BA falcon turbo

[ylwgtr2]

My father bought a BA falcon XR6 ute a few months ago...although i have driven it before i have borrowed the car for a few days and i have to say its not a bad thing......Very smooth power delivery,nice top end in fact it feels like an electric engine.Its quite funny actually when dad said he wanted an XR6 ute i suggested he get the turbo version....he is 65 years old and its the first new car in his life...

The old man has hit positive pressure for the first time !(first turbo car he has driven as he is a bit big to fit in my GTR!)

But its not factory fastest in the world, its been modified so much over the standard xr6 turbo.

Ya... i those records stand for factory models/competition more so than modifed

there may well be a modified section though...

But like anything, you can modify all sorts of things with $$$

yesterday i had the pleasure of dragging the ba falcon turbo...at bell st just before the tulla freeway, anyway they are a great car, we were neck and neck right up till 80kays then I backed off because its a 60 zone and i didnt want any surprises.......waited untill the freeway then again we had it out.....

My car is standard but id say that he beat the skyline if we were to drag at a strip.....

like i said before ive always liked ford and its about time a nice package arrived.....

[slow_r31]

they would easily beat a stock 32/33, just abit quicker than a ss 5.7L commodore on the street. id imagine that a clubsport/gts would hand its ass to it however.

(this is bone stock)

i didn't think a xr6 turbo was that quick.... that's quite impressive.. but i read from wheels magazine that the gearbox is very weak and the auto is a better package. Apparently they are bringing out a more pumped up xr6 turbo in the near future.
