LOL, the low light would be street lights, notice how it turned a silver car into a slightly bronze one.

Is that just outside Sizzler in Riverton? I'm not far from there. Still haven't managed to see an FGX on the road yet.

Funnily enough, both Reynolds & Pye both stuffed their first run because the TC was still active, but once they sorted it, the XR8 was on fire

"Final assembly" required that, along with removing stickers and giving the car a wash of sorts, justifies "dealer delivery" charges.

Oh yes, scratching glass to get the stickers off with a paint scraper and wet rag.

Actually the words are the FGX's look frigg#n good- front end so clean and mean, makes the commodores look rather tired and dreary....

Where and who?

Lol, don't worry about me, just an ignorant Aussie, I'm sure we have people you've never heard of either.

Enjoy, you'll love it! They are a great car, I am loving mine at the moment. Such a sweet ride, buy one if you can find a way.

Ah yes, just looked at the track and the man. I remember him now, can't believe it didn't click. I hear he is a nice guy.

That track looks sick! Plenty of twisties, but also plenty of WOT straights too. Enjoy!

The worst thing about the FGX will be with them selling in limited numbers that there won't be many on the second hand market in years too come. This will be the lowest number selling Falcon ever and this will mean that getting a good second hand one in a particular colour will be hard to find. If only I could afford a new one.

Wow Wow Wow - saw my first FGX XR8 (Victory in colour) on the road at St Leonards this morning and didnt it look just fantastic!

Looks like the selling dealer was Rural Ford at Deniliquin (I guess the new owner took it for a short drive to St Leonards in Sydney from there)

Makes me more excited now to be getting mine in August!!!

Rear looks awesome in following pic, a GT wing would really set it off IMO

a fatter GT wing would also need GT side skirts, then a fatter rear bar, so im thinking a BF F6 wing would suit though.

Just had to choose between an xr6t and a g6et and it was the rear end of the g6et without the wing that won it for me. That's saying a lot as i always have manuals, having a territory with a zf gearbox and the fact it's quicker and more economical makes the choice a bit easier. Overall i think the g6et is the pick of the range, would've have loved an xr8 or gt but can't stretch the budget. Hopefully the g6et will be in my hands next week!
