One of the best cars ever made i owned a lot of XYs.

You’re using footage from Australian Muscle Car sales. Do you have permission to do so?

HO was for Handling Options not High Output, as the HO's had upgraded brakes and suspension.

Countless error's in this tripfest

The Charger hemi 265 E49. Its my aussie muscle weapon of choice. Oboxious rebel 6 cyl. That farts on clevo V8's in everything but top end speed. 🖕 It would be the princible quality weapon of choice. For an evil overlord of wealth & taste. Hint. If satan had to choose an Aussie muscle car to roll in . That would be the ONLY choice. GOD HIMSELF KNOWS I'M RIGHT!

piece of junk, a commodore is better

I"m almost 100% sure at ALL GTHO's {Phase 1 11 & 111} only came as a 4 speed non-were auto

HO stood for holomogation option

I have a 99 TA that I've added the SLP exhaust, tuned, regeared to 373s and added a locking diff to. That LS1 is a thing of beauty. It just runs great.

They were a good car in their day and went great.

Would be nice to have as a collectible but today just about any LS-engined car would have that engine beat and active suspension would do better.

The trans am that pissed off the Corvette off so bad, they had the whole brand killed off.

Fire chickens, we called em they looked good but them dern stangs were quicker😮

Back when we had an F-Body club (over 300 members in the city and teamed up with track meets from another city), we had quite a few Firehawks in the club. I was a member from about 99-04 and helped form the club and was over events. It was an awesome time (until I deployed) in my life and having over 100 people show up in the "cruise spot" on any given weekend was a treat. Our track meets were spectacular and every month we had a "dyno day" which actually lasted over the weekend. We would get a discount on dyno runs. Ironically, the only place in town that had a modern dyno was actually a Mustang performance shop lol. I had a 1994 Z28 with headers, cat-back and a Powerdyne supercharger. The car only had 14k on it!! I was always being hassled to switch up from the LT1 and convert over to the LS1 "catfish camaro" but just couldn't do it. I dynoed with that setup at about 320whp and was finally able to break into the 12s at the 1/4 mile. The LS1 SS Camaros and WS6's used to pull about 300whp with a cat back. I remember when this guy brought in a Firehawk. Basically at the time you had Trans-Am, the WS6 Trans-Am, and you had the Formula Firebirds. Lots of guys liked modding the Formulas because they weighed less for the track. This Firehawk was the first one we had seen dynoed and it was a 2001 with nothing added to it. It dynoed 330whp which shocked everyone because that meant GM underrated the HP numbers. At the track, this guy ran it on drag radials for 12.8's all day long. It was faster than the SS and WS6 with some really good drivers even with headers and exhaust. I REALLY wanted a Firehawk for a long time...but ended up with another LT1 car I converted to an LT4 with a turbo kit and all kinds of goodies. This guy ended up going nitrous on the car and completely blowing up his engine when he tried to race an R1 on the highway with a 250shot on the stock engine. Guy ended up getting the 2001 Lingenfelter z06 Corvette with the turbo on it and just showed up to meets. Never raced the car.

The Mopar 426 Hemi Gen 2 should be the ultimate engine, the sound, the power potential, the cost, the weight, the size, there are no piston engines of similar displacement that can crank out 11.000-12.000 hp

454...or 429...though we're the top dogs...when I was growing up...the 351 c...was good as welll

Muscle car? How 'bout the '56 Golden Hawk with a 352 Packard? Small(ish) car big engine, hmmmmm. Jus' sayin'. You couldn't a Henry J that wasn't turned into a gasser? They're out there.

You need to edit out the Pontiac lemans clips ! lol

I had a 1969 Chevelle 😊

🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

Get one of these by any means necessary, sooooo worth it. I love my 2018.The Camaro may be discontinued but it will never truly die.

I love them

My name is jaiden I'm 15 year old I will miss the camaro

The Maximus Charger was only in the end scene, paying tribute to Paul Walker, nowhere else.

On the subject of the Tokyo Drift Monte Carlo, that 632 could make around 800hp on high octane pump gas and over 1000 on race gas.

He said an Eevee was in the fast and the furious movie LOL he doesn't know what he's talking about he said doms motor in the last charger was a 440 he needs to really check his facts before making something lol

I had 3 firebirds in High School, two 67s (one was a red Firebird 400), and one 68. The 68 was a rare sprint convertible with the HO 250/4bbl.

Why he forgot Vin Diesel original name, but remember paul walker name instead of Brian O'Connor.. This shows love towards paul walker...😅

My all time favourite muscle car ❤

My all time favourite along with the Falcon Coupes... but funny to think my current 4 cylinder Focus ST Mark IV kicks it's arse in acceleration, handling and top speed...! I think I'd be happy to swap my ST for one of these though.... any takers....?

It should be noted that no XY GT ever competed in a Bathurst ‘1000’, only Bathurst ‘500’s , which is about 625 kms.

The ZL-1 needed to be priced closer to the "SS" and the SS closer to the 6 cylinder Camaros. If that would've happened GM would've outsold the Mustang and still be in production.

By the thumbnail the producers of this channel have no idea about cars. Just regurgitating shite from Wikipedia!

Wow this was very intriguing I’m definitely gonna sub this is great first video new info for me

I was born in 1968, so can't relate to these cars. By the time i could drive, they were way out of date, yet they still generate endless media attention. My first car was an XE Falcon, a 3-3 four speed. These rarely rate a mention these. Days, yet i can better relate to them. I'm all XY'd out. They were more for the previous generation, but do they even look at channels like this nowadays?

All the pics of an XY with Globe wheels. NO XY was ever sold with them. They were 'retro homolgated' by Ford giving XY owners the wheels that were made for an XA

Great car, but as someone who built four of them for racing between 1969 and 1971, it took 3 months and another $10k to make one race ready. In fact we imported the engines from Charlotte Ford and reinstalled the originals when we sold them. As stock, they were little more than GTs with some extras for homologation.

Favourite falcon to drive was a absolute pleasure

ZL1 is almost almost ZR1 its own rival especially on track , so GM killed it to make people buy overpriced fake Ferraris copy cats C8s !

GM is killing a lot of wonderful cars ! , they KILLED THE FRONT ENGINE !!

give me a hq coupe anyday😉😉😉😁

This is a unique cars style puff piece,nothing really insightful

Change the thumbnail. No one likes AI

Intercooler ? Do your homework buddy.

Thumbnail looks nothing like it. Thumbnail car is good looking.

What car is that on the thumbnail ????

Whats with the crappy thumbnail??? Looks like lazy terrible AI garbage Think ill go watch someone elses video about the Falcon instead

They are so overrated it's not funny they were good in a straight line and went pretty hard bad brakes and understeer, they were a good car in their time but not worth all the rave they get same thing with the Toranas .

Why can’t these cars be put on a track just to prove how fast they really are . I don’t think there much faster than cars from that era

Why can’t one of these cars be put on a track just to see how fast they really were
