TurboDewd FG Falcon fan! Member 1,452 Member For: 21y 11m 15d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 15/04/08 11:18 PM Share Posted 15/04/08 11:18 PM regarding comments on the linear delivery of power, I.e lack of turbo surge. This is a good thing, it means the car is moving and barely losing momentum between gear changes. This is why its putting down a 13.4 ¼ mile time.I want one!I like the styling myself, a nicer front. Not sure about the rear tail lights though, but theyll do. Are they LED? Do they flash lots during high speed braking like newer euro cars?

For too long now the Facon plastics have been way too easy to scratch.Gotta sy though, the new FG has me keen on the new F6 when my current lease is up.

My father in law works for ford and did mention the linear power in the turbo but did mention that when they went in the manual version they he felt the boost alot more.

The fabric is a little "Different" but the quality is heaps better that the BF. I will be taking a G6ET out also, so I will try and get a little more in depth with the interior of that.The icc is also much nicer, even in the base model. The bluetooth pairing is very nice but will be limited to most of the popular phones, so be sure to ask as many questions as possible before buying...Hey EGOXRT excellent review!! Can you PLEASE test out how the G6ET goes with the LSD regarding traction and powering ut of corners?Cheers mate!
