Ford Falcon looks like a 4door Pontiac GTO. The interior/exterior lines have a likeness that is almost uncanny.

Except the Falcon rocks the freaking socks off the GTO. A 5.4l DOHC "Boss 290" motor, or a 4.0l Turbo I6, 6 speed manual, 5 speed auto tranny, RWD, IRS, 4 doors. They're freaking cool. Stock both the XR6T and the XR8 run mid-low 14's (they're 4000lbs), but like any turbo RWD car, the XR6T is VERY easy to be made a monster.

In a matter of opinion...and only because im a fan of that I6 turbo..i would agree but...this is where the GTo would blow the doors off a falcon.

-5,970 cc 6 liters V 8 front engine with 101.6 mm bore, 92 mm stroke, 10.9 compression ratio, overhead valve and two valves per cylinder LS2 400/395 (Corvette Engine)

-6spd Tremec T56 transmission (Corvette Tranny)

-11.7 Vent. disks front, 11.4 Vent disk rear. W/ red GTO logo (Corvette brakes?)

-IRS as well as front

-Mid 13's easy. Low 13's, high 12's...with very good driver/conditions.

-Hoodscoops ^_^

In all actuality, the Falcon was designed to compete with the Commmodore, which is basically a 4 door version of the Holden Monaro. The Falcon and that are more evenly matched.

I just think the Falcon looks better, and I like the motor choice alot more. And I think the interior is killer.

COMNBYU is an ignoramus.




Actually, I was trying to be "cute". Most everyone here should live in Virginia and consequently should be somewhat familiar with "Cracker Barrel" restaurants. Well, there's this little "triangle game" at each table with a bunch of little tee's. The object of the game is to jump (one at a time) each tee until you can get as few left as possible. Now on the wooden triangle it gives titles for the user according to how many tee's you ended up leaving. Well the people that leave 4+ tee's get the title "eggnoramous".


Yes, YOU are an eggnoramous. You are one of the kids that had 4+ tee's left.

are you stupid or slow? I can't believe you used an example for how you spell something based on a game at the worst resturant in the Union.
