A Ford GT smashes that and some! 1 mile "world record" heaps faster! 283mph!!

What is it Ford say? "Go Further"

I don't even think that other VW, the Bugatti Veyron can better this Speed...

I don't know any Huracan owners myself, but I have an idea that they wouldn't be too concerned if he cant take the family to the shops to fill up the boot..

Point being?
Apples and Oranges once again. Stock vs Heavily modified.

The GT500 was also underwhelming in the straight line department, but scored an A+ in the vocals department, the 5.0 sounded unreal. Horses for courses. Needless to say, both cars would leave the FG2 6 or 8 for dead by the second corner, no matter how many inexpensive killerwasps and torque can be extracted from its sledgehammer engine.

I've been in a Toyota Soarer that chopped out a V12 Murcielago twice on roll ons. Doesn't mean I'd want a Soarer over the Murci

**GazzF6** · 07-09-2016, 09:20 PM

Stock Vs Stock..
Lamborghini H. chopped again... This time by a Dodge Hellcat!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e5bfNtrCdPU

Point being don't mess with Muscle Cars!

roddy1960 · 07-09-2016, 10:24 PM

G'day all.. I think the point of this thread is to show what an FG with a few bob spent on her is capable of..This is , by any measure one of the best bang for your buck engines on the planet..Done right , this engine is tough enough to cop a fair bit of upgrading on a relatively low budget..Who cares if it doesn't handle like a Huracan it's not meant to..it's a family car , not a purpose built sports car..Cheers Rod

Falcon SXR8 · 07-09-2016, 10:27 PM

Lambos aint got nothing, going by this chop fest

bwahahaha worst video ever!
That's a chopping? pfft
So, to bring in the mentality used by many here for 1/4 runs (see the Sprint thread) say for example that video is "real" and "legit"

The lambo was supposedly fresh off a transporter, so may be 10 - 20km on it, therefore some kind of ECU protection going on there maybe. The Challenger? May be a few months older with more kms.

The Challenger has 707HP, the Lambo if it is the higher spec, 610hp.
The Challenger is built for going in a straight line and nothing more.
Lambo, well, circuits, straight line, whatever, it'll put up a fight.

But, just to stir you guys up...Hellcat vs electric...oh no

overpowered chassis will always = bigger thrills

So if Ford Australia see's this video they won't close up shop now, seeing the Falcon chops up Lambo's?

More like lamboghini gunna close shop because they got chopped by an aussie taxi thats going extinct soon

Anyone here saying they'd take the Lamborghini is really just saying you'd take the $$$$ of the Lamborghini.

Give the Falcon some credit.

Stock vs modified is a stupid argument. It's just a case of which car factory put the "mods" on before it left the line. It just so happens that the falcon can give more gut punching G force for 1/20th the price, which is really what most people care about. Sure the Lambo can take a track faster but is that really worth a whole house (to buy) and a new "normal" car (to service)? I'm not even factoring in depreciation here.

Pedro · 08-09-2016, 11:46 PM

This thread reminded me of a tongue in cheek vid my son made of me blowing off some Ferraris in my BF F6 at Lakeside a few years ago. Its called The Battle of Lakeside if someone can find it on youtube.

How do you back up that statement when sales figures indicated that most people who purchase “normal” cars don’t even buy Falcons?

No doubt a modified Falcon is fast in a straight line as are many modified cars and some can also get around a track quick smart to boot but if money was no object, there is a long list of vehicles I’d prefer before the it.

Falcon if you’re interested in a cheap performance family sedan makes some sense in its price range but if you are someone whose price point is higher, then your extra money buys into a whole different world of engineering even before you get up to the Lambo supercar type of spec.

**GazzF6** · 09-09-2016, 12:28 AM

And finally, here we have the mighty Ford GT against the VW Huracan around the race track, the victor is? You decide...

What a machine, how well does this thing handle!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi_lINJDBp8

And drag race... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XbmUsp...ature=youtu.be

THE END....

I was basically saying most people don't have over half a million of disposable cash to burn on a fast car.

Im not sure how to take this...?

Are you serious or are you taking the p1s$?...

FPV+fteT3 · 09-09-2016, 10:30 AM

With all these factual youtube videos and first hand accounts on the net featuring super car beating falcons why is it the fastest fully engineered racing falcon or commodore for that matter around Mt Panorama would not even make it near the top 10 shootout at the B12hr?
Are the PRA and T8 650hp, sequential gearbox cars rubbish? it would appear Barry and Cheryl in their back shed with a case of VB a 1900kg 4 door sedan, using a 6 cylinder engine mated to an auto box can build a better mouse trap. Barry should call Roland post haste and offer his services, Cheryl can organise the catering…

jrfttf · 09-09-2016, 10:59 AM

comparing apples to pears much? 9.9 sec from the falcon, tipping more than just a couple of mods.....

yeah but that was only 1/8 mile , thats a joke , you dont see top end power showing at least until you get to 1/4 , but that is why tesla only brags about 0 to 100 because there are plenty of petrol cars that can run it down the quarter .

Then again it depends on the cost of your apples doesnt it , one costs as much as a house the other is a sporty family sedan massively cheaper, mods or not it comes down to perspective.

No argument the battery car is quick , but top end is where its at .

basteve · 10-09-2016, 02:50 PM

The falcon costs a huge sum less. So given that its an amazing that ford has achieved this. So who cares if lambo is stock or not. Go the falcon. Its highly underated good car and its treason for an australian to rubbish their fellow countrymans efford in car manufacture. Go true blue
