Yes, it's a V12 monster. with a 6.5L 12 cylinder and, right at 600bhp yes its a rocket. I'm also a fan of the shelby GT500 very nice car.

What it dosn't state in the specs is that they only ever built a few thousand of the GT & GT-HO range...hence the price tag for them now. Yeah, I remember the aussie version ford falcon! The newer GTO's here in the US have 6 liter V8's pushing 400hp I'm a big fan of classic cars, I used to own a 1970 AMC Javelin! But, I sold it for $5,500 15 years ago. The standard 1970 Javelin engine was the 6 cylinder 232. The major change in the V8 engines was the dogleg head design. During Trans-Am teting and racing, AMC engineers determined that about 50% more volume of air could be forced through the heads under extreme racing conditions, if the exhaust port on the heads were L shaped instead of square shaped. A running production change for the 1970 AMC engines was the inclusion of a new cam, nicknamed the "white stripe". Insurance price hikes were hurting the sales of pony cars and muscle cars at this time, so AMC did not raise the advertised horsepower by much with the new cam, but in reality the performance was greatly increased after this change. The Donohue Javelin had a redesigned 360 engine. The engine block had thicker webbing to allow four bolt mains, and could be more easily bored out. The engine was designed for street racing and did well, but the bigger diameter two bolt system worked better for drag racing where the RPM's were a lot higher.
