Hi guys found my way here through one of the downloads of Kazaa, "Go Tiff" thought I say hi and post a pick of my current ride - Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo, taking her in today for a Unichip Upgrade which will be a big boost to the power she kicks out.

Regards

I belive the Holdens still outsell the Fords, and have been for quite some time now....so they can't be that shit. I like the Ford aswell as the Holden, although I prefer to own Commodores over Falcons.

yes too many commodores and yellow taxi falcons......bloody monotonic. the new breed of falcons are awesome. Especially that 'orange' one. Phwoar. Kicked my ass to 100 that day.

Its very nice car man , which Ford is derived from ?

Master G

It is a version of the Ford Falcon which is only sold in Australia, the car is Aussie designed and built with something like 85% of components being locally produced. Ford have a number of Falcon models from the standard 6cyl 180kw, 8cyl 220kw, 6cyl Turbo 240kw 8cyl modified 260 and then the FPV Ford Performance Vehicles GT which has a modified 8cyl producing 290kw.

the defelctors are not standard but not sure whether it is or not a cost option

The Window Deflectors are one of the minor extra cost dealer options I added, along with a Sump Guard, Mud Flaps, Scuff Plates and XR6 floor mats. Soon to be added the mobile phone kit when it goes in for its 3000km service next week.
