Does anyone know the stock performance times eg 0 -100, 1/4 mile? I presume it would be not light speed but a little quicker than a AU Forte 6?

They are big and heavy and 0-100k in 8+ sec and quarter in 16+ sec.
Not much quicker than an Auto forte. Only 18 extra Kw and 250 extra Kg it doesn't make for a rocketship. Nice cars though but need a cam and extractors as a minimum to get going and then you could expect low 15's easy enough. |

I have never been happier with a this car than all the other Fords I have owned . I have only ever owned Fords ever since I got my licence back to 1959 and on my property even my Tractor is an old Ford Major ( I have rebuilt that motor a few years ago and even gave it a heavy port and polish for a bit more power ) My V8 is more fuel efficient than my Wife's AU 6 cylinder sedan and I have a computer for that too but I am ashamed of myself that I have not tuned her car for about 2 years and will have to do it soon. All I can say about my Fairlane is that I LOVE IT with 20,000 on the clock .
