Why The Ford Falcon is Better Than The Holden Commodore

Why the ford falcon is less crap than the Holden commodore

[Zerobeat-dctp]

As an American who is really interested in Aussie cars, this has taught me everything I’ll ever need to know, thank you.

[rtyt]

Holden Always did the better 8 but Ford did the better 6

[jackeldridge]

Absolute truth dude, genuinely convinced that the Barra is one of the best motors ever made. Thing can run on LPG, fucken basically barbecue propane, with minimal conversion work, survive til the heat death of the universe and still outlap anything on the road.
Should prob make a video just focusing on the Barra in the future honestly, love ya stuff bloke

The worst part about the demise of Holden in Australia and the decline of commodores is that you don't automatically know where the fuckwits are on the road anymore... They could be in anything now.

As a bogan who has owned both, you’ve got it wrong. Let me address each of your points and why your missing some subtle advantages of the Crappydo… er.. Commodore:
1. Every time someone buys a commodore, they contribute $100 more to the economy to save used car dealer unemployment and provide that little more stamp duty to their state. People who buy falcons are duping tax avoiders.
2. No No No No.. Holden wasn’t dumping Aussie engines – perish the thought.. In fact, as Australia is a wealthy country and America were so poor at the time, Holden and it’s buying bogan public extended the hand of friendly charity to our American compatriots. A friends father was an engineer at GMH at the time, and he nostalgically looks back at changing the rocker cover to say Holden.. a real piece of art. And those Ford engines were, well… noisy and loud.. even too much for Bogan Holden owners.
3. Again.. you have it wrong.. that relative lack of durability was a design feature to keep people buying more and making the whole economy more durable. And what self-respecting bogan needs more than a 2-keg carrying capcity, anyway. The Falcon was just a waste of carrying capacity.
4. That wasn’t a Falcon burning off a commodore with more power.. the banana in the diff gave it a better spin ratio or whatever that ratio is called.
5. Jim Bean v., Meth Bogans? Shows that the Commodore drivers have far more luxuriously expensive tastes – and even helps the black market economy – win/win.
6. Looks.. beauty is in the eye of the bogan…
7. Oh, what about Found on Rubbish Dump/Failed on Race Day.. You just picked an outlier case. I will have you know my VS commodore only needed a new reverse gear, diff, and ignition harness in its first 10 years of travel. Some of it was even after it clocked 140, 000 kms.

This is exactly why I driver Ford Falcoon, and you forgot to mention that the ladies love, men in Falcons.

drove around in my au for god know how long with no coolant. still ran good

Taking the mick out of the commo here, got a good laugh out of it. Moreso since i have a VEII SSV Ute myself. Been around a good few falcons, when my dad owned XF's to EB's from the mid 2000's to early 2010's. All cheapo, all under a grand & most were LPG as well, so they were cheap to run. Though the last one he bought, was an NAII Fairlane Ghia from $1000, ended up flogging of to a bloke for $400 or so in the end, still a nice one that was. The intech, followed up by the legendary Barra Six. What some have called the australian 2JZ even, a great motor for sure. And not matter what, the age old battle of the Falcon vs. the Commodore will keep going, a good bit of harmless fun it is. Though i'll say, the falcon died with dignity, whereas the commodore became the eurodore, and was the total opposite

Bloody oath mate. Commodore babies will see a Barra getting a oil change and respond with "Should have got a commodore" while their Rattle Tech motor is literally on fire.

[potaka]

This is the greatest Australian video on YouTube.

I haven't stopped laughing 🤣🤣🤣

[CosmoHatton]

I prefer Holden and Ford both. Such great history and rivalry over the past however many years.

[kysupple]

this is the most elite of youtube content

[turvboi]

I’m 15 with 63 years experience with Holden and I agree ford is better

[SamO-ikcm]

Never have I heard so many true facts in such a short period of time

[excalibur]

As a gts owner this was some of the funnest shit ive ever seen. Had me dying when you showed the alloytec picture lmao

[gnutard]

commodores and falcons have their own pros. I like both.

[adzz]

The au's were so sick, they constanly blew up their exhausts from all the awesome that built up in them 😂

[I_love_bread_and_Hungry_Jacks]

Love both, & here's how I see it:

Holden Commodore: Australian Dodge Charger Hellcat

Ford Falcon with a Barra engine: Australian Nissan Skyline R34 GTR with an RB engine

[bossdog]

I pretty much agree with you.
However, my BA Falcon, well, I've NEVER had to do SO much maintenance on any of the other 40 plus cars I've owned...

[XAYT]

good on ya mate, as an au owner i can say ive chopped a wrx and this video is highly accurate
