By the way, if Stone Bros go to Mercedes-Benz then you would have to safety assume that Prodrive would be a shoo-in to continue receiving Ford money if the FPV separation was amicable and unless they get a better offer from another manufacturer. The current Ford Australia president agrees that racing is in Ford Australia's DNA, so I can't see Ford pulling out any time soon. It rubs off on all their models, not just Falcon. And Ford is a heck of a long way further up the sales charts than Mercedes-Benz (hopefully that's covered all the retorts) |

Ford is committed to FPR for next year and anything could happen in the next 12 months. Ford Performance Vehicles will be 100% owned by Ford, so there is more incentive for them to get some rub off for that. Ford could have easily closed FPV but they obviously see there's still a demand for performance vehicles and want to protect that passion. Good times ahead. |

I certainly hope so, am waiting (and maybe saving) for them to realease the last GT-HO, wouldn't that be an awesome way to bow out.

Non-Australians are too polite and respectful for that sort of caper.
