I dont think they'd do something like that. Ford needs to be in a position to consolidate buyers so they dont buy VE's and put themselves in a position, that come March 08 theyre maybe 12 months away from another new car. Whilst offering hyped up runouts might get a few in, it will also severely piss off anyone whos just bought a Falcon who are the people Ford need to keep as buyers. Ford should be aware of the massive backlash Holden and HSV has recieved when they first released the LS1 with the same output as the outgoing Holden V8 in the GTS, and then introduced the LS2 in the Z series, again essentially as a $30K cheaper GTS. Theres probably a minority of buyers out there that went running when AU was released, and may have finally gained some confidence back in Ford. It wouldnt take much for that minority to grow in size IMO.

As far as last hurrah's go, look for a 40th anniversary GT, perhaps only available in the original colour combo of gold with black stripes, and perhaps the reverse of that of black with gold stripes.
