Love the BOSS engines. I don't care what anyone says about them coz they always put a smile on my face. Fast I6 is cool but a throaty V8 is always gonna bring a bigger smile.

[@MrFordpower]

Hot 🥵

[@j0hnab0i97]

As an American, it breaks my heart to hear how Holden and Ford and Chrysler over there are gone ... the US is about to go thru something similar it seems with the big 3 here... different reasons perhaps but similar outcomes unfortunatly.

[@gthofalcon3546]

The FPV's were killed off because they were top of the line, no expenses spared, Ford quality vehicles, unfortunately many previous Falcon owners just didn't have the spare cash at the time (around 2016 I think) and traded theirs in for the less expensive SUV or whatever, I bought a 2010 GT around that time, mind you I did trade the Wife in so I certainly had plenty of spare cash laying around.

[@j0hnab0i97]

Wish we had cars like the FPVs or Holden cars here in the USA. GM tried but they never caught on probably because they were not marketed well. Anyway, GM and Chrysler brands here are killing off all v8 passenger cars with the excception of GM's Corvette and GM Trucks(utes). Ford only has the Mustang. No more 5.7 or 392, Hellcat cars or SS or ZL1 Camaros. I really wish Ford would have imported their V8 Falcons here to the states and GM would have marketed their cars better here. Folks that have the rebranded Holdens here love them now, now that we know what they are. Lol

[@1meangt992]

This is why I find a Barra never puts a smile on a face like a V8

[@chriswalshe499]

Thank you!!!!

[@plumbs7199]

Barras are just different.

100% agree mate haha

[@RossReviewsau]

I fully understand 😅

[@keno88]

For sure, the Barra owner is too worried about breaking speed limits to smile 😅

[@grahamparsons1070]

I’m with you Ross, looks/sounds amazing 😍wheel combo absolutely spot on, such a refreshing change to the bigger diameter is better mentality. Thank you for your work and sharing

[@RossReviewsau]

Totally agree! Awesome build

[@stephenbell-kv5lj]

I have a 2010 boss 290 as my daily with 215,000klms. Still no issues. A window actuator and front shocks is my repairs to it.. Incredibly reliable machine.

[@marklowe7431]

Mines done 245 and just pulled it down for a perf rebuild. Just keep an eye on the chain guides as they eventually crack at the bolts. Doing guides isn't that bad but it will save you some pain later. The mains, rod bearings & all journals were amazing.

[@preemz45]

I like Barras but the noise of the boss is delicious

[@RossReviewsau]

Yeah I agree

[@petermanuel7128]

Great review of the FG GT. I love the cams, it makes a big difference. What a great sound it has. I’ve got 2009 GS 302 which is the same motor as this one, it just has a lower output. I’d be interested in getting similar cams and exhaust done to mine. It had a pretty good 0-100 considering the suspension setup. A credit to the owner for all the effort he’s put into it to making it such a nice car.

[@motomenace86]

Thanks heaps I appreciate it 🫶🏼

"Such An Intoxicating Noise" 🤤👌

[@chriswalshe499]

Never seen the grey plenum and cam covers like that. Luuuuv it!!! Those Boss quads just look sooo mean, clean and faaaat.

[@LachlanBowes]

Thanks mate I appreciate it ! I got the plenum and rocker covers painted in pearl white with blue flake all through it 👌🏼

[@jrbuch]

Those Work wheels suit it amazingly. Much much better than Simmonds wheeels which seem to be on nearly every Commodore/Falcon.

[@runslaTe]

Man ive always loved these 315s ..well done

[@glennt69lol]

Currently own a few comparable vehicles. Weekend toy FG GS Miami supercharged/ZF/mods Mid week/Friday toy BA XR8 Boss 260/BTR/basic mods Daily drive BA LTD 220kw 3V/BTR/exhaust 5.0L Coyote/Miami - destroys both 5.4 modular engines in every driving aspect. 5.4L Boss modular quad cam - sounds best, in the 4k rpm range its a beautiful noise, great for highway cruises, its a true driver engine if you use it on long roads, and highway driving, effortless overtaking power... At the sacrifice of downlow off the traffic lights take off... 3V 5.4L modular quad cam - awesome downlow torque, not as raspy or aggressive sounding as the 4V, really good drivability (never driven a ZF backed 3V but i think that would be an ultimate combination for a quick daily drive) Soundtrack fun = Boss 4V modular V8 Speed/power = Miami supercharged V8 Streetability fun = 3V modular V8

[@pete508]

Yes you're exactly right man that beautiful note alone is enough to own one of these lol & its mean looks as well,but 5.5 0 to 100 is bloody quick for a Boss so the owner has done a really great job indeed,anyway a top review Johnny loved it mate.

Is the exhaust mild steel or stainless steel. They look good dropped really low. I had a Barra and I love how much power they can get out of them. But an V8 sounds better

The boss engine cops a lot of unjustified criticism. They can make big power NA or blown. Like any engine they have a few weaknesses that need addressing but once they are they're bulletproof.

Dose he got wheel spacers? Looks wide stance. Very nice gt

[@LachlanBowes]

Correct mate I actually have to run 15mm spacers on front for the work meisters to clear my brembos by 2mm 😅 that’s the reason why I had to then camber the front to -4.5°

[@garrymcgaw4745]

WOW!, that front camber is wild.... those tzres wouldnćt lat to long. Zeah Ross she sounds KILLA. love Your reviews and sorry to hear about bike, BASTARDS. Cheers from Adelaide bro.

[@potaka79]

The sound is INSANE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Not a fan of the front wheels and the camber angle 🤮🤮🤮....But it's not my car and everyone has their own preferences.

[@fugawiaus]

Why are you putting the 5.4 down? Both the barra and Miami need forced induction to keep with it. Imagine supercharging the 5.4. Just saying…..

[@nemesis_zl1180]

Have u owned a 5.4? They are def not a powerhouse. And supercharged 5.4 is still terrible. Def an upgrade though

[@fugawiaus]

@@nemesis_zl1180 I have exactly the gt in this video but in blue. The barra is around 170kw without turbo and the coyote struggled to 300kw in the mustang. There are differences but an exact comparison is difficult. The Miami was only used due to the 5.4 not able to pass new emission regs. It was lighter with an alloy block and slightly lower in the chassis. It wasn’t used because it was more powerful. The 5.4 can pump out easily as much power as the Miami. It has all the same internal changes as the Miami but bigger and stronger iron block.

[@RossReviewsau]

I’ve driven all of them, I used to own one.. it’s a great engine but it’s a slug unless you got a lot of money.. that’s it tho.. sounds epic and can make power if you got the dollars.. LS & Barra are just cheaper to make power

[@garyvonpein1747]

My mate has a cammed boss and he’s walked Miami falcons cammed LS3’s and Barra turbo falcons , he’s done 11.8 down the strip with manual trans, most people that hang shit often don’t have a clue
