As an American, it breaks my heart to hear how Holden and Ford and Chrysler over there are gone ... the US is about to go thru something similar it seems with the big 3 here... different reasons perhaps but similar outcomes unfortunatly.

The FPV's were killed off because they were top of the line, no expenses spared, Ford quality vehicles, unfortunately many previous Falcon owners just didn't have the spare cash at the time (around 2016 I think) and traded theirs in for the less expensive SUV or whatever, I bought a 2010 GT around that time, mind you I did trade the Wife in so I certainly had plenty of spare cash laying around.

Wish we had cars like the FPVs or Holden cars here in the USA. GM tried but they never caught on probably because they were not marketed well. Anyway, GM and Chrysler brands here are killing off all v8 passenger cars with the excception of GM's Corvette and GM Trucks(utes). Ford only has the Mustang. No more 5.7 or 392, Hellcat cars or SS or ZL1 Camaros. I really wish Ford would have imported their V8 Falcons here to the states and GM would have marketed their cars better here. Folks that have the rebranded Holdens here love them now, now that we know what they are. Lol

Love the BOSS engines. I don't care what anyone says about them coz they always put a smile on my face. Fast I6 is cool but a throaty V8 is always gonna bring a bigger smile.

Great review of the FG GT. I love the cams, it makes a big difference. What a great sound it has. I’ve got 2009 GS 302 which is the same motor as this one, it just has a lower output. I’d be interested in getting similar cams and exhaust done to mine. It had a pretty good 0-100 considering the suspension setup. A credit to the owner for all the effort he’s put into it to making it such a nice car.

Weekend toy FG GS Miami supercharged/ZF/mods Mid week/Friday toy BA XR8 Boss 260/BTR/basic mods Daily drive BA LTD 220kw 3V/BTR/exhaust 5.0L Coyote/Miami - destroys both 5.4 modular engines in every driving aspect. 5.4L Boss modular quad cam - sounds best, in the 4k rpm range its a beautiful noise, great for highway cruises, its a true driver engine if you use it on long roads, and highway driving, effortless overtaking power... At the sacrifice of downlow off the traffic lights take off... 3V 5.4L modular quad cam - awesome downlow torque, not as raspy or aggressive sounding as the 4V, really good drivability (never driven a ZF backed 3V but i think that would be an ultimate combination for a quick daily drive) Soundtrack fun = Boss 4V modular V8 Speed/power = Miami supercharged V8 Streetability fun = 3V modular V8

@@nemesis_zl1180 I have exactly the gt in this video but in blue. The barra is around 170kw without turbo and the coyote struggled to 300kw in the mustang. There are differences but an exact comparison is difficult. The Miami was only used due to the 5.4 not able to pass new emission regs. It was lighter with an alloy block and slightly lower in the chassis. It wasn’t used because it was more powerful. The 5.4 can pump out easily as much power as the Miami. It has all the same internal changes as the Miami but bigger and stronger iron block.
