ʻO nā kaʻa me ka hiʻohiʻona hou e pili kokoke loa i ka mea āu e ʻike ai ma ke alanui, nui nā panela i hoʻololi maikaʻi ʻia ma waena o lākou - ʻaʻole ia ka hihia me nā Mustangs a me Holden Commodores i kēia lā.

ʻOiai ua hana ʻia nā panela a pau me nā mea i hoʻohui ʻia e hōʻemi i ke kumukūʻai a me ke kaumaha, ʻo nā puka, ka puʻupuʻu, ke kumu a me ka hale, a me nā kukui a me ke aniani, ua like ka nui me nā mea alanui.

No ka ʻoi aku ka ikaika a me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana, ua hoʻohālikelike ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona ʻelua i nā kiaʻi pipi i mua a me nā kiaʻi hope, a me ke ʻano holo heihei mua a me ka ʻēheu hope.

Ma lalo o ka puʻupuʻu o nā hiʻohiʻona ʻelua he mau mīkini hou loa, e pani ana i ka 5.0-lita V8 i hoʻohana ʻia i nā kaʻa heihei o kēia manawa. E hoʻohana ʻo Ford i ka 5.4-lita V8 e pili ana i ka hoʻolālā Coyote like me ka Mustang hele alanui, aʻo ka Camaro e hoʻohana ʻia e ka 5.7-lita V8 LTR.
