Post your late model Falcon videos!

Drive XR7 · 21-10-2005, 11:21 AM

I want to hear a late model Falcon or GT run through the gears or light em up a little bit. Anybody have any links to videos?

There was a few of a Typhoon in the FPV section a while ago ... taken from inside the cabin (let's just say 150km/h came up really quick) ... *cough* was taken on a private road *cough*

You are dying to find out more about our performance cars, arent you Drive XR7. Good on you, nice to see someone from another country likes whats happening over here. By the way, they are a sweet ride.

They're f***king cool. We've got 4 muscle cars here, and one of them in Australian. Mustang, Corvette, Viper, GTO (Monero).

I want to see something different. If I were to ever import a new FPV GT to the US, it'd be the other one of it's kind. Truely amazing... I love the interiors... superior quality to what we have... the engines are superior... no way would they ever put a N/A 5.4L into anything here (it honestly wouldn't sell because of the gas crisis), and the styling is something in between the Corvette and the Viper. 4 doors? F***king versitile and fast at the same time.

I love the Aussie cars... even the utes (a totally new concept to Americans... we have pickup trucks, and the Lightning), but I gotta admit I like the Commodore ute better. ;)

That's Monaro, pronounced Mo-nah-ro. Mo like mohawk, nah like narcissistic, Ro as in your boat. You've surely got more Muscle cars too. Charger for one?

Charger has a 5.7 and a 6.1 coming up, and four doors :P (I'm playing the devil's advocate here)
I don't quite agree with you on the styling thing though, these things are big and beefy, the corvette and viper are sleeker, more nimble looking cars. Svelte.

Even the utes?

I talk to alot of Americans, lots of friends from the US etc. Its funny, how people there want our cars and we want theirs. I don't know if I'd call our engines superior to US stuff... the '03 Cobra's Supercharged 4.6 absolutley slaughters every engine we've ever made... now if that was in an FPV GT

:

Anyways, nice to see more people from the states interested in Aussie cars.

How does that old saying go... "the grass is greener"...

Yeah the new Cobras are pretty freaking sweet. Pulley, exhaust, intake and those things are at 480HP / 357kW. Almost scary how easy they can be made with the stock bottom end and stock supercharger.

I've got a new FPV GT-P set as my background at work and everyone walks by and says.. "What's a GT-P?" I actually like explaining how the car is Australian and how "they've all the coolest cars over there."

When I visit down under one of these days, I wonder if I can rent an FPV.

BlueRaven · 22-10-2005, 02:10 AM

This is the same kind of thing that i've been hearing about. Aussie cars are underpowered compared to a lot of American cars, but the build quality over there is terrible.

b2tf · 22-10-2005, 10:50 AM

Have a look @ the FPV Website, it has videos doesnt it?

XR06T · 24-10-2005, 06:03 PM

hmmm.. watched that vid of the xr8 and it ran exact same mph as i did but is .3 secs quicker overall!!
is it my 60' time that let me down?

PS sorry to be off topic but its a little puzzling!!

When i get mine back 'll get some footage up.

cogdoc · 24-10-2005, 10:42 PM

Funny, but by the end of my FPV day the motorkana had deteriorated like this too.... :voldar02:

And "gas crisis"??? Last year when I visited Florida for work, my highlight was Grandma and Grandad passing me in a 7 odd Litre Cummings diesel mini truck. I did get to see a guy get angry and light up a Viper down the road though, THAT was impressive......

You ARE spot on about the interiors. You guys use recycled GI Joe dolls or something?? What is the story there??

sfr rob · 24-10-2005, 10:51 PM

WOW! thats UNREAL!

i want more vids.

why isnt there a video section on these forums?!

cheers
