Probably due to the US marketing weenies and their perceptions on the company's domestic image, reputation, and legal liabilities, given the litigious nature of Americans.
Edit: Can you say oversteer-on-demand? That would be the equivalent of lawsuits-on-demand for Ford here.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

We never get anything good. Stupid crash standards and emissions laws, jeez. The rest of the world doesn't care. We could have Skylines, Type Rs, Eurospec versions of what the crap we get, Japanese spec versions of what we get, the crazy little Euro Hatchbacks with big horsepower (the Clio V6, Peugeot 206, Golf R32, etc) and the like, but NOOOOOOOO we get minvans and SUV's. Someday, I'm just going to bend over and have one of these toys imported. Just to get a real car with none of the added government crap.

Bull. If that was the case, every wanabe in a Z28 would be sueing GM for their driving incompetence.
I could go buy my self a plane if i had the money, pilots lisense or not. If i try and fly it, but crash, can i sue the company that made the plane, or the dealer for that metter? hell no. this is no different.

Ford's been talking about using 5.4L Supercharged in the next GT40.. to combat Viper's 500HP.
If this magic 650HP 5.0L engine of yours really exist.......... why don't they just use it?? Assdumb. [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 are you THAT thick? Im not talking about the car in the above picture, nor am I talking about its engine. Im replying to your mind numbingly STUPID post:
"Since when did Ford make naturally aspirated 5.0L engines that pump 650HP???"
I was alluding to the fact that Ford has been producing engines of this size and Hp out put for a lot longer then you or I have been around. Im sorry that your feeble intellect wasnt capable of coping with such a task as actually having to read between the lines.
