175kw base model. Low boost turbo 200kw... All twin cam VCT. GT will only come back if it's a permanent model. Thats all i can remember so far...

Thanks mate..

i seem to recall stating 175KW before.........

Doesn't matter if its 375kw if its ugly.
Cars with a certain beauty sell even if they're built without so much as a power band.

I think those power outputs are a little optimistic. Ford isnt gonna jump into everyones pants with power outputs that are just plain 'out there'. There is no need to have power levels that are way beyond everyone else. And it wont leave much power up margin for Ford later on down the track, when it's time for AVII etc etc.

For the standard 6 you are probably looking at around 165kw.
For the Turbo XR6 you are probably looking at the 200kw mark.
For the standard V8 probably around 220kw
For the T's - who knows, possibly around 250 - 275kw

I wasnt far wrong with those power figures...
