Mustang GT vs FPV GT* The Battle of the Fords! (0-100kph) 

Still breaks my heart to know we don't make Fords or Holdens here anymore. Brilliant video mate, thank you.

Im a holden man through and through, but I'll sit here and hope that Falcon wipes the floor with that little pony!🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

All Miami V8 powered falcons including the FPV Gt's, GtPs, gtfs, fgx xr8, sprints etc all have the overboost function. This one goes from 335 kw to 380kw on overboost which is huge and explains why it feels so much quicker than the stang

Your love for the Aussie V8 makes me appreciate them more every time I watch you hop in one Rossy🔥 good stuff

Aussie Aussie Aussie

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bloody exited for this. I absolutely can’t wait for it to premiere. Those cars are 2 really great looking cars. From Jordan’s car reviews.

Thank you for another great video!! i remember the first time i drove an Xr6 turbo back in 2003 and it was neck snapping fast.... and then came along FPV with the supercharged 5 litre .. damn!!!!... a truly amazing car and a special moment in time when these vehicles were available!!! Good times

Such a great review. Always wondered how the mustangs would fair up against the FPVs. Cheers for the great content and the depth of detail!

My mum took me to a Ford dealership back in around 2008 - 2009 I think while she was buying a Focus. They had a GT there and I immediately fell in love I would have been around 11 or 12 years old. The sales guy could tell I loved the GT and went out of his way to move a bunch of other cars to take me for a drive in it knowing full well we weren't buying it. One of my fondest memories it was comfortable and powerful, and he revved the guts out of it at every red light I had the biggest smile on my face. I hope one day I can own one.

Love your reviews mate, keep up the good content!

Great review Rossco, keep em coming🙏

Looks like your in my neck of the woods - Gidge after the recent fires. Apocalyptic yet completely relevant backdrop given these may well be the swan songs of Ford. Cheers for the 20 min entertainment and keep it up representing Perth in such great videos. Cheers.

awesome vid ross vids keep getting better and better

Mustangs and the Falcons from the beginning till now man what can I say they are Beautiful ,Amazing Awesome cars lots of History they made thats why I allways Love them Both. Ford go further Ford Stronger.from us here Kiwis

Awesome video bro! Keep up the good work

The fpv comes alive after 100 tho !

Loving the passion you have for these Ozzy V8s Ross...keep 'em coming.

Great episode Ross ! 👍👌

Another killa vid mate with two killa cars 🤙

To sum up. The mustang drives like an american car. The falcon like an aussie car. I've always had Falcons and Holdens, but now I have a mustang and I absolutely love it.

Love your reviews mate

Go the Aussie GT 😍

its a bit silly really just jam a blower on the mustang and you have the best car simple the power the handling ,one guy i know has one set at 850hp and drives it every day no stress

In the Us gen2 coyotes (15-17) make 435 hp and 400 lb-ft. Australia did the coyote platform a disservice not having VVT on all 4 cams and factory intercooling all production vehicles with the supercharged coyote engine. None the less the FPV and FGX vare very unique vehicles wish I could own one.

Love your vids bro!

Filmed on location at Gidgegannup. Would really have enjoyed watching a turbo Barra run against the Mustang too. Americans love that Barra and some have imported the engine, turbocharged it and they are now deep converts. The power is insane. Makes me feel so proud to be an Aussie.........from WA.

G'day Johnny mate,2 nice cars there but of course I'd pick the mighty Aussie FPV GT or that would just be bloody un-Australian of me lol,I've never had the pleasure to drive a Mustang I'll have to take one for a test drive one day,also I was happy to hear that soon hopefully you will be doing around 4 reviews a week which will be fantastic I hope you eventually do 7 haha,anyway a great review & I'll catch you on the next one buddy cheers.

Good work mate

i bought a 315 gs brand new in 2013. did a stage 1 kpm kit which was an air filter and respectable tune backed by factory warranty. ran 12.1 @ 117mph left in drive with aircon on and stock tyres. they are just a mad engine combo.

Had the XR8 BOSS in a BA and the last XR8 SC 5.0 (unfortunately the auto as couldn't find a new manual) and it was chalk and cheese. Brilliantly matched with the SC. I was also considering a Mustang at the time but it was a minimum 6 month wait for a new one. If there was no wait, I probably would have bought the Mustang - because it's a Mustang!

Nice work bro 🤙🏻 And good set of coil overs in the fpv and that boat feeling would disappear I would think ??? Still wondering if I should coil over mine ,some bigger front brakes should be next lol . Your f6 has coil over yeah ?

Proud owner of the GT"s little sister the GS Boss 302 and i wouldnt give it up ....luv it ...its looks ...speed and its the last of the V8 Falcons

I'm with ya on a fpv. Proud owner of a 2011 fpv gt!!!

Aussie🇦🇺Aussie🇦🇺Aussie Oi🇦🇺 Oi🇦🇺 Oi🇦🇺 😎 👍 ✌ 😁

Love the Falcon ,should do a vid on VE\VF Commodore vs Chevy Camaro

Great comparison and yes all aspirated Aussie FPVs have overboost. I have an FPV and I am truly at a loss about every motoring journalist saying the seating and steering wheel position are an issue, however it must be because everyone says it. My FPV is perfect with all its faults😄! Mine is a Fg Viper coloured Super Purstuit ute with auto art wheels ( simmons) 14.5 inch rears with 355 pzeros enormous deep off set to the outside and 9inch fronts colour coded to the car. Trutrak with heavy duty shortened 28 spline axles and over size bearing. Huge flared rear arches. Herrod suspension herrod tune herrod exhaust, Herron cold air induction and Ford Racing Cams from the states, shaker. It looks nuts, it drives nuts and every where I go people love it. It looks really tough. The next thing I will do is flare the front (+30mm) to change the outers on the 3 peice wheels to run 10.5 inch 285 x 30 front which will include a hugely time consuming job of flaring the front bar to match the guards. That will be my 6 month part time job. Then high stall and shift kit and maybe a yellow terra supercharger with around 530 killerwasps and that is it. Maybe pull the plastic tub liner out and aluminium line it....let's see. Thank you Ross. It certainly is a pity that Ford just didn't evolve the dash board on all the falcons from 2009. The Fg is still a gorgeous looking vehicle but the dash is in my case 12 years behind the style of the vehicle. I say because my ute looks as good or better than any current vehicle on the road but then there is the 2009 dash.

Put the FPV GT up against a FN Mustang GT with the 339kw motor. Be a fairer comparison.

Overboost is something you never get sick off, and as an owner of and FGX XR8 manual, with 48000 on the clock, it never gets old.

Mustang looks more interesting but I think I’d want the GT, I’m excited for this. Haha I hope you break some Australian hearts and go for the mustang 😁😁

Great work

Late to the party but I’m from the US and would love both of these cars. The FPV reminds me a lot of a 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT8. Doesn’t handle as well as a sports car but can carry your family, groceries, and absolutely take off in a straight line. Not to mention the FPV has a very unique sound in comparison to what I’ve seen in the states. Really wish we could’ve gotten the Miami to pair with the Coyote!

Like the falcon to cos may have high seat. An lot of windows, but if ya rollin back roads ya want that view.

Do a F6 vs Mustang

Im a ford guy but honestly no FPV really looks special and the interior is just yuck.My Mustang is Sublime to look at inside out..let alone the power and handling..sorry FPV ...Mustang all the way espesh the 10R80 is silky smooth and lightning fast.

Can’t wait

Be a bit tight fitting a family in the Mustang carseats and all

Cheerz Rossco

The FPV GT for sure! That sound it makes! ❤️❤️

Thanks Jon!......another excellent review! Great to hear your perspective! I have a stock 2017 Mustang and 2011 FPV GS Ute which has been enhanced, ( Brembos all round, full X-Force exhaust system, coilover kit, plus tune). I would not part with either!

Great vid Ross 👍They should've put our V8s and the barra in the mustangs ey. Can't watch the premiers anymore unfortunately cause I'm working avo

Great review! I’ve always envied the mustang, but these days you would probably see me buying a BA falcon over a mustang gt.

Excellent comparison between Broadmeadows & Detroit. If was me, FG everyday. MINE WOULD HAVE EYE LIDS THOUGH.

Excellent comparo

Would have been interesting to see how the GT would have gone with that factory launch control.

I love like 2010 fg fvp Ford Falcon Gt sedan 6 speed manual v8 335 sedan and 2016 Fn Ford Mustang gt fastback v8 6 speed manual big fan of Ford

I like the falcon, I've seen the mustang before, nice car also. I'm not so sure about a v8. People say that the falcon interior is plain, but some people prefer a simpler less cluttered layout. I've also seen the falcon as a no nonsense man's car. I like the more squarish mirrors and headlights of the falcon. I'd like to see the v8's with a turbo instead of the supercharger.

GT all day long, but man i bet you could have alot of fun in that Stang!!

You the real deal car guy . To have an FPV 8 cylinder ...💕 But happy to roll in my BA xr8 manual ...😂

You should do a review on the xr6 fig mk2

The FPV GT is exactly that, a grand tourer. Its about eating miles, bags of torque, carrying 5 people, plenty of luggage space and even achieving decent fuel figures. They aren’t about track days or stupid gadgets. The engine is superb especially given it’s forced induction. Unfortunately fords lack of investment in the Falcon made its later years, especially in the FGX era, impossible for it to be competitive. I actually really like a higher seating position personally. Love the mustangs colour and modern interior, what I have never like about the mustang is the stupidly long bonnet length. Outside of that though it’s a great looking car with a fantastic engine. Great review as always mate.

I would love to get ahold of one of those boss 290s in the States.. to put some Ausse muscle in my late model Mustang

When you change gears your left foot should go on the floor not the clutch.Sorry I may be wrong just a tip for newbys

335 GT for sure

Definitely gotta find a top of the line Camaro vs a HSV GTSR I know I'd definitely take the HSV anyday love this video still take the FPV anyday

The falcon every day of the week. Also, the aussie falcon dates back to 1964 too.

I agree that the mustangs dont feel special they are way to common

What's been done to the exhaust on the fpv? It sounds beautiful

The gt everything is there under the hood. The mustang is great but needs performance inhansments to give it the up and go.

This would be different if we got the Shelby 350 350R the Shelby GT500. But we get nothing and if we do its $100 grand over what the Americans get. Case being the ZL1 Camaro the Silverado. 180 Grand + With the FPV for its time being the Top of the falcon range. The GT mustang over in the states is like the Holden Base SS to the HSV GTS...The GTS being the GT500. Great video

If the Mustang had a the FPV spec and supercharged as well it would go heaps quicker. The body shape they used (the shape before this one) looked simirler to the original they built.

I own a bf gt may 2007 in neo blue 6 speed auto it had 45,500 klms when I bought it it now has over 51,000 klms on it now owned by one owner in neo blue it's not supercharged but it has a xforce 3inch system cat back I love that exhaust note like it should have come factory I love my bf gt to pieces go the aussie gt ford man forever

The FPV will just increase in value not so much the Mustang. Good review.

It would be cool if you could get your hands on a EB or EL GT , just for laughs.

iam a holden man and the only choice is the Falcon FPV .... go the Aussie Beast !!!

iv had the pleasure to own both cars , they both hav cons and pro;s at the end of the day it;s a personal choice on what you prefer go FORD

Its common because its good and good value and people have realized thus

Gotta go the GT, both in beautiful blues but 😍

Hey Ross, you know about the driving position, we’ve touched on it before but don’t you think the whole high ride height thing is a bit wrong? I’m 5”11 and big, but I’ve lowered the seat down on my FG and the right height is normal. Hell I find it slightly low since I put it low so my legs don’t hit the wheel. Maybe u haven’t lowered it? Try it out cause your smaller than me man you should fit in well especially height wise.

Supercharged vs N/A great match up let's get a 2021 GT500 vs the gt

I'm from Australia and I see utes all the time and my dream car is a mustang

ED XR8 or XR8 sprint next. please

ROSS..... Overboost doesn't work like that. Overboost works when the car is in the right temp range.... it will normally ALWAYS be in Overboost mode. So unless the car has just been started or it's running really hot......Overboost is ON! 😉

the GT will always be a winner ...nothing wrong with the Mustang but I saw 7 Mustangs on the way to work this morning ..3 in the car park at work and another 5 on the way home...just an average day

I like both GT but one cost more so it should

Good video but having had Falcon's for decades there's no way I'd go back now They are pretty much a one trick pony Much prefer a supercharged Mustang They are better in every way as you'd expect from a modern car

only thing I didn't like about my fg xr6 turbo is how high you sit up

Cool review and cool cars m8 but the FPV is way better than the standard Mustang- mustang vs XR8 more like it and the FPV GT should be in comparison with the GT350 or GT500, comparing these 2 fords is like comparing the mighty HSV GTSR W1 to the vf style chevy SS we imported to the US- or a HSV GTO pontiac/monaro vs VX/VY SS

Falcons have always been good on straights but the commodore owned the corners.

I've read on mustang forums that you need to pull a fuse to truly turn off tc? Can anyone clarify this? Looking at getting my ass into a manual stang, hopefully it's just a US thing

Test the Falcon Eco Lpi Ross.

I would choose the coyote anyday love the power and the look but would buy one in auto so u got the power constantly there

Shame we never got a 2 door falcon

Big fan of Ford/dodge/Chrysler I love like v8 engine auto

A bit of an apples and oranges comparo. One is a sports car from the outset while the other is a sporty tourer. I personally prefer the Mustang inside and out. Very purposeful looks and interior is a fun and pleasant place to be. Colour certainly kicks the Falcon's arse. A bit unfair putting the Mustang against a forced induction car (yet it still beat it). Yep,I'll take the import thanks. Don't forget the Falcon has only held it's value nominally, not in real terms. It'll probably go north from there though.

There's a big difference between a muscle car and a sportscar, the Falcon was always muscle, lots of torque pushing lots of weight, it feels like it's moving the earth when you shove it. The Mustang was a sportscar, it was Fords answer to Porsche, people forget that it was built as a small, light, european type sportscar.

I will stick with my 2017 mustang GT thanks

Always been a Holden man. But have a 2016 WRX at the moment, was thinking of going an STI as wrx too slow, but now watching reviews on Mustangs, definitely in my opinion a much better looking car than falcon, but each to their own. If I go the Mustang it’s gotta be 2020 or newer, 460hp, GT all the way.

Jump in a supercharged Mustang then compare the two. Love my Fords always have always will but I brought a Mustang

If only mustang wasn’t as common
