So much better looking than the FGX, no wonder they chose to end the GT with the FG mk2
@lunch21023 жыл бұрын
Possibly, I think it's because of the Sprint, FGX XR8 + Sprint 8 + FGX GT, too much competition.

I like that the Falcon finished with a Sprint badge, the model before the first GT and the model after the last GT. A good way to bookend an Aussie legend, kinda poetic

Well I have a super pursuit ute 2007 and I can tell you the 2016 fgx xr8 halls arse over any engine package other than the Miami. Great car I luv it. Especially now with a 4.0 litre Whipple under the bonnet. Now it's crazy but even stock it absolutely smokes the 5.4. Even with a harrop supercharger on the ute the Miami stock is on par with with the 5.4. Trust me the fgx xr8 is an animal and when modded it's an absolute weapon.

Ive seen the hwp gtf on the streets in sydney. 1 thing about the gtf you didnt mention. John Bowe recorded 297km/h in one making it the fastest (top speed wise) australian made car ever in factory form. And ford did lie in the good way about power outputs. Talked them down, well down, as opposed to the standard issue manufacturer talking them up. So built to impress not dissapoint. The top speed run was done on a closed off section of a highway in the northern territory. So not a race track, or prepared track, but it was an official record.

I am biased as the owner of a lovely original early build (April 2008) FG XR6 but there's just something really nice about the FG Falcon shape .I do also love the later FGX too though ... Add the magificent FPV array and it's a very special car indeed . The 5.0 V8 SC ...beautiful engine by any standard and chuck in the joy of a six speed bullet proof manual and it doesn't get any better ..So glad you got to review this gorgeous hunk of Aussie Ford goodness ...It was fantastic ..

It's not as loud as the sprint because the fg-x has less sound deadening than the fg. My GS and my mate's xr8 have the same exhaust setup and his is louder in the cab. Also the GT-F definitely got retuned dampening over the r-spec setup.

Thanks for your video! To me the FG sedan looks the best and I'd have the F6 out of the lot.. But I would have to tune it to get the best out of it.. so much power is locked from factory (as with all performance cars) but the sedan just looks the best IMO. Can't beat those tail lights and the rear defuser and wing, they all go together really nicely. Actually, without that bobble at the launch, I'd say you could have almost made it to the 5.00 seconds or very close at least.. would be good if you could adjust the launch control RPM... Set it to like 3500rpm or even 4000..

I really wish more people would drive and enjoy there GTF's. If you want one to drive dont drop $100k+++ they do come up for around $80k with some kms on them. The over boost is addictive but also sucks as its very unpredictable, if it had an intercooler it would be insane. If i had a spare $50k i would get the Holy Grail kit in a heart beat.

In 20 yrs time when we look back this car will be the pinnacle of Australian V8s, they did a awesome job with small $, the only regret is Ford keen to move on didnt give this thing the interior and exterior it should have. Whilst the F is something it shoukd have been with a bit more wow exterior and interior with uniqueness should have been labelled GTHO. Huge mistake Ford and really poor not to give a product its final thankyou to both its legacy, fords australian staff and the trueblues that have supported the product for so long. We will never see this again and somehow we are worse off for it! Great review Ross
