ABDC: Ford Falcon XR6 Sprint

Big performance numbers and a large dose of sentimentality just wasn’t enough for Ford’s finest, final XR6

[rodneymcgiveron]

G'day.... Here we go again ..."high driving position'' absolute bullshit...I've owned and driven several Falcons...and the so called high driving position often mentioned is a crock..The driving position is perfect once you've driven a Falcon for more than five minutes like these reviewers...Own a Falcon for a little while and this STUPID comment dragged out each time pales inti insignificance..I have a FG XR6 and it is amazingly comfortable to drive..I ought to know...I speak from experience....GO THE MIGHTY FALCON...

Not much will pass a XR6 sprint, be great to own one

[rodneymcgiveron]

Only one of the world's best turbo engines that is capable of ridiculous things..1100 plus horsepower and super reliable...bugger me you silly old fart

Fair enough you want to compare the xr6T sprint against all these other cars including the holden but you forget its the cheapest out of the lot. Dont get up there and lay in to Ford when its the most practical and affordable out of the lot. For what your paying its heaps and you dont have to save until your 90 like this guy to buy one. And please dont go ahead and praise the holden because when you look at its price tag and compare it to similar european models its a complete bucket of shit and needs a monstrous motor that you find in a Z06 ( and holden still cant tune chevy motors right). At least the turbo 6 is a complete ozzy motor and we didnt have to stand on someone else's shoulders to get there.

Am 6ft 3 and just picked mine up. Put the steering wheel in the highest position then pull out about an inch or more and is fine. Also, given I spend a bit of time on the track behind the wheel of track cars i tend to sit closer to the wheel so position is fine for a streeter.

the irony of the Falcon being in its final years and the guy doing this review is hilarious

[robertgarland]

"Sit too high up in the Falcon" Why is this the first comment anyone says about the Falcon. I've owned and driven Falcons for years and never had a problem with the seat height. Must be another Commodore lover who enjoys having his Arse dragging on the ground.

The guy had Parkinson's he was shaking take notice of his hand/arm and his doing a review on this car at 100km an hour🤦‍♂️

A creepy thing to say " at the end of its life" when it could've been transformed like the Commordore for just one more ride

[alexandershepherd]

"Heavily tweaked" on this engine means 1000hp though.

Mate this is a big tuff cruiser if you insist on going fast around a track get a little hatchback or pocket rocket

Good reviewer - easy to listen to without an annoying voice and sounds like he knows his stuff.

[atomic]

He does not really get it. This machine is timeless now in Aust. and I don't even like Fords.
