When I first came to Australia to live, the very first car I drove was a then-new BA XR6 turbo. I'd just sold an E36 M3 in the UK; and that Falcon would have blown it off the road. So when I got my citizenship a few years later, I treated myself to a BF XR8. Proper Aussie muscle car, with a proper Aussie V8. It wasn't that fast, it was in a shade of green that can only be described as "metallic dehydrated piss", and it drank like a bogan at Bathurst. But what a car. *Edit* After writing this comment, I realised how much I missed my BF XR8. And as luck would have it, there was an immaculate XR8 BF2.5 with the Aggressor body kit for sale about 15 mins away by the original owner. I did a deal, and am the again the proud owner of my very own bright orange XR8. And I could not be fucking happier

@solomonthadon 2 года назад

E36 M3’s are great, but the fact that a Ford Falcon XR6T can be what it is, for the price point too and size etc is amazing Sad the falcons gone

@pokinacha 2 года назад

What is a shame is the Bathurst name that was solely associated with Holden Vs Ford, was forgotten from the rich history that was Australian motor racing before the Holden and Ford gubbins. Did you know that both Ferrari and Maserati raced at Bathurst? The Blue and Red has painted over a rich racing history in an attempt to sell more local cars. look how well that’s gone.

Very good for humble old car considering it looks a bit difficult to launch. I've been in the v8 version and once you deal with the launch the g force in incredible so I think upto 40 km/h it might be similar but after that the v8 would pull a lot harder.
