Im just trying to establish the validity of that article about FH power upgrades, which nobody can seem to produce. No need for you to act so menstrual. BTW you're one of the worst culprits derailing this thread so keep your criticism to yourself.

Hey,

You should read what that circus performer wrote about me on the other site

All I've done is show you guys the best look at FH

I'd be happy to see it closed until spyman sends you or another mod a PM about a new pic he has, leave it open for 48 hours then close and repeat.

There has to be a better way to have a chat about the FH surely lads?

Hey,

Got the pm re your last happy to help out with new pics in a new thread

Just as long as I don't keep getting kaka over the info I post

Any chance the V8 will be optional on the base model Falcon?
Heard anything?

And only one model with the turbo 6.
So is that 270 or 310kw's ?

[NanoDuke]

Isn't there going to be an xr6t as well as g6et?

Hey,

The blue one posted here has chrome everywhere so you do the homework

I am pretty sure the picture posted of the front grille showing XR badge location is a good indication of what engine the Turbo models will have.

Throught the grille you can clearly see an intercooler mount bolt which indicates the car has an intercooler fitted. The small XR6T cooler sits well below this bolt on an FG. The F6 cooler sits higher then this mount bolt and can be seen through the top grill.

Unless we are getting an Ecoboost XR, the above imo is a pretty good indicator of what engine the XR6T will get.

[XR Martin]

Ill be surprised as hell if the XR6T gets 310kw

[bangm001]

With no more F6 it probably will have 310??

But that will cost them more to make which means they will have to charge more for the xr6t and even less people will buy it?

[barra240t]

BA-BF F6 270kW- FG XR6T- 270kW

FG F6 310kW- FH XR6T- ???

Just sayin..

I can see Ford using the F6 motor as they have usually quoted the XR6T power outputs around 20kW below the XR8's...

BA/BF - 240/260
FG - 270/290
FH - 310/335

[Professor Farnsworth]

they may possibly offer a power pack like i suggested a few pages back, like seems to now be a rumour with the XR8 too. Base pack 270, power pack, bigger brakes wheels etc and 310. Who knows. I'd find it very unlikely to see every XR6T coming out with a 310. Even if it does, it'll probably be reworked to achieve that without having to use F6 motors, like they did with the FG 270kw motor.

[Polyal]

But why stuff about with a "power pack" just offer the best you have best you wont have long to be recovering costs! More inventory, further complexity etc...

A XR6T at 310 would simply be the greatest BFYB ever..it will stand for years.

[Professor Farnsworth]

offering a power pack is a smart move, and a chance to make some of the final iterations more special - it will give the public options, something they very much like speaking for someone who just bought a new Falcon and was pretty annoyed at the lack of options offered on current models.

But power levels are never options....they are full model differentiation techniques. Which is all fluff anyway, FH should be the most straight to the point release of a vehicle FoA has ever done.

Make the VF look slow, not hard, and offer true value. This whole exercise doesnt really mean jack in terms of FoA making money or not. Give the consumers everything you can for a price that is competitive and it will sell well. Time for play games is well over, aim for the jugular and go out being the top dog.

Brembo's should be really the only decent option other than trim on the XR's IMO. Mainly for w@nk factor.

Its still pretty much the same motor, apart FG F6 having bigger intercooler and turbo to the XRT? In the early days of Ba series XRT's vs Typhoons, there were some internal differences. There hasnt been any other differences in motors for a while now.

[G6T]

G6et 310 xr8 335 or special xr6turbo 310 as spyman said the previous photos of blue 1 had chrome every where it might b g6et or something else new model maybe, it's Interesting anyway. Just saying maybe.
