PookeyMaster Donating Members 1,531 Member For: 14y 1m 14d Gender: Male Location: Parramatta, NSW Posted 03/02/12 05:25 AM Share Posted 03/02/12 05:25 AM A mate of mine and I went on a road trip, both filled our tanks to the max and drive exactly the same route and covered over 400kms... At the end we both pulled into the servo and refilled our cars, over 400kms my GS had used less than 2l more fuel than his FG F6... So to say theirs worse on fuel is rubbish as we both drive the same and get the same kms to a tank and the same fuel consumption...I'd say that's because the 5.0L V8 has DI and the I6T doesn't have DI. If the I6T did, it would probably make close to 300kw and use less fuel at the same time. Unfortunately, I think it's unlikely Ford will invest the money in doing this if they plan on ditching the Falcon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually also on any day where there's the slightest bit of water on the road...As great as the FPV vehicles are, as soon as there is a couple of corners or some water on the road the AWD vehicles will kill them :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the f6 and gs/t are awesome cars that can handle.When the fg f6 was released, in tests by mags stock vs stock it beat the evox around both eastern creek and phillip island. Some 3.5secs at the island.I'm sure the gs/t would do times close to the f6. Edited 03/02/12 10:11 AM by RynoF6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
