GTP WTAC Week 45 : Non-American Muscle (sort of)
*** For Week 45, I chose two muscle cars that aren't American. Well, that is only sort of true - the FPV is actually a Ford product and the Jensen uses a Chrysler engine, but one is produced for the Australian/New Zealand market and the other was an English product. But both are big, heavy, V8 muscle cars with gobs of torque and horsepower. The FPV GT has slightly more HP and a better modern suspension system, but the Jensen Interceptor MkIII has a much more torque and weighs slightly less. It'll be interesting to see which automobile is faster and able to effectively transfer all that power (via the S2 tires) to the tarmac! ***
