Inside a 7-second Ford Barra street car | fullBOOST

The Aussie Ford Barra six is continually reaching new heights in performance. Nem’s FPV F6 street car recently became the first FG Falcon to run into the 7-second zone. The car still retains an IRS rear end and surprisingly many factory stock engine internal parts. We caught up with Michael from QuickBitz for an inside view on what it took to achieve this impressive milestone.

Does this mean when you say 2k barra can run 8's and you have that bloke laughing straight afterwards you won't be playing that anymore?

@@malsmith2012 on the proviso 'don't crash or smash them' as parts for F6 specific are hard to come by . Although as a Sunday car in america it would attract allot of looks- not in Ford America price list. Its hard finding stock BF FG genuine parts and FPV specific is even harder. 1000 bucks for a traction control module just as a example- and rare...you won't get them in a few days maybe a month. Ford had to look for them and old stock needs finding...3rd oarty retailers are good and bad...

Great to see local businesses here in Oz. Love this guys knowledge & enthusiasm. Ford's AU IRS is still the best in my opinion. Being an older driver, I've always preferred V8's for torque & sound. I still prefer V8s sound but the performance of these 6's cannot be denied.

[@FGXTurbo8883]

I agree, I had an au 3 vct xr6 with the a arm rear suspension. I now have an fgx turbo and I strongly believe that the au handled way better hands down

These Ford Barra engines are so impressive. I’m currently looking for an old 80’s Toyota Corolla shell to engine swap and turn into a drag car for a weekend hobby. I’m turning 34 and my partying days are well behind me, time for a hobby to keep me busy lol. The engine swaps I’m considering are the Barra, Rotary engine or 2JZ. My father use to drag race rotary engines. The amount of power they’d be able to put down with those tiny little engines was absolutely preposterous 😂
