Seriously thinking about grabbing one last Falcon before they disappear. My lease timings seem about right. Do I grab a V8 or get the almighty XR6T? Fuel would be a killer though. I do over 100 km daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 17y 7m 26d Posted 07/01/14 01:37 AM Share Posted 07/01/14 01:37 AM I can't recall the exact article and content , but I can recall some 12 months ago reading a article that stated FPV had been testing a 375kw engine , and they stated , without a intercooler , the internals as well as the gearbox and diff could result in a high number of warranty claims - which FPV were not happy to accept as it would have resulted in the brand been blemished ...They failed to deliver the 375kw engine and FPV failed regardless ...There was an intercooled version (the first Miami I ever drove was intercooled), suggestions were it made more power than that. Both the versions used to smash the HSV benchmark cars they had apparently, but unfortunately for us they used to smash everything else underneath the car too, hence there is now no cooler, and a de-tuned version of the non-intercooled motor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to increase the power have a manual and strengthened drive train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
