Production value is insane mate keep up the great work!

Great review Clay - as usual, top production. Love the photography too. GTF is indeed iconic and will only appreciate, at least if looked after, which most will be. Ya know, based on your performance figures quoted (0-111kph 4.7 and quarter 12.7) she's very nearly as quick as a Sprint 6 Barra! :-)

Great video Clay... You mention the GT-F is not quite as speedy as the F6's & Co. The FPV GT R-Spec however, was certainly not short changed. It is the quickest road tested production Falcon of all time and it is a Supercharged V8. Keep up the good work and have a nice day......

Sick car Brah'👌

Beautiful car.. my GT, had a tune and a bigger fuel pump and was running 400klw at the wheels.

That is beautiful

Hi clay. You say it is up only 20kw on the standard 400kw at the crank. But having been tuned with that exhaust maybe larger injectors the 420kw you say it has now would be at the wheels, so it has more than an extra 20 kw as you mentioned. Gaining 20 kw from exhaust system and tune is incorrect and hardly worth the hassle/ expense. It most likley went from around 320rwkw to 420rwkw with those performance upgrades.

@Redpepper7376

Ай бұрын

Yep and under cool conditions will you more boost.

A great car no doubt but the AU series II/III is one of the best made Falcons in my opinion. Australia wasn't ready for it back in 1998 due to its futuristic design but now in 2022 their design still looks modern amongst what's currently on the road. Yes the AU I wasn't the best looking in base models but subsequent design refinements changed that. Ford invested 5yrs and $700 million into development of the AU. That's ~$1.3 billion in today's money. I don't think any other Ford series received the same kind of investment. Considering reliability, my AU II Fairmont Ghia ( 2001). Has just ticked over 285000km and the factory water pump has just failed. That's crazy durability not found in more modern cars. The vct intech engine still feels fresh and still makes claimed factory power, again fantastic workmanship and testament to the quality of Tickford engineering and blue printed engines. I wonder if the FG GTF has a blue printed engine and will still be running in 15yrs time if driven regularly. I hope so but suspect not

My uncle had a phase 3.It had factory 3.9 gears he took it to the track with a set of slicks and the rev limiter removed and did a 13.4 and could of done alot better too much wheel spin.So really the xy gt ho with modern tyres is a high 12 sec quarter mile car.

@bloodmoon1410

2 жыл бұрын

I have a xy with a Cleveland 4v 351 ~430 hp and 3.5 gears 6,300rpm limit. It is way lighter than the fgx xr8 that I have. But the supercharged engine just produces so much torque across the rev range and the other limiting factor is the top loader transmission just can shift as quick as the manual xr8. There is no other v8 that I have heard that sound as good as the Cleveland though. It's a pity the journos at the time did the quarter run in the phase 3 with the 3.25 rear end as the 3.5 was standard equipment and would have done better than the 14.2 as recorded. Modern tires are another thing that would propel the phase 3 faster than the recorded times back then.
