Default Re: Last EVER Falcon Picture & Discussion Thread

I think it's fantastic that the last Falcon model will be the pinnacle of Australian motoring manufacturing, the Ford Falcon will also go out as being the one with the MOST local content and having its two mainstream engines with a lot of Australian content (the 4.0 and the 5.0 Coyote both have a large amount of Australian input, 40% local parts for the Coyote).
Who would have thought that the current 4.0 Litre inline six can be traced back to its origins in the 1970's, if there was ever a proven formula, that was it.

It's pretty amusing though, considering the XR8 next year will be reborn with the same spec engine as the FG GT, could you imagine being a HSV owner forking out all that money on a brand new GTS, then pulling up to the lights next to a FH XR8 and then sitting side by side all the way to 100 and beyond
Even more embarrasing would be the lower spec variants of the VF in HSV's stable getting whopped by a factory XR8.
