Simply put, I enjoy reading motor vehicle write ups, flipping through specs etc... and its things like Top Gear that have got me thinking: What is the top speed of one of these falcons? I have a BA XR6T and I have found almost every spec on these forums... but top speed hasn't got a mention.

Can anyone help an interested fan of these vehicles...?

speed limited to 230km/h

edit: im pretty sure its stated somewhere in the owners manual also

Pretty sure Motor mag ran a BA up to 235kph back in 03.

I believe the F6 is limited at 250kph..

Yeah ford 230km/h limited FPV 250km/h limited

Didnt someone run one at the airport and get it upto 307kph?

yep just found it.

307 kph - Australia's fastest XR6 Turbo

Yep , that was the APS car. Ran down the airstrip.

Got a bit twitchy at that speed, f braking was pretty exciting as well from

memory.

F6 are limited are limited at 250kph , however this can be switched of with edit and they will

pull to the 270kph on the FPV speedo, though I not sure how accurate it is at that speed

But they certainly get boaty

I hit the limiter in my stock 03 ba and slowing down was not pretty at all. shutter shutter.

so, does the spoiler on the XR6T and FPV have any aerodynamic effect, I.e. keeping the car on the road at speed, or is it purely cosmetic?
