Best Off Road
This is the best value touring weapon on the market, the Falcon XR6 Turbo.
0-100 km/h in 5.8, 0-400 metres in 13.8 and a blisteringly safe ability to overtake.
Superb handling and pleasure to drive.
Love it.

It's actually Jenny's (my wife) car. I conned her into passing the Getz onto the Daughter in Law and getting her something "nicer".
I drive the Courier Ute most of the time, but it was a hell of a lot of fun punting the XR6T back from Shepparton today via
Seymour,
Yea and Yarra Glen.

So then, having given the XR6 Turbo a good punt around on some decent roads, you can imagine what the F6 would be like to drive. Especially the new ones!

Congratulations
Bets the hell out of my wifes new car 0-100 km/h in 10.5 and only 180kw and it probably has better stability to and gets much better fuel consumption - however I'd probably win if the start line was Rocky Track
Love it.

Couldn't agree more.
WE traded our Toyota Prado in on one four years ago and have been using it as a tow vehicle ever since.
Because we tow a small European van there is a minimal amount of weight to consider.
Just love the look of shock on other drivers faces as you leave then standing at the lights or when overtaking with the caravan in tow.
Absolute great car.

Your Falcon will beat this one in the corners Jim, but I think you'll get left in a straight line.
I built the intercooler on this one.
Oh, and we've got an old 1987 BMW which is expected to be putting out 700+ horsepower in the pipeline as
well.

I was a passenger in it when it was "only" making 580 rear wheel horsepower and I'm never getting back in it.
I've been a passenger in the Tasman Motorsports V8 supercar with Jason Richards at the wheel and in a straight line the BMW would leave it waaaaaay behind.
It's only a 3 series so it's very light, but being such a short wheelbase and such massive horsepower the thing is as twitchy as hell.
It would be a much nicer car with 300-350 horsepower but it's all about bragging rights with "
mine makes more power than yours" unfortunately.
Still, I enjoy the fabrication side of things though.
Regards Andrew.
