Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 22y 1m 16d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 10/08/03 10:15 PM Share Posted 10/08/03 10:15 PM Type R is associated with import cars (as others have pointed out) so Idon't see this as being suitable for Aussie Falcon. The GT-P should be the new 'GTHO'. A modern day GTHO could never live up to the name so have a beefed up (power, not weight) GT-P - GT-Performance.

It will have to be very good though. Its got a lot to live up to.IMHO the GT-P should have been the GT-HO, lose a few kilos and a bit more hit say 330Kw would have done the job.Poor old Ford they are flat out making Xr's at the moment and grinding away peoples standard brakes......

Guest HocuSChrisT Guests Posted 20/08/03 11:09 AM Share Posted 20/08/03 11:09 AM There already is a phase 5, in the Falcon model made by Phase Autos. The bodykit styling was used on Dick Johnson's, and I'm not sure, but there may have been a Phase VI in the XE model, I.e. Kirmit, but I'm not too sure. Now although it's not manufactured by Ford technicaly, it's gonna be confusing with a Phase V model. How about Ford BA Falcon GT RPO 03?, and with the performance XR6T/XR8, call it a Ford BA Falcon XR ESP. since I'm pretty sure the sports suspension technology has been used for years in Europe, might as well call it European Sports Pack.

Guest flavze Guests Posted 21/08/03 10:45 AM Share Posted 21/08/03 10:45 AM GTHO and nothing else for a 380-400 kw V8 falcon, and it has to be kept under 100 grand or it will be a disaster.Needs to be about 80 g's max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs 80+ for a gt-p so keep saving-if they were gonna pay 20+for a 427 monaro any thing is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xa-coupe Member 95 Member For: 22y 3m 6d Gender: Male Posted 04/09/03 11:53 AM Share Posted 04/09/03 11:53 AM If ford keep it under $100K then it will compete with the GTS. Given the competitive pricing we have seen so far I wouldn't be suprised to see it well under 100.Personally, whilst I can't afford one, I think it would be a wise marketing move to keep it as low as possible even if it meant no profit. The PR that would come from a resonably priced beast would have to have a positive impact on the 'lesser' models like the GT, GT-P and whatever else FPV may release soon. Keep it to a low build number and another legend should be born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
