They dont look much different from the BA falcons but subtle little changes make them look more aggressive.

Personally I reckon the Fords look alot better than Holdens these days. (and I'm a holden fan!)

What do you guys think of these Aussie designed and engineered masterpieces? :P

Anyway here are the pics: (if you havent seen them already)

I think the F6 Typhoon + ZF Six Speed Auto transmission may possibly be the best Australian built car ever, on paper at least. A real transmission with a brilliant engine and balanced chassis, what more could you want?

Considering that motoring journos have always complained that getting any powerful Australian manual car off the line cleanly is tough, and that the T56 manyal is rather agricultural, I have a feeling it may be quicker than the manual in all real world situations. Same goes for Falcon GT Auto.

I have yet to drive one, so my final conclusion will have to wait.

massive ford fan here....i absolutely love the new range. they look incredible...

yeah its only subtle changes, but things like the new F6 rims...they look incredible!

Good stuff ford, keep up the good work!

i love them......

some good auzzie muscle...... every time i see one i want one.... looking at that typhoon as a next car (in a few yrs).....

when i was at bathurst this yr i saw 30plus gt, gtps, typhoons etc (not inc ones there for advertising etc)

and maybe 2 hsvs......

they are certainly taking off!!!

Holden are bloody lazy. I loved holden until ford released the XR6 Turbo. Thats when the respect came from. Holden UNTIL TODAY still hasnt created a rival turbo car to compete against the XR6T.

another huge ford fan here. not bad, although, i think ford, in the current automotive climate (ie, coupes, turbo's and drivability being issues ppl look at nowaday's rather than pure cubic inches), would do well to release a cutdown 2 door, based on the falcon chassis (just like the monaro from holden), with the 4L turbo 6, and awd.

did someone say Ford GTR? :P

I think they're real nice

I'd seriously consider a BF XR6T in the future if I find myself looking for a new car

Though I'd see if I can get one with BA2 wheels, I'm not much of a fan of the BF XR6 wheels.

Holden are the ones concerntrating on size...ford is just squeezing power out of smaller engines.

the BAs have 5.4 litres...HSV's are 6 litre now

For that price tag, a gtr/evo/rx7 would do me with some cash left over to spend on the gf  :P

two things wrong with your post:

A new Ford comes with warranty... the cars you mentioned dont.

And your GF should be spending things on you buddy :D

A few of my mates were involved in the final on-road testing of the BFs a month or so ago. All reports from them have been positive. I think they're pretty good.

Ive got a vid of "some guy" doing a 0-230km/h run in the BF GT-P, its pretty quick. (Apparently theres a 230km/h speed limiter) But of coarse Im not going to show anyone, for legal reasons ;-)

you cannot tell people about that, and then not show it

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
