No i would not, just notice they are very different cars with different specifications made specifically for the type of car they are. And if it was for a charity event then of course they should meet on track for donations, but that is beside the point.
Yeah that is very true but James is completely valid with his comments. Falcons strong points have always been straight line performance. Commodores have always been the better handling car. FPV's are more muscle cars than Sports Sedans like HSV's and James being a race car driver would probably prefer the better cornering car over the car quickest in a straight line.
@@EnVyRe4per the 240km/h is where the factory speed limiter kicks in.. it's so you don't go outrunning the cops.. it's even discussed in the cars manual.. my old BA XR8s kicked in at 245km/h and it was no where near the redline.. you can get it switched off via tune
its funny how people are rushing to buy the last of the GT's at their local ford dealers thinking they would sky rocket in price, hate to burst your bubble people but the current GT falcons have NO racing PEDIGREE unlike the XR XT XW XY even the XA XB GT's that had raced at bathurst so dont go fooling your self!
The So-called racing heritage only comes because the V8s we see racing bear no mechanical similarity to the road cars. How long befor we see Camry bodies racing as V8 Supercars. That should certainly boost The Camry out of the beige cardigan set into a racing heritage. All I want is a quite good handling inter capital cruiser.
4 people going hard, if has an incident imagine the press, makes it harder for every enthusiast in Australia. I don't care if it is Courtney, it's stupid.
What a crap car so many for sale and people trading up for the HOLDEN and to think not once have they had a FORD racing along real Bathurst racing cars like holden do all the time, LOL :) also not once have they had the production car race at any track to see what time it does. lol :)
7071t6 and what about that American LSA in an Aussie Holden. What an Australian car that is mate! 🤣 I’m guessing ur American and really if u were Australian ud know about how many of these are going around over here. The only reason people are trading this in is because of the mustang or the inline 6 Ford Falcons such as the F6 or the Sprint 6. Sorry to burst ur bubble but Ford actually has won this year in the Ford Falcon FG X plus all V8 Supercars are all the same mate, it’s just the body of the car that’s different. Yet ur still wrong when u say that the car hasn’t raced anywhere around a track. There’s a website called Ford forums if u would’ve done ur research but clearly u haven’t, that people post stuff about lap times they did or power figures so.... and really what’s the point of racing a car like this around a track to see what time its made when really ur probably just going to use it as a weekender car or simply just buy the car and do it yourself if u really need to know for some reason! U just keep driving ur American Mustangs and Camaros. Wait let me be like u LOL :)))))))
Well I don't know about other cars..... but I have a 2009 GT. Last year did a road trip from North Coast NSW to Uluru...…. awesome. 1st day left Tamworth 1030 am, pulled into Broken Hill right on 7pm - including 2 fuel stops and lunch break. Do the math on that! 2nd day - Broken Hill to Port Augusta - saw maybe a dozen cars the whole trip. Nice 3 hour cruise using both lanes and, allegedly, a Radar Detector. Next day - Port Augusta to Coober Pedy etc etc. I cant imagine theres a better car for that trip, the GT was just ripping...….every highway should be a 130 km/h zone !
Yeah... not many trading "up"? To a Holden. There was about 4x as many hsvs as FPVs. At the time the 335 was quicker than the old 325 pushrods of Holden. The lesser numbers of the FPV compared to the common HSV will show in the end.
