Thats here, theres much better ones in the states smaller and much more powerful then here. Coupled with the mustangs being around 200kgs lighter also doesnt help.

Rember the limited run of N/A mustangs we got here? Those 4.6s made 240kw (320hp) now cast your mind to the nations cup mustang (jd sponsored and driven by john bowe) with the supercharger that used to put the GTS monaros (300kw 400hp stock with allowneces for blueprinting,chips,exhaust ect ect) to shame,so much so they moved the mustang up a class claiming it was experimental because our (mustang) didnt have the supercharged motor. And then finally the fact where getting a larger iron truck motor which in a family tree would resemble the mustang mod motors distant cousin from texas larger,slower,overweight,less refined and speaks with a drawl (no offence to any texans just making a point) and the final nail in the coffin their refusal to risk any remote ammount of drivability (thanks to prodives mature edge) and their refusal to supercharge the current motor (which has seen some really massive number stateside and even at a local level i know of a handful floating around here) so there potential in that motor they just dont want to tap that.
