVT used to be it but from memory they gave them a fair cutting back a few years ago. I could be wrong though.

I just wish FPV were more like SVT, they turn out some real beasts
 Here's an example => http://www.fordvehicles.com/f150raptor/

The Taurus SHO is AWD, a bit on the heavy side, but a goer.

The Taurus SHO is not an SVT product. It's part of the standard Ford range. The only SVT product right now is the F-150 Raptor.

I was under the impression SVT still was the FPV equivalent. But Shelby are the go to's for Mustangs...

4cyl twin turbo?

Until the F6 gets a tune...  The SHO does look nice, and on the track with AWD it would be very competitive. They are quite expensive though aren't they?

 IMO i like the Taurus it was in a recent car mag (cant remember which) but they look stunning. The SHO might be heavy but still not a bad performer

The SHO Taurus i awsome, sure the AWD makes it heavier, but they've pumped some grunt into it,I remember in the passed SVT had Mustangs and a Focus, both went pretty well from my recollection.

SVT also did the Contour (Mondeo I think)?
Lets not forget the F-150 Lightning
