FG X, The Last EVER Falcon - Picture & Discussion Thread

[FGX-302]

Don't plan to have more than 30k km's after 5 years so yeah wknder and buying a car bubble to keep it immaculate!

[Lunch]

Buying a what?

[FGX-302]

Black XR8

[Lunch]

Yeah i got that bit, its the car bubble that confused me

[Nicholas Reeks]

Didn't have much luck getting an FPV Pursuit, so next best thing, white and manual FGX XR6 Turbo Ute ordered, with closest delivery next April... Wishing Ford was going to make an XR8 Ute, but oh well.

[FGX-302]

Oh haha.. Car bubble, they are a self ventilated bubble that keeps dust and moisture off your car. Run tiny fans like a computer chew less power than a tv on standby.

Basically u wash your car n put in its bubble for a month it will be schmick when u pull it out.

Workmate has one for his Porsche reckons they are awesome bout $1200 for a falcon size.

Good if u want your black falcon immaculate in 20years time

[Lunch]

For $1200 u'd wanna hope it comes with a puncture repair kit

Who built your engine, there is a built by XX with their initials underneath the supercharger snout on the block.

I wish some showroom black XR8 pics would surface. Majority seems to be white so far and they look great!

Horrid and mean - yes

The front is supposed to bring horrid terror to anyone having a XR6/8 on their tail.

[HO 3]

^^^^^^Its the toughest looking front end since the XW model imo..........the best part is doesnt need a pair of black eyes to pull it off either...........too tough for some apparently


Cheers Mick

[SensationFG8]

I think the BA/BF's had the toughest looking front, I would say though.

Why the veiled attacks on the GT? Isn't it enough to state your opinion that the FGX is tough without the hate for other FoA products? This is a very odd forum sometimes, so many haters.

Yeah same. The hand-me-down FPV rims just aren't doing it for me.

That colour scheme looks like the car you buy when you retire, drive for 6 months, get alzheimers and get put in a home.

Perhaps but they more than doing it for plenty of others.

I'm guessing you're one of the 1200 people who'll buy one.....???

I'm also confident that the ones who bag this car will probably never own one either.

I agree the BF front was the meanest looking.!

That'd be a given wouldn't it? How many people buy (with their own money) a car they don't like?

I'm undecided whether I want the XR8 or XR6T. It is my money after all and I want to be happy with what I buy.

[Polyal]

XR6T! V8's will be about for a while, the ol I6T will not.

Cant really go wrong through.

[futura]

what size are the new XR6 rims?

The XR6T gets the 19" luxury pack rims as standard, and I really like the look of them. Moreso than the FPV rims, it is a shame when they were designing the new rim they couldn't have engineered it to fit over Brembos as then the XR8 could have used the same rim. Perhaps the $$$ wasn't there to do so.

I dunno, the new rim just suits the overall "fresh" look of the car in my eyes.
