I love it when Aussies geek out over american engine tech the same way I do. I've never been down under, but I feel some sort of long lost kinship with y'all.

[@bubbleman2002]

America in its infancy was basically a place to send undesirables to colonize it. Australia was the same premise except it was just supposed to be a prison island rather than a colonization attempt. Australian love potato chips and beer, just like Americans, they just talk a little different, and drive on the other side of the road.

[@kimbarling4213]

@@docstruthers Hey Justin the 6cyl motor you're most likely referring to came out in late 2002 in a new model Falcon codenamed BA. The motor is called a Barra,an aboriginal name . The motor also came with a more than effective Turbo option. Over the next decade plus till 2016 when aust Ford cease production of vehicles ,the development of this motor was an absolute weapon. The aftermarket build / tuning potential has street cars with up to 1000-1200hp !!! Running sub 10sec qtrs. I have heard that there are current orders from America to aust to purchase ,freight bk to America to install in enthusiasts vehicle's. That's how good this motor is in its development and design.
