Talk of a sensational defection from one of the five Ford teams has been gaining traction since the recent Sydney SuperNight.
It comes as the Blue Oval squads continue to struggle against the Camaro-shod outfits due to a lack of rear tyre life.
Changes were made to the Ford rear aero package for Townsville after a parity review was triggered after Darwin.
Although the Townsville event yielded the first Mustang victory of the season, this had more to do with tyre strategy than outright pace.
The Camaros were back on top in Sydney with little in the way of optimism that the Ford woes have been solved.
Frustration over the situation has fuelled the talk that a team may jump ship next season and re-skin its cars as Camaros.
The chief suspect to a potential switch is Grove Racing, with owner Stephen Grove playing down the notion when quizzed by Autosport, but not ruling it out entirely.
