I'm just grateful they slowed the TRD Aurion down to 6.1 seconds to keep us all safe from harm.

I'd double check that 5s figure Hulkster as it looks a tad argumentative and not much else.

Very entertaining to say the least.
AFF has evolved beyond just a falcon and a few other cars. It's the characters within the community that keep many interested, myself included, with a great spectrum of knowledge, humour and other entertainment.

And hats off to Hulk, if you do exist.

Pepe the TRD uses the supercharged engine rather than the standard V6, it makes a good 40kW more power and still only manages 6.1s to 100. I'm not sure you can even buy them new any more, I've had trouble finding them on Toyota's website.

I like to theorise that hulky is doing a doctorate in the social sciences and all these threads form the basis of his impressive thesis that one day we may get to read when published in a science journal....



Wishful thinking?!?


One thing is for sure many arc up over these threads which in itself provides half the entertainment, one cant help but check them out but...

The XT does not exist in the FG X range.

So surely the Aurion is the answer to your question, by process of elimination.

End of thread.
I tried logic and reason, hoping he'd get the hint when I suggested the VF Berlina, but alas, the lad seems to be bereft of either.

Yep, use of logic does not get you anywhere in these Hulk threads.

But then again, I don't think he has replied yet since that last post of mine. So there's hope yet....

If he's genuine (I mean he's obviously not, ever), why can't we give him a month to buy either a brand new Aurion of FGX. But if he doesn't, why shouldn't he be banned for trolling week after week? For example, his unproven and obviously trolling V8 comment is purely to generate angry rebuttals.

Hulk, you're turning me off these forums, and I assume many others who just cbf justifying your threads by posting in the manner I have.
Many years ago i asked a few questions about supercharging your car (boss260). People said either supercharge it or ban him... i came back with a supercharged car.. then the doubting toms shutup..my point is my questions are real... this saturday im likely to buy one or the other.

So please dont question my intent. Its a real question. Im leaning towards the aurion but trying to find reasons to go FG-X falcon

Even in a ford community im struggling to get a legit response why to pick fg-x.

Its a fair option but im looking at a base model as it will be a high km car doing around 25000-30000km per year.. the base vf engine is a fair bit slower than the aurion/falcon.

Hulk, take it upon yourself to just go and test drive one of each back to back and hopefully you will come to reason on which vehicle is the better option, if you are half the car enthusiast you say you are and know just a little about the driving pleasure that each individually can bring you then you will have your answer.

Hopefully then you can report back to us all on Sat with your real experience and an answer to your question.

Ur probably just getting a new Aurion company car.. You already know the answer... Why buy an XT over an xr6 which is cheaper?

I actually get more entertainment watching everyone else crack the ***** in these threads hahaha.

Then again if you read T&C trolling isn't exactly a ban able offence, no matter how outrageous some of the things hulk has said are.

If anything where else do you argue about pointless things then when at 'The Pub' haha

Hulk, the FG-X is no good, get the Aurion mate.





Sorry we all can't help hulk, buying a car is a very personal matter, some like this, some like that. Make your decision and get back to us,.....................or maybe not.

...
I've posted a video of a 2014 aurion with a full tank doing 0-100km/h in mid 5s...bog stock...was in Another thread. I don't know of too many n/a ford v8s (stock) that match it. I've owned plenty of ford n/a v8s too

Serious, I'm not being argumentative, just telling what I've seen first hand.
