Although, 260kw would be good for series 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says something like "260kw available on XR8" just as the guy is saying the thing about the Falcon having up to 260kw.Guys, don't forget that the TV add is for the entire Falcon range, not just the XR6T.

Flukey Seriously Flukey Member Donating Members 4,354 Member For: 20y 1m 6d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/04/04 05:00 AM Share Posted 02/04/04 05:00 AM I hope they dont up the T to 260kw or more for some time yet as all it does is devalue the cars of series 1 owners. Ford continually did that with the AU and ask any AU series 1 XR8 owner how hard it is to offload their cars now at a reasonable price. I hope the changes they make to the T in series 2 are cosmetic only. That aside, it sh*ts me that there is a better Ford on the road than what I have. Geez I hate that!!

I doubt they will say here's the optional pinstripe, different wheel, orange turn indicator, package with a sunglasses holder and illuminated switches....how about we just call it series 2? That's just my thoughts anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just my thoughts anyway...And yes they will have cosmetic changes done cdm. But l sort of like the idea of packages than series changes...think of it this way your car wouldn't depreciate that much.Also keep an eye on the new BAs in a few months they will delete the chrome strip underneath the rear tail lights and ad a chrome strip across the boot.
