I mean seriously"the new new falcon".. so what exactly is "new" in the falcon? old motors, old gearboxes, old wheels, they reckon they fixed the handbrake... that's new!!

Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 7m 7d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 23/02/08 02:54 AM Share Posted 23/02/08 02:54 AM The handbrake is self adjusting.Stop being so narrow minded!The suspension is new on the front and re-engineered on the rear, the steering is new, the engines have been significantly improved, turbo, exhaust and intake sytems have all been redesigned, 2 of the 3 gearboxes available are new, the ICC and interior controls are all new and add a heap of extra features.I've also heard the diffs are now ZF units but I'm not sure if that one is true.

For will know if you flash it but won't stop you doing it. I can't remember which thread it was in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 7m 7d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 23/02/08 03:34 AM Share Posted 23/02/08 03:34 AM That's correct the PCM is the same.The FG will be an awesome package to modify from IMO.The stock pipe work is now setup the right way and just injectors and tuning should provide much better results than before.Stock the FG XR6T/G6ET will be fast!They have 533Nm of torque from 2000rpm onwards and 80% of that from 1250rpm. To put that another way the FG turbos will have just 24Nm short of the BA's maximum torque output at 1250rpm! That to me is just amazing!The XR6T was popular in the BA series. With the FG it is the car to buy! The XR8 won't even get close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
