08 Falcon

[Skooby]

Not really fussed. I'll take what is given and wait for the price drop on current Typhoons

[Kimberley Scott]

ELECTRONIC ADJUSTABLE SEATS WITH MEMORY, INCLUDING REARVIEW MIRRORS.

FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IMPROVED

FOR IT TO KICK THEN HOLDEN, AND

FOR ONE TO BE TESTED ON TOP GEAR

A decent V8 would be a good start

[turbomuz]

1. Some weight loss via an all alloy block, some alloy suspension components, alloy bonnet and bootlid.

2. Dual chrome tailpipes

3. Curtain airbags with knee airbags optional

4. Lower set front seats

5. Tacho with a redline

6. Boost and oil temp gauges (with numeral readings) on the T

7. Direct injection LPG with tanks that don't take up so much boot space

8. A flat boot floor with flush fitting car jack

9. Parking sensors front and rear

10. Bluetooth ready with wiring and speaker/mic

11. Turbo diesel option

And above all, some decent build quality and service.

None of this, clunk is normal, rattle is normal, overboost is normal, brake shudder is normal bullsh*t.

This, from a car company that build taxis on the same line!

One but can only dream!

[Evil F6]

Shorter, lighter, short overhangs, direct injection, 300kW, 650Nm for F6, sequential manual, coupe variant and FPV to further differentiate cars from standard cars.

The Aston Martin also has the ZF, but they have the flappy paddles as well.

The gearbox and motor can be ajusted with software to allow blipping of the throttle and sharper shifting.

Ford just need to do some updating of the software to gain these features.

The ZF is one of the best gearboxes in the world IMHO.

So it is a decent box, just ford stuffed the execution.

Well I'd like to see the new Falcon blip the throttle on downshifts, and also allow quicker and smoother down and up shifts.

What will the promised ZF edit allow us to do?

[TurboDewd]

main thing I'd like to see is lower weight.  How can they do this?  I'd suggest some alloy rear suspension parts, alloy block engines and I wouldn't mind seeing a slight decrease in dimensions (back to say a camry size).

←

me too, if they could shave off at least 2-3%, 30kg+ would be an achievable start.

[driftpig01]

A diff with less slop than a $2 hooker..

More power less weight and AWD

If nothing else be as good as the ba/bf

[DaveO]

If they did go for all alloy components as many have mentioned would you be prepared to pay 10k+ more for the car vs what they have now?

-XR6T with a bonnet scoop or something that differentiates it more from the standard XR6 other than the badges and intercooler.

-XR8 needs more low down torque (new engine?).

-GT should have more power from factory.

-Throttle blipping software incorperated into the current ZF gearbox for the FPV's.

-Drop the GT-P and bring back a GT-HO with the same seats as GT-P (maybe even more supportive) and braking hardware but with a s-charged V8.

-F6 is pretty good as it is but offer a version with the GT-P style seats.

-Drop or make the Force models some new sheet metal and interior trim that have more differentiation from the F6 and GT.

-Bring in an FPV Terror and FPV XR5.
