Goodbye Falcon

[unfnknblvbl]

2012 Lotus Exige S V6
345bhp, 1080kg = 319bhp per 1000kg. And it handles like nothing else

That Beamer does 0-60 in 4.1 seconds.

It's not all horsepower, there's torque bands and gearing to take into consideration.

It probably eats windy roads better than a falcon too.


I'm not the biggest BM fan, but as soon as your disposable dollars gets towards 100,000 grand it's hard to go past an M5. (outside of modding which has it's own issues)

And not one word on the hsv lsa? Bah!

Of course not, this is a Ford thread!

If Ford built unreliable cars then more people would be buying parts and they'd probably stay in business.

I wonder how much Commodore sales will increase with the death of the Falcon...

Ford is a customer of ours - that is one of the reasons why my current company car is a Ford. I just chose my next one that I get in August. I am getting the VF Commodore Evoke. No point supporting Ford. Evoke is pretty good for a base model with a decent list of features. Our other car is a Camry - so I am rather car boring...

Ford needs to go out with a bang and release a mean Falcon coupe for their last year. When was the last Falcon coupe? The XC in the mid-late 70s?

Yep - if you're going to go out, may as well go out chucking a complete spac. Make some ridiculous 650hp GTHO Phase-Fuckoff that's stupid fast and more likely to explode in a fireball than make it round a corner - it'll be a legend. It will have a shaker for no apparent reason.
