You’re not wrong!! The FG seemed like more of a linear torqued rocket-ship, made to feel like it has very long legs!! The HSV seemed to be more like a snarling angry beast hunting on the plains of Africa, that would chew up and spit out the foolhardy!! For me, i do like linear torque across a rev range, with that feeling of sublimeness. I think that I would get a bit bored with it though and it would be cool to have both of them in the shed. One for those times when you want a bit more of a more gentle stretch and the other for when you want to get rid of some pent up RAGE!! ☠️☠️😎

I’ve always preferred Holden’s over Ford’s, back in the V8 Supercar days I was more of a Holden fan than a Ford fan, but regardless of which car you liked more or which side you were on, I’ll always have love for both of these Aussie icons. We will never see another classic Aussie rivalry like the Commodore up against the Falcon or the HSV pitted against the FPV. Both brands had killer vehicles and that sweet V8 symphony that we will never experience again. The death of Holden in 2017 and the end of the Falcon around 2016 were sad days for the Aussie car culture. With V8’s being killed off due to strict emissions and everything downsizing and/or going to electric only, manuals being discontinued due to poor sales while the majority of Australian car sales are either family SUV’s or Ute’s it is the beginning of the end for car enthusiasts.

Love the Super Charger whine is awesome on the Holden but when the commentator drove it he wasn’t comfortable and seemed to be unpredictable. The Falcon was more manageable and had more power. Both are great cars. It’s a shame that we don’t make cars like these in Australia anymore. We should have protested more and pressured the government to keep them from the history books 📕

How could the 335 Kw Falcon have more power than the 430 Kw GTS? Unless the Falcon has been HIGHLY modified and the GTS in standard trim. With both in standard form the Falcon is a whimp by comparison. Then there is the GTS R at 474 Kw .......... There was no match by Ford!

Awesome review! I really like that the owners keep the cars looking stock. I have personally found the Ford chassis to be mismatched to that glorious engine. It’s good to see the owner working on that side of it too. I know it’s not about 0-100 times in cars like this, but I think they’d greatly benefit from a decent launch control setup through the engine and transmission management control units.

@@Low760 I have never driven a BA but I did own an FPV GTP (Boss 335) and hated the whole setup, other than the engine. I didn’t tune the car at all simply because the chassis couldn’t handle the stock power. I had previously owned a HSV GTS and found that to be much better engineered as a whole package, especially with the magnetic ride control suspension. The FG F6 also seemed to have better balance than the Boss, but still not quite as engineered as the HSV.

​@olik9388 the only weak link in the Falcon is the OEM suspension bushes are way too soft. Replace them with urethane and they transform how they drive. I bought a brand new BA2 F6 Typhoon, I did motorsport events with it, often against HSV models, it wasn't even close. The HSVs also imo do not have the same steering response and composure. If you fitted comparable shocks to the very few HSVs that had the magnetic ride you'd see a bigger difference. Not to mention the Barra turbo or the Miami v8 blow the doors off the LS which really is a boat anchor.

I am a ford man l love both of these cars. The Ford being a quad cam V8 feels more refined and sophisticated, behaved better and delivered the power more efficiently but the Holden GTS was just raw and was a maniac with the edge of the seat rush to it. Both fantastic cars but with distinctive characteristics which l can love and appreciate both.

VF more costly but more tuning avail .. at 6 foot 4 I think the coupe is best option .. more room etc

Absolutely you can, for the coin bang for your buck in power id take the falcon all day long but that chassis just wont ever put the power down as neatly as the HSV will Credit where credits due both owners done an amazing job with the cars, i could imagine how lack luster Ross F6 felt driving home tho..ahhhhh choo...ahhhhhh choooo

Of course HSVs are worth more now because this is bogan country but still...your point is correct.

Just hearing that GTS at full tilt made my skin crawl. Just freaking awesome. Alsp good on you mate. Now thats how you let Ross drive your car so he can truly experience the power of the LSA. Also Ross that Ford was built with power and grip track in mind. These HSV are monster grip also and planted but because thos owner has not got to that point yet. When you add power you have to add tires and so on to put that power down. Basically right now that HSV with stock grip is handling all the extra power its making with no extra grip mods. Hopefully now that he has gotten thr power where he wants it hopefully he focuses alittle bit more to grip and you will see the true potential of that chassis.

Wish you could test an e49 charger, 0 to 100 in 5.9 seconds, quarter 14.1 . The old 1972 tyres were terrible so would be better today easily. The 265 was the Barra in the old days.

SMALL CAPACITY + BIG 4V HEAD = SOFT BOTTOM END. If the Ford had 1000cc of extra capacity it would FULLY utilise the cavernous quad cam configuration, otherwise it's ALWAYS playing second fiddle!

from what i could read, the connecting rods in the 1993 4.6 SOHC and the same as the 5.0 and 5.4 ford engines made in the usa... but that year code 1993 comes up as 128'000psi tensile and the aftermarket 4140 rods are only 90'000psi tensile. other years got 55'000psi tensile rods with aluminum pistons... not easy getting that info but i think the upper range of the minimum 128'000psi rods was 875lbft.

Herrods also used to sell them, not sure if they manufactured them too. They put 295s on using the ones they sold but not sure if you could go higher. Dalta Auto ones are said to be good for 315s so i have no idea where he got ones that go to 325...the video shows the XR8 with stock rims and didnt think 325s would fit on them.
