It says "1. Power & torque figures measured using premium unleaded fuel (95RON)"I guess it would be safe to assume that power and torque is actually increased by running a better grade (98RON) fuel. I wonder by how much.←I'm not sure but the XR6T has always been quoted on 95RON fuel. Holdens 6L power is quoted on 98 RON though.←Agreed, which is why I think the power figure is a furfy for the T, and is deliberately done to keep it below the XR8. Likewise for the F6 vs. GT/GT-P too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 25/09/06 11:44 AM Share Posted 25/09/06 11:44 AM Update.Found this via the Ford site; http://www.newfalcon.com.auLooks like the difference with the BF Series II T is the badge on the boot - that says, yes, wait for it.......... "Series II". Excellent........! That'll crack a big load of excitement, and a rush to dealers doorsteps. New T Photo's are there - if you play spot the difference, you'll go blind.
